Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

People are complicated. Love is not.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

When we show up, we win.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Innocent people do not delay justice.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

The Instapundit links to this story regarding North Korea:

A Chinese scholar who is also a key Communist Party member in Shanghai, has said Chinese President Hu Jintao through his top envoy informed North Korean leader Kim Jong-il of a possible United States invasion.

Shen Dingli, professor at Hudan University in Shanghai and who was visiting Korea for an international seminar, was quoted by sources as saying that Hu

    IMO, we’re more likely to nuke NK than to invade it, and a withering conventional attack with aircraft and missiles is more likely yet. The sticking point is the artillery pointed at Seoul, and it is the factor that is most likely to lead to the use of nuclear weapons.

    A nasty situation all around.

    I don’t think we’re actually going to invade NK. If you read StrategyPage, the author of one of the most recent entries on North Korea states that because some TV news networks have discussed the possibility of a U.S. attack on North Korea, the North Koreans (being a police state and all) take it as a signal that Washington is planning an invasion and is telegraphing its intentions.
