Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

This really is a full service blog.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Republicans in disarray!

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

This fight is for everything.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Come on, man.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

“woke” is the new caravan.

Not all heroes wear capes.

It worked for McCarthy.

Also, is it just me or does Horowitz look increasingly like Vladimir Lenin? You can take the boy out of Leninist-Stalinism…

    Are there even 50,000 professors in America?

    According to statistics from the Department of Education, there are just over 400,000 tenured and tenure-track full-time university professors* in the United States. If Horowitz’s numbers are accurate, that means approximately one out of every eight tenured or tenure-track college and university professors is a terrorist sympathizer.

    That was two paragraphs later, and yes, I do feel dumb.

    What does it mean to identify with terrorists? You like people who set off bombs? Horowitz identifies with people who lie to get their country into wars. What does that make him? Well, an asshole for starters.

    I hate how Horowitz focuses on unprofessionalism of liberal professors and complete ignores similar activity among conservative professors. At a university I once worked at, a conservative professor dropped a student by a letter grade because he referred to the time period from 400 AD – 800 AD as the Dark Ages.

    Why? Because that was the height of the Catholic church and to call that period the Dark Ages is a slight against the Church.

    Yes, some professors act unprofessionally, and let grading be influenced by extracurricular issues. It is worth investigating this matter, and determining what can be done about it. But turning this into a political fight, in which liberals are bad and conservatives or good, means that no one is going to do anything.

    They’d just pass off the blame on an illegal mexican. After all, all the liquor store knockoffs have been done by minorites, leaving none for great patriots like Tom Delay.

    Horowitz is always going on about his “journey” from left to right. I think he’s shat out three or for books on that subject. How is turning 180 degrees and taking one step from one end of the “horseshoe” spectrum of ideology to the other qualify as a journey. Unless there was free crabcakes, chardonney and an expense account on the right side. Ditto for Hitchens and Cooper, the little shits.

    Lenin? Nah, more like Big Daddy.

    As for there being over 400,000 tenured and tenure-track full-time university professors in the U.S., I think that Media Matters might be exaggerating a bit. “Post-secondary institutions” sometimes includes things like community colleges. I’d guess that the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty at four-year accredited universities is actually quite a bit smaller, though I don’t know for sure.

    Idiots like Horowitz and Coulter who always piss and moan about “liberal professors” are nothing more than opportunistic assholes cashing in on the fears and prejudices of an uniformed and ignorant audience.

    When one of these assholes address the REAL problem of higher education — the astronomical price — maybe I will take them seriously.

    Bob in Pacifica asked: “What does it mean to identify with terrorists? You like people who set off bombs? ”

    Actually, since he says they identify with THE terrorists, I assume that he has some specific ones in mind. Maybe we should ask HIM to identify which terrorists are THE terrorists, and how he knows that 50,000 liberal academics identify with THOSE terrorists, instead of some other “freedom fighters.” I mean, like the Contras, who were freedom fighters, right? And even the French Rsistance, who I think were freedom fighters unless you were Vichy French in which case they were terrorists? Was Begin and the Irgun a group of freedom fighters?

    It’s all too confusing.

    Tim,

    Why is it always acceptable for you leftists to compare anyone on the right with Nazis and/or Communists while any time a rightist does the same to a leftist it’s “devisive and extreme”. Is it not only “free speech for me and not for thee” but also civility? Not that I expect an answer since I have yet, in fifty years of watching, seen anyone on the left hold themselves to any standard.

    Poor little Ken, you’re such a stand up sort of guy, and yet no one will step up to your “standards”.

    Screw you Ken, you pathetic nitwitted trollish turd. While the word “liberal” has become a dirty name and Nazi sympathizers like Coulter run around saying its ok to hit liberals with a baseball bat, you’re sitting here whining about how liberals have it the best?

    What fucking unicorn world of rainbows and sunshine up your ass are you living in?

    I’ve been observing for an equal amount of time and I haven’t noticed any such standards on the right either.

    One would be a fool to believe that a allegience to decent behavior was purely a matter of ideological or partisan identification.
