Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

I really should read my own blog.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

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

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

    I think you moonbats who love conspiracy theories will love this. Somehow I missed this “controversy:”

    The 30 second TV advertisement, which deals with who should pay for prescription drugs for the elderly, contains the word “rats”.

    Alongside images of Vice-President Al Gore, the ad shows fragments of the slogan “Bureaucrats decide”. “RATS” is flashed for a split second, before the complete word “bureaucrats” appears.

    Psychologists suggest that such brief messages can be processed by the brain but at an unconscious or subliminal level.

    Mr Bush has denied that the words were planted intentionally as a subliminal message.

    I found about this “story” while reading a review of John Carpenter’s “They Live.”

    I know it’s not from this blog, but I really like this one:

    “IM IN UR BASE, KILLIN UR D00DZ!”

    – Gen. William T. Sherman in a letter to Gen. Robert E. Lee, 1864

    I liked other ones too, though. Like this one:

    “I found Baghdad a city of bricks and left it a city of rubble.” – C. Augustus.

    And this one:

    “Keep away your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
    I reject the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    These, the homeless, tempest-tost are nothing to me.
    I dim my lamp and close the door”
    Emma Lazurus, 1883

    And this one:

    “Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to doggedly maintain that stance when he knows he is in error. ”—Andrew Jackson

    Honestly, though, almost all of them are really awesome. We should have a contest like this once a month or so. It was a lot of fun.

    I see some feddy court just upheld Bush’s law to deny foreigners held as “EC”s any access to US courts.

    Which begs this question–why the fuck would any foreigner want to come here, knowing that at any given moment, for any reason, Bush could declare you an EC, and you’d have no right to contest it? In effect, you’re likely jailed for life?

    Am I missing something, or does this not make him much like a King, able to decree who goes to the pokey and when, and not needing to show a shred of evidence for said detention?

    I just got to the other thread, here are some good ones from there:

    I don’t agree with what you say and will lynch your liberal ass for saying it. – Voltaire

    “The only thing we have is fear itself.”—FDR

    Our Father
    Who art in heaven
    Reagan be thy name

    Thy nation come
    wars will be done
    In Iraq as it is in Afghanistan

    Give Halliburton this day
    their daily “bread”
    And forgive us our Abu Ghraib
    As we forgive those damn friggin liberals

    And lead us not into diplomacy
    But deliver us to Iran
    Amen.

    “I want to be invisible. I do guerrilla warfare. I paint my face and travel at night. You don’t know it’s over until you’re in a body bag.” —Franklin Delano Roosevelt

    “Whenever I hear the word `liberal’, I reach for my revolver.”—Thomas Jefferson

    “There are many causes I would kill for. There is not a single cause I would die for.”—Gandhi

    “English, motherfucker. Do you speak English.”
    —Rep. Tom Tancredo

    “That which does not kill me means that it’s not torture.” – Nietzsche

    “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cheney R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn”—Scooter Libby

    Fuck it, they’re all really good. Those are the ones that stood out to me on this reading, though.

    A few more…

    “In many cases presumptive evidence goes far to paint a person guilty, though there be no express proof of the fact to be committed by him, but then it must be very ruthlessly pressed, for it is better five innocent persons should die than one guilty person should escape unpunished.”
    Lord Hale, 1678

    “Git my gun; I’m surrounded by Jews and Haji faggots who don’t even speak English!”—Jesus

    In time of war, it is not only treason to object to the application of any instrument, including infliction of corporal suffering, in furtherance of the eventual triumph of liberty, but it is indeed the essence of liberty itself that these traitors, having shown themselves to be enemies of liberty, should themselves be made to suffer those measures of which they would deny us the use.
    Gen. George Washington

    Leave it to Free Republic to rebut that hit piece by Dana Priest on the crown jewel of military health care, Walter Reed. The MSM always sees the glass as empty, not realizing it’s full of clear liquid. What a bunch of America-hating twits!

    I think the biased WP was describing how things would be under Hitlery (HilLIARy) care. Socialist health care is the surest way to an early grave.

    FREEP expert Albion Wilde (…where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. -2 Cor 3:17):

    I have been in Building 18 several times over the past year to visit soldiers or to drop off donations. I went into the basement to use the toilet, and upstairs to see a soldier in his room. Everyone who knows me well knows I am a very particular person. I did not see nor smell any mold, vermin or stale carry-out odors.

    Case closed! So much for yet another kook hatchet job.

    More on the Washington Compost’s authors Dana anti-Priest and Ann empty-Hull here. Traitors to the core.

    I liked this one:

    Where there is a lower class, I am not of it, where there is a criminal element I am not in it, where there is a soul in prison I am free.” -Eugene V. Debs
