Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was promised a recession.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

T R E 4 5 O N

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

This really is a full service blog.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The Democrat frontrunner sounds alot like a Republican… again:

From Day One as a Democratic presidential candidate, Wesley K. Clark, the retired general, has had to defend his past praise of the president’s national security advisers

    This is the tragedy of nonprofessional candidates, methinks: the concept that everything – /everything/ – that they have ever said, wrote or even nodded approvingly at can and will be used against them is one that they never really *get* until it rises up and bites them on the ass.

    Bear in mind that Clark was specifically referring the the Afghanistan military campaign, which of course WAS a resounding success (as if anyone thought it would go otherwise. The aftermath remains a different story). He’s a career military man, so a certain amount of cheerleading is to be expected. He comes from a culture that respects military authority, regardless of party affiliation. As a candidate opposing the current C-in-C, he’s free to be more openly critical, which he certainly has been.

    While undoubtedly intended as a knock on Clark, I don’t see the information in this post as damning in the least.

    Clark’s not the frontrunner; he is currently in a solid second place, vying with Gephardt.
