Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

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

The lights are all blinking red.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Republicans don’t trust women.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

You cannot shame the shameless.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

You just know that a parody of this post is going to appear on Huffington’s Toast or Huffington is Full of Crap:

There I was, as is my Sunday morning tradition, watching Meet the Press while doing yoga. (Or is it doing yoga while watching Meet the Press? Whatever.) Tim Russert was interviewing Howard Dean. At least, I

    What, for doing yoga? I can’t imagine anything more cutting than mocking someone for exercising.

    I actually think this is good. Well, assuming she doesn’t go on to do something really loonyleft style stupid, which I think she avoided (that’s hard these days when defending Dean). The whole latte liberal thing is best combatted by latte drinking liberal showing they’re not out-of-touch and as opposed to out-of-touch people refusing to drink lattes and do yoga.

    “Downward Facing Dog?”

    She must have found a new husband/figurehead/empty suit to replace the old one–I hear the cojones-removing procedure is almost painless these days.

    “Why were you doing YOGA thats for the new age eco-freaks of the deprived 70s and MEET THE PRESS its the usial left-wing propeganda”

    Classic. Just classic. You need to turn that one into a bumper sticker, John.

    I assume wild bird meant:

    “Why was she [Ms. Huffington] doing YOGA? That’s for the new age eco-freaks of the depraved 70s and [those who watch] Meet the Press. It’s the usual left-wing propaganda.”

    Now that we have that straight, it’s easy to see the clear logic of your statement, wild bird.

    Here’s an idea, why won’t devine Yogi’s and their cult of devine followers send themselves into Darfur, Sudan and ohm the way into preventing the Arab Moslim government from its constant slaughter of black Muslims.

    This way they can practice what they preach instead of simply taking themselves out as they condemn soldiers who actually take the effort and have the guts to stop tyrannical regimes.

    “Downward-facing dog” was the name of the yoga position that Will Ferrell, in an SNL sketch a few years ago (host: Toby Maguire), spent three years learning so that he could have oral sex with himself (during a full yoga class, of course).

    After years of suggesting that Arianna should go have sex with herself (or words to that effect), I’m glad to see she’s finally taking the initiative.

    Yes, syn, way to stick it to those yogis, who are riding a bit too high on their horses these days. Next target for your withering satire: Spiro Agnew.

    SYN:
    Nice points. For some people its more fun to attack the US than to point out the realities of what America accomplishes. It distrubs them while they read Andrew Sullivan and the Kos Kids.
