Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No Justins, No Peace

American History and Black History can not be separated.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

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

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

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

Wishful Thinking

Here. Can we at least agree that second term Presidents can’t be lame ducks until after the mid-term election?

Silly.

    If it quacks like a duck…..

    Actually, I don’t know enough about what a ‘lame duck’ President is to argue either way.

    I just thought I’d be funny. :)

    I doubt that he is a lame duck president already but one can dream right? I wish he was. Heh.

    It is interesting how one of the most important questions last night has been completely ignored by the MSM; however it comes as no surprise.

    Bush’s response to the question of sending detanies to other countries to be tortured was utterly disgraceful. In his answer he condoned torture in a round about way. He didn’t directly say it, but he clearly implied it.

    By the accepted definition of “lame duck,” every second-term president is one from the moment he wins the second election. Of course, with Bush you have to say ‘… from the moment he “wins” the (second) election.’

    Bush would have been a lame duck early on in his first term if Osama Bin Laden had not come to his rescue by blowing up the World Trade Center, which caused the country to rally around the President, an effect that Bush ruthlessly exploited to push his right wing agenda.
