Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Let there be snark.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

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

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Kerry and Edwards are not gay, and if they were, who cares.

Idiot homophobes.

*** Update ***

The Instapundit links to two flash videos that demonstrate how stupid this whole Kerry/Edwards touching thing is.

    I think you’re over-reacting John. I’m certain the CJR is, for printing that buffoonish column.

    Politics is a contact sport, but that don’t mean constant touching. So jokes get made; no one is hurt.

    Cordially…

    there will be, no doubt about it, Bush voters galvanized by this line of attack. Rove + pals probably know exactly how many. They’ll be giving every prejudice a little drop of fertilizer in the coming months. Just enough so that the homophobes know who to vote for and turn out on the day. Moonies! They sure know.

    On the one hand, I agree that John and John are not gay. Obviously any insinuations to the contrary are ridiculous, and criticisms based on such insinuations nothing but frosting.

    On the other hand, except to the extent that people actually believe their incessant touching is a strike against them (as in the Washington Times article), making fun of politicians is older than time, and shouldn’t be criticized as such. “Bush is dumb!” is cheap mockery, but if you like cheap mockery, more power to you. I don’t read humorous posts on blogs (for example) and assume that the humor directly translates into a legitimate policy reason to vote to or for anyone, but I certainly enjoy laughing at the humorous blogs.
