Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

A consequence of cucumbers

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

We still have time to mess this up!

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

Must Not See TV

Looks like DeLay will be the high-ranking GOP official who will step up to the camera for ‘Just Us’ Sunday II:

Stepping into the debate over the Supreme Court nomination of Judge John G. Roberts Jr., Representative Tom DeLay, the majority leader, has agreed to appear in a telecast called “Justice Sunday II” to rally conservative Christian support for remaking the court.

Mr. DeLay’s planned appearance adds the imprimatur of a top Republican elected official to the event, which seeks to call attention to what its organizers say is the Supreme Court’s hostility to Christianity and traditional families in its decisions about abortion, homosexuality and government support for religion. It will be broadcast to churches and Christian television stations and distributed as a video.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council and the principal organizer, called Mr. DeLay, of Texas, “a natural fit” with the program. “He has been very outspoken on the need for addressing the issue of judicial activism,” Mr. Perkins said.

You got to give DeLay credit- he doesn’t back down from any controversy.

    He also runs the House like the Senate should be run by the majority party. Dems hate him because he is so effective, and his ethics problems caused the microscope to be turned right back onto the Democrats. Turns out lots of Dems were doing the same thing Delay was doing, including Nancy Pelosi. Dalay is not going anywhere, the base love this guy.

    Exactly, Stormy. DeLay hasn’t done anything that other people in the House aren’t doing. For that matter, I don’t think Abramoff or Reed really did anything wrong either. Politics is a dirty game, but you’ve got to play it to get things done. All DeLay is guilty of is being good at playing the game.

    In a more just world, DeLay — not First — would be getting talked up as a presidential candidate.

    I think this should be broadcast into the homes of all RINO’s. The greedy, corrupt, and abusive head of the greedy, corrupt, and abusive Congressional Republicans appearing before the radical clerics and religious extremists.

    I don’t see much of Christ’s teachings in the way that Tom DeLay conducts himself.

    I don’t see much of Christ’s teachings in the way that Tom DeLay conducts himself.

    The Bible would tend to agree with you:

    Mark 13:6 – For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

    Luke 21:8 – And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

    Are you taking the stand that DeLay is holding himself up as christ or a prophet or something? If so, from where do you get that idea?

    Delay is a walking billboard for the hypocrisy of the so-called religious right.
