Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Bark louder, little dog.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

No one could have predicted…

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Fight them, without becoming them!

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

When Will They Learn?

Every year, during the SOTU address, the cameras zoom in on some member of the opposition party who looks like they are about to explode with rage. Last year, it was Hillary. This year, it was Teddy Kennedy. In years past, Republicans have done the same damn thing when Clinton was speaking, so don’t think this is some sort of partisan pot-shot. Don’t these people realize how awful this looks on camera?

BTW- Vodkapundit is SOTU-blogging live.

    I call your one second after the SOTU and point this out (I know, I know–no one needed it pointed out) and can’t even get a blurb on the site? What’s up with that?

    Umm. Check what time I wrote this, what time the SOTU address was, when you called, and get back to me, hero.

    I am humbled. I should’ve kept my politically handicapped, feeble minded thoughts to myself.

    As I watched Bush deliver his State of the Union Address, I couldn’t help but notice how agitated Ted Kennedy was as he sat there listening to it.&nbsp He kept shaking his head back and forth, looking like he could…
