Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Battle won, war still ongoing.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Come on, man.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Campaign Nicknames?

A reader suggests that the only thing Edwards brings to the Kerry campaign is big money trial lawyer connections, and thus wonders if the Kerry/Edwards ticket should be called the “Cash and Kerry” ticket.

Henry Hanks thinks this ticket should be called the “September 10th ticket.”

I prefer to call the “Tax and Sue in 2004.

Please list your entries below.

    Though not original to me, I liked…

    “The Outhouse campaign”- Two Johns, both full of sh!t. :o)

    Well, since you asked. . .:-)

    Given Kerry’s failed, borderline pathetic pursuit of Senator McCain to be his running mate, his not-so-subtle efforts to associate himself with another JFK from MA, and the inevitable involvement of the Hollywood left in this campaign, the nickname for the newly minted Democratic presidential slate is obvious:

    “Ticket of the Lesser Johns.”

    “Horseface and Pretty Boy” comes to mind, though I really like “Waffles and Grits” as suggested by DANEgerus.

    I believe I heard Laura Ingraham (talk radio) call them “Flip Flop and Mop Top”.

    I really like Henry’s the best: “The Sept. 10th ticket”.

    Actually, cash-and-carry is a long spot combined with a short futures position. I sense some irony there but haven’t time to flesh it out just now.
