Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

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

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

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

He really is that stupid.

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

The words do not have to be perfect.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Irresponsible Rhetoric

There has been so much bullshit surrounding the judicial nominees that I don’t know where to even rank this doozy, but it is up there:

The deal was a defeat for Bush, who on Monday had again demanded straight up or down votes on all his nominees. It also was a blow to religious conservatives, who have advocated for more socially conservative judges and who put considerable pressure on Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., and Senate Republicans to change the filibuster rule. The Christian conservative Family Research Council had e-mailed supporters asking them to “pray that no compromise will be allowed which will let this unprecedented use of the filibuster remain.”

Apparently, God likes the filibuster. Or maybe he is just tired of a few shills taking his name in vain for purely political reasons.

    I spoke to God on my celphone only today, and He said that he voted Democratic. He also said that he has HBO up there just so He can watch Bill Maher.

    You have it wrong, according to my reading, the quote from the Christian conservative Research Council is asking god to defeat the compromise. So it’s incorrest to say “Apparently, God likes the filibuster”. They meant the exact opposite.

    You have to be careful of people who speak to God directly. Apparently its only okay if groups like MoveOn and the American way lobby. Hmm unusual definition of democracy.
