Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was promised a recession.

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Second rate reporter says what?

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

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

    Dan Riehl gave me my own thread, and all I got was this stupid T-Shirt thread on Riehl World View.

    Still, I think he’s warming to me.

    Why is the FDA acting like the appearance of contaminated basic food products is only a threat to the pet food chain, when these products are also used in the human food chain?

    What protections are in place to prevent unexpected (not specifically looked for) contaminants in basic food ingredients, especially ones purchased from overseas?

    Apparently melamine, a suspect in the pet food case, might be used to elevate the apparent food content of gluten and thereby raise its price in the marketplace. If food scam artists can do this as easily as it appears they might …. what is to prevent terrorists from using something like melamine foam (a rather benign material, aka Mister Clean Magic Eraser) as a carrier for more deadly toxins?

    When George Bush talks about the terrorists “following us home” why hasn’t he built a DHS that actually provides some security for basic things?

    Why can’t the Red Cross/Red Crescent talk about all of the Iraqis who aren’t suffering from malnutrition, unemployment, displacement, loss of their homes, loss of infrastructure, loss of life and limb?

    Because DHS was only for “Show and Tell”? Show and Tell is over now, cake and ice cream for the Iraq Victory is what we’re working on now.
