Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

In my day, never was longer.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Come on, man.

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

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I was promised a recession.

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

No one could have predicted…

Poor, Underfunded Democrats

Remember all those poor, unfunded Democrats who just can’t seem to raise enough money to get their message out that we exposed as sheer nonsense? They have launched a new website and PAC to ‘recall Bush’:

Republicans in California have initiated a recall against the governor, giving three reasons for their effort:

1. The state’s budget has gone from a sizeable surplus to a substantial deficit in a few short years.

2. Gov. Davis did not tell the truth to voters about the state’s budget and economic situation.

3. The state’s economy remains in dismal shape, and the chief executive of the state is ultimately responsible for it’s welfare.

If we apply these standards to a governor, then they must also be applicable to a president. The next recall effort is long overdue: a Bush recall campaign.

Yawn. Yet another high profile fundraising scheme to add to the list of the others we have already discussed– the Recall Bush PAC was formed by the leaders of the Bushwhacker Pack and the Progressive Majority.

    I guess the ImpeachBush.com site was not persuading independents enough, so they come up with this strategy.

    Lux is involved, he’s the guy who manufactured Harken as a “news story” last year… the press of course, which remember is “not liberal,” picked it up and went full throttle.

    Sadly, the lack of a recall provision in the Constitution is going to bring them up rather short. On the bright side, they’ll probably collect substantial contributions from the reading-impaired before that becomes too glaringly obvious to ignore.

    With the exception of Fox, the press is neither liberal nor conservative — just sensationalist.

    If they haven’t done so already, the Democrats ought to obtain http://www.soreloser.com–it‘s a suitable environment for them and will draw all of the whiners about the 2000 and 2002 elections, as well as those generally annoyed at having their asses kicked repeatedly by someone they think is an idiot.
