Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Yesterday, Matt Yglesias linked to this NY Times story about Hispanic support for Bush AND big government and stated:

The NY Times takes a look at Latino public opinion and discovers that Hispanics want the government to be bigger, but they also like Bush’s tax cuts. My understanding is that this combination of opinions is

    Something interesting I caught on the news last night… the Houston Young Republicians and the New Black Panthers have been talking to each other. Quick google search gave me this. Probably find a “legit” news source if you spend a few minutes digging.

    I swear I spent a minute looking at “AA” and trying to figure out what you meant, or whether it was a typo, or if you really thought the 12-Steppers were that big a voting block.

    I need a nap.

    You know what else, John? If African-Americans ever decided that they would move, as a bloc, to the center — where the soccer moms roam — they would be the single most powerful voting bloc in all of American politics. But black pols will never ever admit that black moderation = black power.

    If the Republican party made gains like this in the AA community, there would never be another Democrat President in my lifetime.

    Dude

    The article said 35% of Hispanics voted for Bush in 2000, and 21% intend to vote for him again in 2004. What gains?

    Bjorn, Again… has a fine post about a PETA activist that changed her name to GoVeg.com. Donald Sensing tells us that Tony Martin’s problems are far from over, and Kevin points out that New York City is headed in the same direction as the U.K. as they…
