Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are weird.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

The willow is too close to the house.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

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

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

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

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

“But what about the lurkers?”

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

More Idiocy

by John Cole|  January 6, 200512:31 pm| 11 Comments

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

FacebookTweetEmail

The Democrat Strategy to make Democrats appear attractive to mainstream voters marches forward with another keen approach at attracting voters. The new strategy?

Bitching about how much money Bush has personally donated to the Tsunami relief effort.

I’m serious- click the link. They have lost their minds with Bush hate.

    Why is Oliver bitching about Bush worse than you bitching about Oliver?

    Are you an idiot? Are you really incapable of figuring this out, or are you just trying to waste my time.

    Okay, I can see that this isn’t the right place for an argument. This must be abuse.

    Daryl- YOu see no difference between someone chastising the President because he gave too little to charity, and someone telling that person he is off kilter? No distinction whatsoever?

    John,

    Thanks for the more civil tone.

    Well, Oliver’s post seemed like petty sniping, and so did yours. I don’t see the big difference, except that Oliver was sniping at somebody newsworthy, while you were sniping at some blogger.

    Evidently, John, Daryl does not understand the difference. Evidently sniping is OK, sniping at sniping not. I guess.

    Evidently sniping is OK, sniping at sniping not. I guess.

    How should we categorize Daryl’s sniping about sniping about sniping …

    Oliver ought to stick to posting bikini photos until he can get the taste of bile out of his mouth for supporting the loser last November, though the antics of his party might delay the process.

    This is the first I’d heard of this; I don’t really read Willis.

    These sorts of pissing matches are silly — I’m a grad student, so I don’t have a lot to give. When I have a salary again, I’ll resume my previously reasonably high level of generousity.

    The only parameter by which it would be valid to evaluate Bush’s personal donation (of money that is, assuming that time devoted to the situation doesn’t count) would be by comparison with the amount of money donated by the aptly named Tides Foundation.
