Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

T R E 4 5 O N

Second rate reporter says what?

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Consistently wrong since 2002

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

This fight is for everything.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

In my day, never was longer.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

No Steelers today. Boo.

*** Update ***

I am watching MTP with Russert, and Mike Murphy, the Republican Strategist, is beginning to look like Darth Vader without his helmet on.

    Saw Huckabee on Blitzer’s show.

    He was talking about the Israeli/Palestinian issue and he said that talks haven’t happened for 7 years. Without of course mentioning that other curious feature of the last 7 years…the Bush Admin.

    My husband is in deep mourning for Dixon and the Oregon Ducks. Me, I’m conflicted…I graduated from Oregon State, it’s ingrained…but I do hope that Dixon can recover enought to have a pro career.

    Apparently there’s no Seahawks game either. Yes, they’re scheduled but I don’t think anyone told their offense that.

    Looks like the Reich wing is undermining the judiciary again by swiftboating this judge.
    Romney: Judge He Appointed Should Resign

    Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Saturday a judge he appointed while Massachusetts governor should resign because she released without bail a convicted killer now charged with murdering a young couple.

    According to this report, atrios, i.e. Duncan Black, has been dead for some time.

    Why is this not sad news?

    Yeah, Paul. I know — you’ve never gotten over the fact that that the Duke Lacrosse team was allowed to roam free when they were arrested, despite the solid evidence against them, so you generalize to all cases, including this one.

    FWIW, you don’t need to worry. He’s going to spend the rest of his life here in Washington State.

    Even Steely McBeam needs a day of rest. But now you can watch the Skins undergo another ass-ectomy. That’s always good for a laugh.

    I feel bad…i just ran across the first blog I ever visited, and used to go there quite a bit. Seeing the Forest.

    It really is a good blog. And it was from there i learned about the whole blog world…great lefty blog roll that opened to whole shebang to me.

    Your fellow PJ media mate Rick Moran wrote in his comments “Jesus what a shallow, unthinking ape” in his post criticizing Thanksgiving or something as being a socialist holiday. I thought that was a rather terrible thing for him to write about Jesus and pointed that out, but he deleted my comment.

    Over Thanksgiving weekend, my Uncle David was good enough to give us an impassioned talk about how the projected logarithmic curve of carbon release and climate change in An Inconvenient Truth is incorrect. Because apparently, we’re going to run out of stored-carbon energy sources, including coal, long before we turn Earth into Venus II, but just as things are really starting to heat up, so we won’t have much of anything to work with to solve the problem, but at least we’ll have no means of continuing to make things much, much worse. Also, there isn’t enough fissible uranium on Earth to make Nuclear a viable alternative to stored-carbon. He had already printed out papers with graphs to show all of this stuff, and I wish to God Unca Dave was just some crackpot who was basing all of this on calculations that he knows are right but the scientific community just won’t admit to his genius, etc. But Unca Dave is actually a member in good standing of the Scientific Community, so I kinda take him at his word.

    It was all very depressing. So I ate a lot of pie to compensate.

    How was your Thanksgiving?
