Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

He really is that stupid.

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

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Second rate reporter says what?

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

People are complicated. Love is not.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

This blog will pay for itself.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

I confess. I don’t know what the hell he meant, either.

    the quote is:

    “We’ve got an issue in America. Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB-GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across this country.”

    Well, a doctor’s “love” is practicing medicine, and an OB-GYN ain’t gonna practice it on a man. Oddy worded, yes, but it still makes more sense than Kerry’s Iraq policy (what is his position today?).

    I think this is in reference to the huge number of doctors who don’t go into or get out of OBGYN, particularly in rural America due to high malpractice costs.

    Think, how did Edwards make his millions?

    Go watch the clips on Olivers site. I about cried, its so hilarious. Personally, I find Bushs verbal gaffes to be endearing, giving him that common touch. But… damn, that was hilarious.

    George W. is to grammar and diction what JFKerry is to military service.

    He meant “glove” but got confused.

    As someone who speaks fluent Bush I knew exactly what he was saying. I’m pretty sure Oliver and company knew also but had much more fun pretending they didn’t.

    Those among us who haven’t experienced such tongue blunders cast the first stone.

    “He meant “glove” but got confused.”

    Naah, he meant glave, or to gamble. Must’ve been betting or something… :)

    George W. is to grammar and diction what JFKerry is to military service.

    “he” would have worked better than “JFKerry” in the sentence above.

    Here’s an example of the political astuteness of Bush. He knows he’s prone to malapropisms – so what does he do? He JOKES about it. Self-deprecating and all that jazz. So when Dems go crazy over statements like the above, it is POINTLESS. Bush has innoculated himself on this point and any whining about comes off as humourless.

    Dorian and GR are right – this is a Bush flaw that makes him more likable.

    Indeed, dyslexia and spoonerisms have no relationship to general intelligence.

    I have in mind a little Virginian mamma’s-boy who couldn’t read a word until he was 12…

    he was a lil ole Georgie too
