Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Consistently wrong since 2002

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Fight them, without becoming them!

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

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

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Ny Shooting

There has been a shooting in the NYC council chambers, and at least two people have been wounded:

A man fired shots in City Hall this afternoon, hitting at least two people and sending city council members diving beneath their desks. Police officers swarmed into the building in search of the assailant.

Witnesses said the man appeared to be holding a silver handgun, which he was aiming at another individual in the balcony of the City Council chamber, which is on the second floor. Screams reverberated through the halls amid the gunfire.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg was in his office area on the other side of City Hall and was not hurt.

Mayor Bloomberg said the attack appeared to be “random act” and not terrorism.

Brooklyn Councilman James Davis was wounded, and the NY Times had that up before, but removed it- probably until the family is notified.

My question- How long before both sides of the gun issue try to score points on this tragedy?

    Perhaps politicians as a distinct class of criminals should be disarmed ??

    It needs to be said here, that this was a pro-gun control politician on pro-gun control politician crime.

    Wonder how Handgun Control, Inc. spins this one?
