Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

He really is that stupid.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Their freedom requires your slavery.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

More on Miers

Dale Franks confronts Hugh Hewitt’s continued insistence that Miers is the right person for the job, and Jeff Goldstein cooks up another treat.

In other Miers-related news, if this snippet of the blogosphere’s opinion regarding Miers can be generalized to the larger public, Miers is in trouble. As I write this, there are 255 blogs opposed (70%), 55 blogs who are neutral (15%), and 51 who support (14%).

    The problem with that of course is that the vast majority of the American public doesn’t care that much about a Supreme Court justice. This is an activists fight more than anything.

    Didn’t we learn anything from the Dean-in-the-primaries debacle? When it comes to opinion, blogs are like film critics–they may be right, but you can’t predict box office by them.

    At least this recipe looks marginally better than the HH Shit Sandwich. It comes from Emeril, though, so you gotta be careful not to put in entire bulb of garlic or half a jug of red wine just because some people clap and go “WHOOO!”

    Miers will be confirmed unless she does horribly in the hearings. Senate Republicans will not vote Miers down and risk an angry veto pen for the next 3 years. In a year most conservatives will have to appologize to Miers. Those too proud to admit they erred will continue to snipe like the fever swamp does.

    Yeh, they’d have to apologize for putting her in a job that she is completely unprepared for. Voting the “right” way is not enough, at least for those who take the highest court seriously.

    Why does John Cole hate America?

    Isn’t it wonderful to see the right-wing hate machine turned against the right-wing hate machine?
