Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

It’s a doggy dog world.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

    Because it's Saturday, I've decided to let others do my work for me -- which leaves me free to eat lots of chips and maybe watch a baseball game

    1. Craig C sends along several links, all of them worth checking out. First, Tim Blair investigates a few nascent conspiracy theories springing up around the London bombings and in the process, develops one of his own. Also by way of Tim Blair, Andr…
