Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

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

Let there be snark.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

NY Times Piece

I guess everyone has their knickers in a twist about this NY Times piece.

I am not sure why libs and conservatives are so mad, as all I got out of it was confirmation of my opinion of Wonkette, which is that she is the Anna Kournikova of blogging. Other than a pretty face, there ain’t much there.

BTW- since when did LGF become a ‘conservative’ blog? None of his viewpoints are conservative, unless you define conservative as ‘anything I don’t like.’

    When did LGF become a ‘conservative’ blog? When the war Charles Johnson supports became redefined in the minds of the left [OK, not all of ’em, but too many] as Bush’s war. That support is the only viewpoint he needed.

    How would you describe it then?

    JC, the article purports to be a look at the political blogosphere, then covers only one side. Marshall, Cox or Zuniga may not all come off looking like the coolest people in the world, but at least they’re treated like real people — more than you can say for the “platoon of right wing” nutters who took on CBS … and only rated a single mention.

    Jane,
    How would I describe LGF? Not as conservative. Just as anti-terrorist. A lot of the commentors are conservative but the host is not.
    If you think pro-war is equal to conservative, I suggest you Google “Christopher Hitchens” or read Harry’s Place.

    What JPS said: when LGF decided that it was better to fight back then endlessly debate.

    I don’t think “pro-war” is equal to “conservative” at all. I do know, however, that whenever I’ve looked at CJ’s blog, I never saw a thing that would suggest that he was anything but conservative.

    Wonkette should wish to be the Kournikova of blogging.

    Kournikova, after all, at least made it to Wimbledon.

    She was, at her best, a Very, Very Good tennis player… just not in the rarified Very Best In The World club.

    Methinks “the Paris Hilton” of blogging is more appropriate.
