Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

This really is a full service blog.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

No one could have predicted…

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

“woke” is the new caravan.

The revolution will be supervised.

Let there be snark.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

That Is Better

Credit where credit is due- this statement from the FRC is a touch more appropriate than Dobson’s declaration yesterday:

Family Research Council thanks Justice O’Connor, the first woman on the United States Supreme Court, for her nearly twenty-four years of public service.

“The Family Research Council often found itself on the opposite side of her most controversial decisions,” said Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council.

“This past week Justice O’Connor sided with judicial activists and ruled against the display of the Ten Commandments on public property in two cases before the high court that have offended the values of a great segment of the American public.

A slight improvement.

    From the FRC press release linked above:

    FRC can motivate significant grassroots support for the President’s nominees. We will wage an unprecedented effort for a fair and prompt up or down vote through the mobilization of 20,000 churches across the nation, weekly conference calls in targeted states, the strengthening of the FRC team and activation of grassroots through http://www.frc.org “

    Can we be assured that the 20,000 churches mobilized for political action will voluntarily give up their tax exempt status to indulge in politics? Following the letter of the law without deviation (strict constructionist) is what they want demand from judges so I assume they will live up to their own standards.

    Those Dobsonites can’t get anything right, can they?

    Justice O’Connor’s “public service” record is a lot longer than 24 years; her service did not begin with a Supreme Court appointment. Arizonans, like me, remember her as the first Majority Leader in the Arizona State Legislature. Her very admirable record as lawmaker and judge would be worthy of note even without the appointment to the highest court in the land.

    Dobson is an ass.
