Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

No Justins, No Peace

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

People are complicated. Love is not.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

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

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Fond Adieu’s

Matt Welch is too nice to Gray Davis, and Radley Balko is too nice to Fritz Holling. A hearty boot in the ass to both of them.

    I’m assuming you’re being tongue in cheek here, John, since I’m not sure what Matt could have done to be more harsh to ol’ Monochrome without having him offically designated as a demon so we could legally sic Buffy on his ass. . .

    As for the parade of dimwits urging an immediate recall-recall, a slight paraphrase of another actor/politician who topped out at mayor:

    “Go ahead–make our day.”
