Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Infrastructure week. at last.

This blog will pay for itself.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

I really should read my own blog.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Let there be snark.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

No one could have predicted…

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

After roe, women are no longer free.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

    “Very bad neighborhood.” – The Kingdom

    “Yeah? No Shit.” – Chris Cooper’s response.

    I quite liked this film, actually. The Arab-Israeli actor who plays the Saudi Colonel is phenomenally good.

    The Populist

    I saw The Kingdom…very good stuff. Nice mix of action and intrigue.

    According to friends of mine who are still Republican – they bought some propaganda that this is an anti-American flick. Sorry, I didn’t get that vibe at all.

    Perry Como

    If a private intelligence group gives the administration the heads up on a new al Qaeda video under the condition it isn’t released early so they don’t jeopardize their sources, does the administration:

    a) respect the request hoping to get more intelligence in the future
    b) release the video as soon as possible ’cause ZOMG IT’S THE TERRIERS!!!, thereby scuttling anymore intel coming from that source

    You get three guesses. The first two don’t count:

    The founder of the company, the SITE Intelligence Group, says this premature disclosure tipped al-Qaeda to a security breach and destroyed a years-long surveillance operation that the company has used to intercept and pass along secret messages, videos and advance warnings of suicide bombings from the terrorist group’s communications network.

    Well, it doesn’t really matter, because the Administration can just make up shit that’s almost the same as the real intelligence. After all, the American people won’t know the difference, so who’s the wiser?

    OH…those pesky Al-Qaeda guys…right.
