Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

A consequence of cucumbers

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

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

You cannot shame the shameless.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

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

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

So many bastards, so little time.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Interesting op-ed piece in the WaPo on the Pakistani connection to the London bombings.

    That Musharraf has not acted against religious extremists and their madrasas is hardly surprising. He needs the religious parties to bolster his military dictatorship against the democratic forces seeking to reverse his 1999 coup.

    Very one-sided; but it is an op-ed. I tend to agree slightly with their points but the above statement is ludicrous. As if Dubya would continue to support Dobson’s fanatics if they attempted to assassinate him.

    Thank you, db. You would be surprised by the percentage of newspaper readers who do not know that simple fact.

    And don’t forget the Saudi (and other oil-rich Arab states) money that funds those madrassas.

    Afghanistan was a good start, but Pakistan and Saudi Arabia should’ve been on the short list.
