Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

    Paris Hilton got out of jail this morning. Undisclosed health issues. I wonder if there is a video?

    The list also includes a number of children, including the two young sons of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. The two boys have not been seen by family members since they were detained in Pakistan almost five years ago during a raid in search of their father.

    The report also expresses concern over the fate of Yusuf al-Khalid and Abed al-Khalid, the sons of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. They were taken into custody, aged nine and seven, in September 2002, during an attempt to capture their father. A former detainee says that he saw them in March the following year, around the time their father was captured, in a secret prison where the guards tormented them with insects.

    According to Arkansas Republican Party Chairman Dennis Milligan, the reason people hate Bush is because they’re not afraid enough:

    At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [9/11 ], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country.

    I won’t go so far as to say that Milligan is hoping for attacks on American soil, but how exactly will more of them make anyone appreciate Bush’s Iraq debacle more?

    Won’t that create a problem for the “we’ve never had an attack since 9/11 because our commander-in-chief is doing such a fine job” argument?

    I will never buy into the fear that this president wants me to feel, NEVER!

    No, that’ll underline how “you’ve never had an attack since 9/11” until the Defeatocrat Party voter-frauded its way into Congress and made America look weak!!.

    Ain’t gonna happen. Remember, we’re fighting them in Iraq so we don’t have to deal with them here. Asshats. If we are attacked again, it simply confirms the fraudulence of the GWOT and the then wasted sacrifices of America’s fighting men and women.

    To some extent it would, yes. But the 28 Percenters really think that it would rally people behind Bush.

    They are that deluded. They are that crazy.

    Does anybody else think that Bush should be checked out with a Gieger counter after meeting with Putin AND suffering from a “virus”?
