Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

He really is that stupid.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

A consequence of cucumbers

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

This really is a full service blog.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

    So..

    My wife became a U.S. citizen last week. When they went through the Pledge of Allegiance, I couldn’t help think snarky thoughts at the point of “..with liberty and justice and for all” by adding “except for those bastards in Guantanamo and that Jose Padilla, and those random canadian citizens we like to kidnap”.

    Sri – congratulations to your wife.

    TZ – It’s often PART of what I say, but I have a real problem with brevity, so I feel compelled to say more.

    Sure hope those dratted “dashes” don’t strike-through my comment here.

    Rome – why do think I put it out there? What else can an obsessive-compulsive who always has to get the “last word” in do, anyway? Now you know if I say “yank away” some people will misunderstand…lol…

    Oh, OK…”Yank away”.

    I see Liebs wants more war with Eye-ran, wants more domestic spying on Americans, and called Democratic candidates pussies.

    Not only is this guy not a Democrat, he’s worse than at least a dozen R’s. I hope the clowns in Connbigword are happy with this shithead they voted for…

    I went to see Obama speak in Minneapolis on friday with my girlfriend.

    My advice: Everybody should go hear Obama speak.

    My advice: Everybody should go hear Obama speak.

    See, I’m not really getting the whole Dem debate where they said Hillary won. I’ve heard other people say it, and I’ve heard some of the debate. Maybe I missed the point where Hillary won it. But apparently she out-spoke Obama, which I consider a respectable feat, given that everyone I’ve spoken to who’s heard Obama in person was impressed by him.

    I like boobs, monkeys, guns, and butter. If only there were a presidential candidate who fully supported these priorities.

    “I like boobs, monkeys, guns, and butter. If only there were a presidential candidate who fully supported these priorities.”

    All at the same time or as distinct and separate activities? Inquiring minds wanna know. And besides, if you don’t require them all at the same time, well, I believe the Republican Party has a whole room full of boobs speaking at their next scheduled candidate’s debate.

    If the former, Andrew, you’re not going to do better than the current administration.

    You mean until Hillary. But perhaps that’s too literal.

    Yeah. I don’t know, it’s different between debates and speeches. Especially with so many candidates.

    So often at those debates, given the 8 or so candidates, the answer someone gives is “Yeah, what he said”.

    The other key, is a difference of style. Obama seems to be far less partisan in his talk. That is, he addresses Democratic issues, but he doesn’t talk about them in such a divisive way. It’s going to be interesting if he can get the nomination this way.

    My vote is for separately, but I can imagine that monkeys with guns and buttered boobs would be good combinations too…

    To riff on Dave Barry:
    Monkeys with Guns & Buttered Boobs would be a great name for a rock band.

    In other news, people worried the U.S. is too easy on immigrants can take heart.

    The service in this place sucks.
