Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Republicans in disarray!

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

You cannot shame the shameless.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

The Irony of It All

The American Prospect staff, in another anonymous posting on their political blog Tapped, heaps praise on the NY Times, for, of all things, transparency:

THE NEW TRANSPARECY. Check it out! The New York Times has launched a page with bios and headshots of the paper’s editorial board members. Great idea! Tapped hopes The Washington Post follows the example and does the same. Posted at 01:34 PM

Apparently the irony of it all has escaped them. And they are the ones who misspelled transparency.

    Dude. Commenting on misspelling on other blogs? You’re the one who mispelled ‘Rickey’ (see below).

    Jonas, I was making fun of the fact that they are saluting the transparency at the NY Times, while ALL OF THEIR POSTS ARE ANONYMOUS.

    I mentioned that they misspelled transparency so that 50 people wouldn’t tell me that I had screwed it up.
