Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

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

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Face of the Left

Forget Howard Dean. If the GOp wants io be sure of victory in 2004, they should make Arnie Arnesen the face of the left. I had never seen her before, and I just got about five minutes of her on Hardball. Shrill voice, face scrunched up, lips pursed, screaming and ranting with that self-satisfied smug look of a toddler on a pot when she thought she had said something clever- she reminded me of everything I hate about the fringe. She reminded me of the strident leftist college profs who run around miserable, outraged at everything, incapable of smiling. Blech.

    She’s quite a character. She was here at a local university (Wayne State University) talkin’ in a symposium I attended. I got the distinct impression that she has “issues” outside of the issues.
