Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Let’s finish the job.

This fight is for everything.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Bark louder, little dog.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

You cannot shame the shameless.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

I really should read my own blog.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

How do you get conservative NY politicians to rush to the defense of public housing denizens? Easy:

Thousands of New Yorkers living in public housing could soon be banned from smoking in their apartments.
Brooklyn Democratic Assemblyman Felix Ortiz said his legislation would immediately require public housing complexes to make 50 percent of their apartments smoke-free.

By 2010, smoking in the projects would be outlawed completely, Ortiz said.

    I hate Illinois Nazis, but I’m beginning to think the NYC Gau is worse.

    Cordially…

    Busybodies on the left are almost as bad as the religous busybodies on the right. Judging someone because they smoke in the privacy of their home is no different than judging someone because of what they may do sexually with another consenting adult. I’m ready for the MYOFB (Mind your own F—ing Business) political party.

    Ortiz is a moron and a hack. I’m spared the embarassment of being represented by him, but Jeebus, this dope feeds every caricature of liberals known to man.

    As a semi-regular on the Balloon-Juice message boards, and a New Yorker (from Queens), I want to make clear that I have no idea who this guy is and, to the best of my knowledge, am in no way related to him. Thank you. That is all.
