Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stand up, dammit!

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

This fight is for everything.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

This blog will pay for itself.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

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.

    Romney should not be allowed to appoint any more judges.

    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?
