Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The revolution will be supervised.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The willow is too close to the house.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

I hope to hell they nominate this guy:

With a wary eye on Gen. Wesley K. Clark’s rise in national and New Hampshire polls, Howard Dean’s campaign has begun to limit his availability to the press, and the candidate himself is watching his words after several recent statements unleashed a storm of criticism from opponents.

Dr. Dean, who has spent two years campaigning as the candidate willing to say what he thinks, initially told reporters that he would be “happy” to discuss his tax policy. Then, as aides glared at him, he immediately said a senior adviser had “veto power” over what he would say.

“I’m not allowed to say I’m happy to do anything anymore,” he added.

Later in the day, the campaign released a statement saying Dr. Dean had long intended to propose “additional tax reforms.”

His new reticence came as a CNN/USA Today poll published Wednesday showed a slide in Dr. Dean’s support among Democrats nationally, with his lead over General Clark shrinking to four points
