Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

In after Baud. Damn.

We still have time to mess this up!

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

We will not go back.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Edwards Delivers

This will help John Edwards campaign coffers:

The U.S. Senate voted 49-48 to deny President George W. Bush another victory on health-care policy by blocking legislation to limit medical malpractice lawsuits and jury awards to injured patients.

Doctors, nursing homes, health plans such as Aetna Inc. and hospital owners such as Health Management Associates Inc. support the bill, saying it will lower premiums charged by malpractice insurers such as FPIC Insurance Group Inc. and ProAssurance Corp.

“A lot of these are frivolous lawsuits,” said Senator John Ensign, a Nevada Republican. “In our legislation, we are trying to bring some balance back to the system.”

I expect Edwards will surge forward in the fundraising race this quarter, particularly when you consider the shady manner in which his campaign funds have been raised to date.
