Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Tarrists It Is, Then

GOS*:

Here we have evidence that the issue wasn’t a killer — traditional Democratic issues trumped immigration — while Republican demonization of those scary brown people will kill their long-term electoral prospects by alienating key, fast-growing, immigrant communities.

In other words, while the issue is a certain long-term loser, it doesn’t even have short term benefits for the GOP.

Huh. If immigration proves to be a loser, healthcare is poison and Iraq is radioactive, what do yo suppose they will run on?

Other than Osama Bin Hitlery I mean.

    Wow! If the terrorists make all the straight people marry a homosexual, I don’t think there will be enough gays and lesbians to go around, unless of course we get multiple wives/husbands. Which means the terrorists want gay polygamy/polyandry! Yea! I’ll do my part… let’s see… I could start by marrying Jodie Foster, Julia Stiles, Jessica Alba, Kiera Knightley, and go from there!

    My theory – call me out if you disagree.

    The name, concept and dynasty Clinton has the same vibes for the right as the equivalents of Reagan has for the left.

    We are talking juju so bad it kills cockroaches. We are talking a sense of “wrongness” one usually only feels when watching that scene where Cartman eats the skin off of everyone’s KFC.

    It is in both cases a mix of the substantial and the ephemeral that goes straight for the limbic system, and it is a trigger for utmost antagonism that can inspire a right-wing tsunami of cooperation and information-hijacking, despite disagreements within the pack.

    Um, you know, folks — now that Robertson is endorsing Giuliani, I’m thinking that the theme will indeed be “9/11 — GAYS (caused it) — 9/11 — GAY MARRIAGE (caused it)”.

    Her husband, and the penis attached thereto. Beyond that, what else do they need?

    I hear they released that with music done by Nine Inch Beards, it was a riff on Nine Inch Nails “Closer” with the signature lyric being “I wanna fuck you like an Infidel”.

    Ooooh! Oooooh! I know! I know!

    They’ll mention Reagan in every single campaign speech. From now until 11/2008, expect to hear “Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan.”

    And some more stuff about Reagan.

    Ya know, back in the day, when Rudy was mayor (and I still lived in NY) I remember the righties from the south and Midwest gettin’ all tweaked about Jew York City and Rudy Jew-liani. I guess 9/11 changed everything.

    This is why I love being a dem. My principles may shift but I stand for all of them, not just pick and choose.

    That is not to say I stick to the stupidity that was the idea of “Jew York City” etc. I just remember hearing it called that.

    I prefer to say “I have the principles of a strong Democrat. Any that are convenient this week.”

    So the tarrists want Mitt … I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me that K-Lo and Osama would have this in common.

    No one, but *no one* thinks more about “homersekshual butt secks” than a fundamentalist.

    Heck, I don’t think the most flamboyant gay drag queen living in bathhouses in SF thinks about it as much as the fundies do.

    Projection much?
