Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

White supremacy is terrorism.

This really is a full service blog.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

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

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.
