Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

So very ready.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Fight them, without becoming them!

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Unbelievable

Really, this isn’t all about religion:

A man was arrested after trying to steal a weapon from a gun shop so he could “take some action and rescue Terri Schiavo,” authorities said.

Michael W. Mitchell, of Rockford, Ill., entered Randall’s Firearms Inc. in Seminole just before 6 p.m. Thursday with a box cutter and tried to steal a gun, said Marianne Pasha, a spokeswoman for the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.

Mitchell, 50, told deputies he wanted to “take some action and rescue Terri Schiavo” after he visited the Pinellas Park hospice where she lives, Pasha said.

The feeding tube that has kept Schiavo alive for more than a decade was removed March 18 over objections from her parents. Schiavo’s husband has said his wife would not want to be kept alive artificially.

Doctors have said she would probably die within a week or two of the tube being pulled.

Randy McKenzie, the owner of Randall’s Firearms, said Mitchell pulled out the box cutter and broke the glass on a couple of display cases.

“He told me if I wasn’t on Terri’s side then I wasn’t on God’s side, either,” McKenzie told The Associated Press.

    That’s right John. Every loon out there telling us that God told them or its not God’s will, etc. represents the entire Christian population.

    Thanks for the generalization bub. What next, all white men of european descent are racists?

    Goodness. Talk about hypersensitive.

    The fact of the matter is, a lot of unhinged people like this have been whipped into a frenzy by the hucksters in Congress and the pimps like Randall Terry, and all I am doing is pointing out that this is not about Terri Schiavo, but religion.

    I am no more claiming this man represents all Christianity than I am suggesting all white people are racist, as you suggest.

    Calm down.

    Ralph Nader has joined the chorus pleading to save Terri Schiavo.

    Just another loony Jesus freak.

    I guess the guy had decided that there’s more life in Terri Schiavo than in the cops he was going to try to kill to get her out of there, huh? Or maybe that their lives were forfeit because they didn’t heed God’s word.

    John, do you understand that people might object to refusing a dying woman water regardless of their religous beliefs? If not I put you in this crowd:

    Try not to paint with too wide a brush.

    The media is as much responsible as Congress. They’ve played along when they could easily have explained the reality behind her condition, the circumstances, and the law. They haven’t even properly reported that a huge majority of Americans side with Michael Schiavo–and what that means as to where the congressional leadership stands in relation to them.

    Somewhere the next Tim McVeigh is weeping “for Terri” and plotting revenge. And when it happens the media will act surprised.

    Yes, we need to force a woman to live against her will because she didn’t write it down.

    John, do you understand that people might object to refusing a dying woman water regardless of their religous beliefs?

    Of course, and I have stated so repeatedly. I think a guy, who while trying to steal a gun to rescue Terri stated that if you aren’t in favor of rescuing Terri you are working against God, however, does qualify as a religiously motivated lunatic.

    Quit trying to make me at as some anti-religious crusader. It is just more of the sophistry that let us get into this condition.

    “how is this guy any different than an Al Qaeda suicide bomber?”?
    I know you were trying to make a point, but, jeez… bad analogy. I’ve only got 5 hrs. left in my wordday to respond. First and foremost, intentions. Did he want to kill the masses to expound his religion or use the gun to access ms. schiavo? (and why am i arguing this inane point?)
