Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

It’s a doggy dog world.

Republicans don’t trust women.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

No one could have predicted…

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

I was promised a recession.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

The Daily Dish

It appears that Andrew Sullivan is taking a break from blogging, so a major source of my material will soon dry up. Woe is moe.

But then again, maybe he isn’t leaving. Even his farewell post is riddled with the same lack of clarity we have grown to know and love:

After much hemming and hawing, I’ve decided to put the blog as you’ve known it on hiatus for a few months. The Dish will still exist, the site will be updated weekly with new feature articles, and I’ll still post when I feel like it. But it won’t have the regularity or content of the past four and a half years…

Besides, this is my fifth year of daily blogging – I was doing this when Clinton was president and Osama bin Laden was largely unknown – and I’ve always thought it’s a good idea to quit something after around five years or so…

And getting through the US and Iraq elections seems to me as fair a time to take a leave as any. So I’m going to turn this into a far more occasional operation for a while. I’ll keep posting when the feeling grabs me; but I’m no longer going to promise the kind of daily attention to the news that I have practised so far. I hope that after, say, nine months, I’ll return to blogging full-steam with perhaps a new direction or approach to refresh the material. A little distance from the blogosphere might be helpful in that as well.

So he is quitting, except for when it tickles his fancy, and then he will blog, but check back for new material and a site re-design, and he is not really quitting and will be back in nine months.

I, for one, am going to miss him.

    Too bad he left without telling us his stance on gay marriage.

    Andrew Sullivan on Break

    Having been distracted with other matters today, I’m just learning that Andrew Sullivan is taking a long break from blogging:
