Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

In my day, never was longer.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

We still have time to mess this up!

No one could have predicted…

I really should read my own blog.

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Power Plant Ruling

It will be interesting to see the fall out from this ruling.

Seems like it provides incentives for companies to make modest improvements in environmental trechnology without forcing them to choose between keeping the curreent oldplant or investing boatloads to create new plants. Likewise, it seems to have struck down the parts that the environmentalists felt were most egregious.

Am I distorting this?

    Though I haven’t looked into the decision much, it definitely does come across as a pretty strong compromise and something that environmentalists have a lot of cause to be happy about. Rocky Mountain News has this little rundown of some key changes:

    “Rules allowing facilities to look back 10 years instead of two years when setting a baseline against which future emissions increases are calculated.”

    That ruling I do not like at all. Allowing facilities to look back 10 years in the realm of technology is way too lenient. Think about how much technology changes in 10 years…
