Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

I really should read my own blog.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Second rate reporter says what?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Another one leaps:

Even if he loses his long-shot bid for the White House, Rep. Tom Tancredo will be leaving the U.S. House of Representatives at the end of 2008.

Tancredo, 61 , waited until after the Colorado Rockies’ last out of the World Series on Sunday night before announcing that he plans to retire from Congress at the end of this, his fifth term.

I guess being in the minority is no fun. But hey- VDARE is hiring!

Someone put Michelle on suicide watch.

    We can give Tancredo a gun, a motorcycle, and diplomatic immunity, then send him out – one man against millions – to save us from the encroaching Mexican Menace. It’ll be just like Judge Dread, but rather than Silvester Stallone, Dread will be a geriatric embittered old ex-Congressman.

    Document dump? Maybe no one will notice?

    Maybe someone should clue him in that this isn’t considered bad news by most people. It isn’t worthy of the ‘sneak it in when no one will notice’ treatment. Geesh, can these guys do anything right?

    In possibly related news, the local Boulder chapter has an opening for The Grand Dragon position. Coincidence? Tough to say…

    You imagine Tancredo as Snake Plisken? He’s not that cool.

    I would hope that Tancredo takes to hanging out in bars with B-1 Bob Dornan.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dornan

    Sure, they’d get on the nerves of everyone else in the bar, but if they hung out in winger bars they could amuse everyone with their sad stories of how the world had abused them and they could occasionally call in ICE agents to arrest each other and otherwise entertain the denizens.
