Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

So many bastards, so little time.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

Karma

This post is in: Republican Stupidity

NYC plans to investigate whether Rudy Giuliani’s mismanagement of the emergency response system caused unnecessary deaths on 9/11. The investigation apparently follows a recent film publicizing the most credible allegations against him, but given the bitter taste that Giuliani’s administration left in New York (one among many, many examples) I doubt that too many will sweat the timing.

    What with the film/transcripts of some of his more egregious press conferences, the pictures of him in drag or with Bernie Kerik, clips of him espousing opinions that are anathema to “value voters” (e.g., about gay civil unions, abortion and the like) — how has this bozo gained any traction in the Republican party at all?

    I seriously don’t get it. Is it just because he’s from New York and isn’t Hillary Clinton?

    I don’t know if that’s “karma” so much as “responsible politics and administration of one of America’s largest cities”. Kinda like watching an axe murderer get the chair. I wouldn’t call that karma either.

    Several months ago somebody posted on the groupnewsblog that Rudy had made a lot of enemies on his way to Mayor of 9-11, and that many of those people were eagerly sharpening their knives, waiting for the right time to slip them in. Looks like he or she was right.

    The real Rudy.

    Merely the entire state of NY who, despite the rest of the nations infatuation with “America’s mayor” still loathe the POS.

    What Dreggas said.
    Oh, and if you look beyond the NYPD you’ll see he generally had about as much smarts in hiring as the current fearless leader. Google “Raymond Harding” as a for instance. Eeeech.

    Cool. I signed a petition awhile back pushing for this investigation. I don’t know if such things have much effect, but for whatever reason it’s happening, I’m glad. I’m heartily sick of mythology trumping reality.
