Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Second rate reporter says what?

Consistently wrong since 2002

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

No one could have predicted…

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

This really is a full service blog.

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

    Violent crime has always been a local problem, not federal. Problem is so many congresspeople are products of local politics. They are also mental midgets and hard-core panderers by nature. When they get to Washington and find out that the real federal issues are complicated and that solutions require real leadership, they blanche. Still they have to do something to pass the time. Hence federal crime legislation. What really galls me is that these douche-bags are going to posture as tough. Tough for what? Taking on that organized pro-criminal lobby?
