Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Let there be snark.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

This fight is for everything.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

    Seriously John, I’m worried for your health. If reading these idiots gets you so worked up, maybe you should pick up some safer hobby.

    I have said this before but the Betrayus moniker circulates among the military.

    Critics, including one recently retired general, are privately calling him “General Betraeus” on the grounds that he is too ambitious to deliver a balanced report on the war.

    R. Murcoch, that commie symp ownerof Fox News—long may its flag staff wave—owns the Times of London.

    Moveon reports the attitude of some of those who know P and what? no one points out that the P is a putz? and that Moveon is, ya know, making a saliant point about P’s reliablity? P’s whole schtick, like Bush’s, is that his honorable, well neither is and this point needs to be made more ofte.

    But it said “today”! If it had been bumped a day, it would have had to change to “yesterday”, and the Times doesn’t have the technology for that!

    Heh. And now they’ll keep digging the hole deeper, as usual, because they can’t read:

    Catherine Mathis, vice president of corporate communication at the Times, said she could not discuss specific advertisers, but said the rate for a special advocacy, full-page, black and white, standby ad is $64,575. At that rate, an advertiser can request that an ad run on a specific date, but cannot be guaranteed such placement.

    “The rates are certainly things that have many different variables in them,” she said.

    “many different variables”? Yeah, they’re never going to figure this one out…

    “Variables” sounds suspiciously like “facts,” which have a well-known liberal bias…

    I’m just flushed with relief that the NRO and K-LO are asking the tough questions – like what does “standby” mean in the newspaper business. The anticipation at hearing their report is more than I can bear.

    If there were shenanigans every time K Lo didn’t understand something, well, that’s a lot of shenanigans.

    tangentially unrelated: K Lo is a fat, disgusting pig of a woman.

    These last bunch of threads have provided more entertainment a mere mortal can bear. I haven’t laughed so hard in years. Thanks, John! and Uncle Jimbo! And a standing ovation to the supporting cast!

    The entire Right-wing should have to stand up and admit how fucking stupid they are, right up to Giuliani. If they had credibility in the first place outside of the legion of morons, their gross errors here should actually matter. But they don’t — the only problem is how large that moronic legion is, and how many of them work in television.

    “many different variables”? Yeah, they’re never going to figure this one out…

    Yeah, in this country there is only one variable. It’s a bit variable and it represents:
    1 – With the President
    0 – With the Terrorists

    The newspaper ad spot clearly was not with the President.

    Those RedState pussies have banned me twice for disagreeing with them. No wonder the cowards won’t enlist.

    It’s amazing what you can get banned for on those boards. Whatever bad things may be said about DKos, by and large the site does an excellent job of not cracking people over the head with the ban stick at every occasion.

    Zinfab, I agree. Used to go to Red State till it got so weird. John left and Trevino as well. Moe Lane, wasn’t he a founder of Obsidian Wings? What the heck happened to that guy?

    You do have to be a complete jackass and then some to be banned from Kos. Even a simple singletroll rating can sometimes ensure several meta postings about whether or not it was justified. And often those are aimed at each other, not someone from the “other side”.

    I can not link to NRO, it is too stupid. So awful and purile. Once in a great while Buckley himslef will come down from his Olympian wherever and lay the smackdown on them, but how embarrassing for him to have those nitwits representing his movement.

    Shorter K-Lo. Would be even uglier than the real thing. I just wish she was liberal so I could call her the Hefty Lefty

    Wow…I ha no idea she looked like that (just googled her image..and shakes finger at people judging her by her appearance..I hate it when the righties do it to other women..but..that said…she’s fatter than Michael Moore!)

  24. 24.

    Krista

    September 14, 2007 at 11:22 am

    I second capelza’s finger-shaking. Making fun of people’s appearance is not cool.

    Besides, there’s so much OTHER material from which to work (i.e. her “I don’t get it, so it must be bad” philosophy), that making fun of her looks is really just lazy.

    Speaking of smell test, I’ll bet K-LO has whole chickens trapped in the rolls on her abdomen.

    Are you saying there’s chickens in her fat, or chickens trapped in bread rolls that are trapped in her fat? If it’s the latter….well…that’s just not acceptable.

    Sorry, but when someone who looks like K-Low (who looks like Roseanne Barr in the first third of the movie, “She Devil”) is an advocate for chastity and modesty, she opens herself up to the suggestion that she espouses a certain world-view because of how she looks. It’s like the recovering alcoholic who becomes a crusader for universal temperance. Not much credibility in saying, “if I ain’t satisfied, then nobody else can be satisfied.” If that hypothesis make me sound like a dick, then I again apologize.

    If K-Low were teh hott and the belle of the ball, I’d bet her stances on reproductive rights and presidential authority would be quite different. In fact, I’d wager that she would sound more like Miss Teenage South Carolina did when opining about why American kids cannot find the USA on a map. Because, strip away the self-righteousness, and it becomes clear that K-Low lacks the chops (and, likely, the intellectual horsepower) to support even the most obvious position. Outside the friendly confines The Corner of Dumb and Dumber, K-Low would shrivel beneath the lights of public scrutiny (or God forbid, an open reader commenting policy) like a salted slug.

    Meantime, I cannot bear to look at her picture when it accompanies her writing. I can handle either ugly inside or ugly outside. But life is too short for my “beautiful mind” to have to bear spending more time than is absolutely necessary in the company of one who is thoroughly and manifestly both.

    That is just too precious.

    K Lo’s response to US torture allegations is “Yippee!”

    Calling her fat is the least she deserves.

    Though all don’t care for my comments,

    I found John quite intriguing last night. I replied several times to this post in a very well voiced manner. He blocked them all. I wonder why that is? Is John’s version of “freedom of speech” confined to that which he wants to hear? I was in no way derogatory, angry, or foolish. So if I am getting this right, he is, imposing the the same standard that he accuses the current administration of. Before I submitted each post it was saved and referenced to the post #. If I can slip this by the “Wizard” aka John, in the future, reference the post # and read the comments he blocked.

    This did not work,

    I will find a way to convey the saved responses. Here is the answer from John’s server when I attempt to add the responses that were DELETED by the host.

    “Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!”

    Do you happen to see any comments other than the one above. Well there were 5 in total. If John is so right, what could I say that would shake the ground he stands on? Yes, they were made way before my 11PM curfew.

    I did however remember an earlier observation. John’s posts are only good for 24 – 36 hours before they are no longer looked at. The importance is really only temporary, they really spell out or resolve nothing. He does his thing, you do your thing, have a group hug, and say “I feel better now”. You don’t look for an answer, you don’t research the truth, you just follow your leader. All 20 of you regulars make quite a force to be reckoned with. John’s powerful influence has 20, maybe 30 dedicated men and women. Go find other sources of comment, weigh each, the world is large.
