Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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

We will not go back.

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

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The New Instapundit

Eric at Classical Values points us to this article in the Philadelphia Inquirer discussing the new Instapundit:

Glenn Simpson, a Tennessee law professor who runs the conservative Instapundit blog, wrote recently: “The Republicans’ weakness is that people worry that they’re the party of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. They tried, successfully, to convince people otherwise in the last election, but they’re now acting in ways that are giving those fears new life.”

To borrow a phrase, “Heh.”

And read Eric’s entire piece.

    Apparently the multiple layers of fact checkers at the Philadelphia Inquirer think Glenn Reynolds’ last name is Simpson.

    Or is that a joke to which I’m not privy?

    “…They tried, successfully, to convince people otherwise in the last election, but they’re now acting in ways that are giving those fears new life.”

    That’s a teleological argument, if I’m not mistaken; that the nature of a thing is found in its end result. Thus the premise that the GOP won the elections works backward to the conclusion that “people” were convinced.

    Gee, that means that the “premise” that the GOP LOST the elections would work backward to the conclusion that “people” were NOT convinced. I think I get it now.

    I’m not privy to the Inky’s inside jokes, so I don’t know what’s up with the Simpson business.

    The “T” word leads to mistakes . . .

    The debate over theocracy is heating up — and not just in the blogosphere. It’s reached the point where the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Dick Polman now puts it on the front page of the Sunday paper, in a column titled “Right…
