Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

Come on, man.

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

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

“They all knew.”

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

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

75% of people clapping liked the show!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

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

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

I don’t know if you have been reading Red State, a right leaning collaboration for which I am an editor and a frequent contributor, but you really should check the site out.

If you want to know why Iam proud to be a member of the staff, go read this piece on the Kerry speech by Tacitus, one of the founders.

    Wow, RedState didn’t like Kerry’s speech. Shocking. Here’s a guess: Democratic Underground won’t like Bush’s acceptance speech.

    Oliver,
    The difference is that the analysis on RedState is analytical and there is quite a bit of objectivity. DU is the depths of partisanship. I’m assuming you’re being facetious, and not claiming some sort of equivalency there.

    Oliver, DU? oh yes, that’s your blog. Oh well, to each their own.

    Patrick, Olie knows that. He is just trying to be funny. College freshman, they get liquer-ed up and everything is a hoot. Anyway he and his bud Duncan will have their hands full with the commercial version of DU. What was it called? hmmm.. Yes, Media doesn’t Matter. that’s it.
