Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

No Justins, No Peace

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

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

People are weird.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Let’s finish the job.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

In after Baud. Damn.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

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

Great photo montage of all the troops from around the world who are serving in Iraq.

The photo of American troops includes a guy wearing the Blackhorse patch. Allons!

    John,

    I would suggest this link for a more accurate picture of the coalition. Note:

    In the future this is it:

    Albania ~120[April 2005]
    Czech Republic 10
    Australia ~1,400 (+450)
    United Kingdom ~10,500 (?
    )

    Countries which had troops in or supported operations in Iraq at one point but have pulled out since: Nicaragua (Feb. 2004); Spain (late-Apr. 2004); Dominican Republic (early-May 2004); Honduras (late-May 2004); Philippines (~Jul. 19, 2004); Thailand (late-Aug. 2004); New Zealand (late Sep. 2004); Tonga (mid-Dec. 2004) Hungary (end Dec. 2004); Portugal (mid-Feb. 2005); Moldova (Feb. 2005)

    Countries planning to withdraw from Iraq: Poland (starting Jan.05 and completed by end.05(?)); the Netherlands (Mar. 05); Bulgaria (end of 2005, depending on circumstances); Ukraine (entire contingent, in stages until mid-October 2005), Italy (Sept. 2005)

    Countries which have reduced or are planning to reduce their troop commitment: Ukraine (-200 during Fall04 rotation); Moldova (reduced contingent to 12 around mid-2004); Norway (reduced from ~150 to 10 late-Jun.04, early Jul.04); Bulgaria (-50, Dec.04); Poland (-700, Feb.05).

    Sure wish that departed, eBay-bought Coalition of the Bribed would move into Germany and Kosovo to relieve our forces of the onerous, quagmire of occupation that they’ve endured for somewhere between 7 and 60 years.

    Maybe they could do the nation-building right.

    Cordially…

    No kidding, although you’ve got to keep an eye on Europe. Centuries of war in their blood, you know.
