Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

This really is a full service blog.

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

Let there be snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

After roe, women are no longer free.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Carol To The Rescue

by John Cole|  September 3, 20051:17 pm| 2 Comments

This post is in: General Stupidity

FacebookTweetEmail

Former Senator Carol Moseley-Braun, who in an irony free world would be portrayed only as a static display of incompetence and corruption (something that I was once again reminded after recently reading the entire Senate testimony of the Ginsburg confirmation) and not as an authority of anything other than outright stupidity, is now on CNN screaming and yelling that the government is not doing enough and that things are too ‘draconian’ to allow people to return to a ‘normal’ life in New Orleans.

I weep, and look for college football on tv.

    I lived in Illinois when she was our senator. Every time she spoke we all cringed. Nice lady, but dumb as a box of rocks.

    They made her Ambassador to New Zealand. She really didn’t have any clue where New Zealand was. Maybe there is an open position in Nepal. That would keep her busy, getting passage on a boat to get there.

    things are too ‘draconian’ to allow people to return to a ‘normal’ life in New Orleans.

    I dunno about “draconian”, but many cognscenti are talking about periods of time from 6-18 months before the city is inhabitable again. Drainage, inspection of dwellings, recovery of human remains, decontamination ….. a huge mess. And nothing happens until the water is out of there, and that could take several months all by itself. That’s assuming that no other event comes along to put more water in there in the meantime.

    I can’t even get my head around the size and extent of this set of problems, but it is annoying to already hear people talking glibly about “rebuilding” and that sort of thing.

    Ms. Moseley-Braun generally doesn’t have her best moments under great pressure.
