Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

I was promised a recession.

After roe, women are no longer free.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

People are complicated. Love is not.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

The Leader of the Pack

This is hysterical:

It may come as a surprise to some of his supporters, but Democratic Presidential candidate Wesley K. Clark still hasn’t joined the Democratic Party. According to the Pulaski County (Ark.) Voter Registrar’s office, the former four-star general remains a registered independent. Even though he has been a declared candidate for the Dem nomination for two weeks now, he has yet to officially change his party affiliation.

A Clark campaign spokesman at first told BusinessWeek that the former general had in fact updated his voter registration to reflect his newfound status as a Democrat. But a call to the Pulaski County Voter Registrar indicated otherwise. When asked to explain the discrepancy, campaign consultant Mark Fabiani says Clark hadn’t yet had time to register as a Democrat.

Nine lifelong Democrats are trailing in the polls for the Democrat nomination to a registered independent. Snicker. All together, now:

“I am the very model of a modern major general…”

    Ol’ Wesley is looking less like Ike and more like Admiral Stockdale (minus the sincerity and aura of tragedy) every day:

    “Who am I? What am I doing here?”
