Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

This really is a full service blog.

We still have time to mess this up!

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

This fight is for everything.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

The willow is too close to the house.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Gee- almost the entire staff of Slate is voting for Kerry. Who would have guessed?

Now, if I could just figure out who the staff writers for the Village Voice, the Nation, the American Prospect, the Media Matters Staff, George Soros, and Theresa Heinz-Kerry intend to vote for, and I might be able to make up my mind.

I mean really- how ever am I supposed to figure out who David Brock, Atrios, and Oliver Willis are going to vote for?

    One word, John: Hitch. That’s just too damn funny. Look’s to me like the Limeys don’t believe in the Bogeyman, and know a Bonehead when they see him. Hey, maybe you could blame it on Hitchens’ drinking. Surely, the conservative base fantasizes about a return to Prohibition. Maybe a future intention along these lines was revealed to Hitch recently, and like Sully, was enough to make him cross over from the right side of history.

    I am not sure why his vote surprises you? I never expected him to vote for Bush.

    I see your point, John. Hitch is a contrarian, but he’s our contrarian, so there’s no real surprise that he’d come home.

    Still, he was apparently touting Bush in the Nation but a few days ago. What a schlosh, huh?
