Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

The lights are all blinking red.

In my day, never was longer.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

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

I really should read my own blog.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

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

    Hmm. Can I take what’s behind door #3 instead?

    As I can’t access the WSJ article, I’d have to use the story from California about the state’s largest charter school collapsing as a potential tie-breaker. Also the fact that the data was released, but not publicized, many months ago.

    It’s not just the WSJ attacking the NYT, but several other major news sources. Oh, and never trust the guy who is selling you on an idea when they have a vested interest in the outcome. The NYT wants to punish Bush because he represents a challenge to their “vision” of the world, facts not withstanding.

    Be thankful that bad charter schools can fold.
    They won’t let the horrible public schools fold. Schools that are ruining the lives of millions of children are protected by teacher’s unions and democrat politicians.
