Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Cole is on a roll !

In my day, never was longer.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

A consequence of cucumbers

Let there be snark.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

This blog will pay for itself.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

John Hawkins surveyed Right Wing Bloggers tyo find out who their favorite editorialist/opinion writers were, and the results can be found here.

For the record, my top three were:

1.) Mark Steyn
2.) David Warren
3.) Christopher Hitchens

    The funny thing is Steyn is virtually unknown to non-blogging Americans. Indeed, I’d never heard of him 8 months ago.

    Christopher Hitchens is “right-wing”? Interesting. I wasn’t aware that being a socialist was “right-wing.” When did this change happen, exactly?

    If support for prosecuting Henry Kissinger as a war criminal is now “right-wing,” who are those folks who disagree?

    I’m a tad puzzled here.

    It’s almost as if you’re saying that people can’t be as sensible as Hitchens, and, you know, left-wing.

    But that couldn’t be it. It must be that socialism is now right-wing.

    I guess.

    Gary- I listed my favorite opinion writers, regardless of their political affiliation. Unless I misunderstood the survey- it was the BLOGGERS making the selection who were all right-wing.

    Put that down to my reading too hastily; my apologies for getting that wrong.
