Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Go Senator Whitehouse!

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Ah, the different things are different argument.

T R E 4 5 O N

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

There are no moderate Republican – only extremists, and cowards.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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…
