Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

T R E 4 5 O N

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

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

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Here We Go Again

It has been about a month, so it is time for another Democrat blogger to take another stab at the “Really we are moderates but Bush is so extreme that we just sound like hostile lunatics.” This time, it is Ezra’s turn:

The problem is, moderate no longer relies on your politics, it rests on your tone. Despite my policy credentials, John Cole recently termed me “the first violin of the I-hate-Bush orchestra”, a banner rarely affixed to the ideologically androgynous. Politics now is more a team sport than a contest of ideas. Whether or not we like what our manager is doing, the very fact that he’s on our team makes him saintly in comparison to the demon-idiots across the field. So atrocious, and so strangely heedless, are the Bush Administration’s actions that our denunciations of them are far louder than our politics would predict, rivaling those of the far-left for ferocity and frequency.

And the band played on…
