Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Consistently wrong since 2002

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Everybody saw this coming.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Interesting study being done by Richard Chapelle, which I found via Majikthise. Basically, he is taking the IPIP-NEO-PI personality test (which is not the same as the Five Factor Model by Costa and McRae) and the Political Compass and asking people to post their results.

    Heh, morality in this case refers to being guarded and concerned about revealing the truth.

    At any rate, my scores are . . . ON MY BLOG!

    Here would be my results

    I’ve always been interested in what type of people think what, that type of thing. Actually considered psychology for awhile because of that, but I suck at reading people.

    Long overdue link

    I’ve been perusing this blog for the past few weeks. John Cole, the author, is a moderate conservative and I find his take on things refreshing.
