Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

This really is a full service blog.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

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

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

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

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Time to update the blogroll, and over the next few weeks I will be preening away those blogs which are now defunct from the blogroll. If you find one, let me know.

Also, if you are missing and deserve to be there (or know of someone who is, let me know- for some reason the Belgravia Disptach was missing until recently). I use my browser for my own surfing, and needto do this from time to time to keep things current.

    Preening away? Sounds like you’re tweezing your eyebrows or something …

    Pejmanesque was snarky to me the other day so you may want to dump him, but if you want to keep his snarky butt on your blogroll his new blog is Chequer-board.net.

    Well JC, you might consider adding ISOU since you are one of my favorite Right Wing Bloggers. Hehe…

    You might want to change your descriptions…

    You say ‘Center to Right’, but most of those blogs are clearly off in cuckoo land, and are not centrist. Similarly you have many blogs under ‘To the Left’ which are far more centrist.

    Also you might want to add Yglesias…
    http://yglesias.typepad.com/matthew/

    Oh, and in another category… I seriously find http://www.wuzzadem.com/ to be fricking hilarious. It’s more Libertarian I guess… It’s hard to really peg, but it’s funny.

    I notice you lack a link to my favorite pinko foreign policy blog, War & Piece.

    And though it is not a blog per se, I cannot recommend highly enough Gary Brecher’s column War Nerd .

    Ann Althouse can stay off the roll.

    As for additions, may I suggest:
    For the Right-
    http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/
    http://www.theneweditor.com/
    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/blog/index.html
    http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/

    For the Left, you seem to have the good ones that I’ve read.

    If you’re looking for new blogroll members, I recommend
    Donklephant and The Debate Link.

    Throw frequent commenter Otto Man a bone. He’s running a good lefty blog with some friends (which I found directly as a result of his comments here). He’s sort of the “lead guitarist”—I’m not sure whether you’d file it as a group blog or not.

    Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Nachos

    Also:
    The Talent Show
    firedoglake

    Be sure to add TallDave, because I’m certainly not getting enough of him… [groan]

    You clearly need a section for photoblogs. Clearly.

    Thanks for the shout out, Furious. For the record, I play the xylophone.

    Otto Man – good stuff. I used to play the glockenspiel.

    Thanks for the nomination, but I’m already here–under Center to Right blogs. I tend to bounce from category to category depending on the blog you read–I’ve seen myself labeled as left, right, and center.

    I do second the Donklephant nomination though.

    I haven’t seen “glockenspiel” since I last read the liner notes on “Tubular Bells”…..about 30 years ago.

    Must be quite a specialty to play it, or maybe just for us here in the States.

    Brian – every marching band uses one.

    (Yes, you can laugh at me for having been in a marching band.)

    Time for me to google it. When you’re focus is on Led Zep, et al, you aren’t immersed in the finer instruments of the musical sphere.

    Marching bands are cool. My nephew’s at a high school in San diego that consistently nails their competitions. He’s a trumpet leader, and a budding honky Miles Davis.

    The Disenfranchised Voter

    December 14, 2005 at 6:56 pm

    Can we also suggest blogs that should be removed from the blog roll for their sheer nuttiness?

    I mean come on, “Stop the ACLU”? It’s run by people who were probably down in florida protesting outside the hospice throughtout the Schiavo ordeal.

    I can understand linking to opposing viewpoints, but Stop the ACLU is taking the concept a bit far.

    Just my two cents…

    I recommend on the left side Brilliant at Breakfast. Sharp wit, fascinating articles, razor-sharp analysis.

    I would also appreciate your considering my very new blog (see my link) for something a little different.

    May I suggest http://washingtonrealist.blogspot.com/ for a touch of the foreign policy side of things?

    For the center-right side, may I recommend The Cunning Realist (http://cunningrealist.blogspot.com/)?
