Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

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

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

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

“Squeaker” McCarthy

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

John Hawkins has his 2003 Warblogger Awards up, and once again, it was a clean sweep for Balloon Juice.

Nothing.

Zip.

Nada.

Zilch.

I did get five votes for Best Overall Blog, tying me for 14th place, so I would like to thank mom, dad, and my brother and sisters for those votes (*** Update *** This was just a joke- or supposed to be I really appreciate the fat that that many people voted for me, and I am actually quite surprised).

In other end of the year award news, Little Green Footballs is accepting nominations for the 2003 Fiskie:

    You tied for 14th in the most important category. That’s actually pretty impressive…

    I was just kidding- I really appreciate all those who voted for me.

    If it’s any consolation John, you’re number 9 on my daily, must-read list, edged out by (in order): Calpundit, TPM, Kos, RealClearPolitics, Sullivan, TAPPED, Atrios, and Reynolds.

    Pretty good company, really.

    Don’t often agree with you, but that’s the point.

    Cheers.

    John, you are in very good company on that list. Congratulations.

    Wll, James. IN my humble opinion, you should have Matt stinson and Dean Esmay on that list, too. All of you should.

    Remove Kos and Tapped, insert those two, and you have my list of first reads.

    I’ll add ’em to the (ever-expanding, watch out for the boss) list.
    Cheers again.

    John, according to the title of the page, that’s a WARblogger award, not WEBlogger. (Although there were two left-of-center categories.)

    Andrew- I corrected it. I never really thought of myself as a warbogger, though.

    Yeah, but Warblogger Watch did.

    What’s going to happen now, is you’ll get an increase in exceedingly verbose (yet curiously fact-deficient) posts from Philip Shropshire. Now that you’re back in the limelight, I mean.
