Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

The willow is too close to the house.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

No one could have predicted…

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

People are complicated. Love is not.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

“woke” is the new caravan.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Havens of Fluorescent Idiocy

Charles Rangel has now officially lost his mind:

The U.S. acted illegally when its soldiers attacked and killed Uday and Qusay Hussein, a leading Democratic congressman complained on Tuesday, before mocking the military maneuver that succeeded in eliminating the brutal duo.

“We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody,” Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-NY, told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes.”

My head hurts. Two Words: Democrat Meltdown.

    “Charles Rangel has now officially lost his mind”

    That ship sailed a long time ago, John. This is the guy who compared tax cuts to the activities of the KKK, and who has been pushing a draft as a means of sabotaging the US military. He’s a race huckster–an outright racist, IMO–and a wicked fool. He’s right up there with Maxine Waters as the worst that Congress has to offer.

    I had just posted a comment on Samizdata wondering how long before the US is accused of operating a shoot to kill policy, when I discovered I was way too late. However I didn’t think the first shot would come from an American public representative.

    Umm, John:

    “Fluorescent”, not “Flourescent”.

    Unless you’re trying to make a case that their idiocy is not glowing, but rather is ready to be deep-fried.

    Jay Nordlinger at National Review points out today that Cholly Rangel was at the NY funeral of the recently deceased salsa queen, Celia Cruz.

    Cruz was an expat Afro-Cuban, who hated Castro and was active in Cuban expat anti-Castro activities.

    As Rangel is Castro’s number 1 legislative branch defender in the U.S., one wonders at Rangel’s (a) infallible ignorance; or alternately (b) his brass cojones.

    I’m voting for number “a”
