Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

This really is a full service blog.

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

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

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

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Quite frankly, I am surprised there hasn’t been more of this.

    “Its a good thing we are fighting the looters over there before we’re fighting them here”

    “Foreign insurgents have been funneling into New Orleans and are using the opportunity to take shots at Americans.”

    “Al-Queda has been operating out of New Orleans for quite some time, we are just now smoking them out of their hiding places”

    “We stopped some buses, others got in. And we are — when we scoop up people in these raids, we find people from other nations who came there to oppose the regime — correction, to oppose to the coalition. There are clearly people that are being influenced by Cuba.”

    What?

    I thought Katrina was a soldier of Jesus killing gays, strippers, hookers and other various and sundry sinners.

    I got to stop watching the 700 club.

    Not much different from some of our own “clerics” who pray for Supreme Court vacancies, or blame natural disasters on the sinful, wicked ways of the victims.

    You know, you’d _think_ the Kuwaitis would be more… well, never mind.

    That was my thought as well; if this is how the Kuwaitis, of all people, think of us, we’re even more screwed than I realized.

    This is as stupid as the “hurricane looks like a fetus” mail…

    BTW, 220,000 people died in Aceh after the Tsunami last year, most of the muslims. I think it’s safe to say that natural disasters strike without any relgious concern.

    This is an excellent contrast to our own radical clerics who are advising us that their God is the one who destroyed New Orleans.

    I think Mullah Robertson, though, has kept his mouth shut. Can anyone verify? I hope so, considering that his charity is on the FEMA list. Although it does appear to be a good charity.

    To be fair, StupidityRules, the tsunami victims were blamed for their wicked tourist trade too. Sure, whenever disaster strikes, some cleric blames the she-male strippers.

    But…Bourbon Street was relatively unscathed…so far. Take that fundamentalist clerics!

    Just saw Bush and four other Richard Craniums on the tube. Just a pretty picture of 5 Dick Heads.
