Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Let there be snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

In my day, never was longer.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Shooting up the GOP

By now you have heard about this:

A shot apparently was fired at the Republican Party headquarters in downtown Huntington while President Bush’s speech accepting the GOP nomination for president was being televised.
No one was hurt in the 10:30 p.m. Thursday incident.

“We heard a pop. We realized it was a gunshot and we were kind of scared,” said Gayle Adkins, a volunteer of Huntington.

Others said they didn’t see anything except for some of the banners jumping as the bullet whizzed over their heads. Police could not locate where the bullet landed.

From this we can learn one of two things:

1.) The bullet was a message, and no one intended to shoot anyone.

-or-

2.) The shooter was from out of state.

West Virgnian’s do not miss what they are aiming at.
