Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Not all heroes wear capes.

“woke” is the new caravan.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

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

Come on, man.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The words do not have to be perfect.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Outsourcing

This is certainly timely- the multimedia arm of the Democratic National Committee, otherwise known as CBS, apparently has run out of Bush-bashing books and will instead have to re-air this piece on outsourcing:

For decades, American manufacturers of everything from blue jeans to semiconductors have searched the world for the cheapest labor they could find.

It may have cost hundreds of thousands of American jobs, but it’s made American products more affordable. Now, some of the most familiar companies -ones we deal with every day – are moving a whole new class of jobs overseas.

They call it outsourcing. Not the old economy assembly line jobs, but jobs in the new economy — anything that involves a computer or a telephone.

Gee- just in time to support the false messages put forward during the convention. I am sure it is just a coincidence.

    “The CBS Evening News with Mujipur Sandip” should save the network at least $10 million a year. After all, you can broadcast via satellite from anywhere in the world.

    It would be better than the current crew of poli-whores and Andy Rooney they currently have

    Hey, you think Andy Rooney is not a poli-whore?

    Are you suggesting that it’s not a real issue? You might feel differently if you lost your job due to outsourcing.

    Another Dreamer-

    Blacksmiths were pretty pissed about the invention of the Model T, too.

    We are becoming victims of our own prosperity. This
