Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

No one could have predicted…

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

I was promised a recession.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Second rate reporter says what?

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

“Squeaker” McCarthy

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

    Really? What did he say? The job’s webblocking software doesn’t like Matthew this week.

    Moe,
    Last line in the post:
    “Seriously, though. Lending the money to Iraq: bad idea. Minor kudos to the Bush team for resisting it so far.”

    Broken clock, twice a day . . . yada yada yada

    Actually, Matt’s the only lefty blogger that regularly makes sense to me, especially since Calpundit turned into Atrios Lite exacerbated by a terminal case of InstaEnvy.

    Rove used his awesome powers of mind-control and made Matt do it.

    I haven’t gone to Y’s entry, and don’t really intend to (the campus library is closing soon; it’s nearly midnight), but it shouldn’t be surprising to witness liberals praising the Bush administration’s policies. As has been stated by many conservatives, libertarian, and some liberals as well, many of this administration’s policies have actually been more liberal than those of the last one.

    As a few of us were discussing at last night’s College Republicans meeting, the place where Bush is losing support is on the Right. When you alienate your base, you seriously jeopardize your chances of keeping your seat.

    The first President Bush found that out. I don’t know if this will happen, but some have speculated that the current President Bush may find this out too.

    Could you please at least read a given statement before you proclaim that it fits into your absurd biases?

    Jeebus indeed.
