Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

T R E 4 5 O N

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Republicans don’t trust women.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Yep, that’s an actual police academy class slogan.

    I don’t know if they changed it, but the LAPD slogan used to be:

    “Come to Los Angeles, we’ll treat you like a King!”

    Way off topic, but Reuters is reporting that Benezir Bhutto just got killed in a suicide bombing.

    Holy shit.

    Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated.

    G-Dub sure has made the world a safer place.

    Yeah, but these are cops in Idaho. PTSD comes with being born there I thought.

    And yes, CNN just picked up Bhutto’s death. Nothing good to come of that.

    Bloomberg is also saying this.

    Holy fuck, can I go punch the smirk off Musharaff’s face? Please? Can I?

    I bet that little shit goes to her funeral in full military drag.

    Gah, I’m not reading any news today. If I see Shrub trying to maintain his solemn prezidential face, I’ll puke. If I hear any pundits trying to blame this on Democrats I won’t be responsible for my actions.

    It’s hard not to wonder if Pakistan would be this unstable if the grown-ups had been in charge of our government for the last seven years.

    This is not the time to have Darth Cheney and Monkey-Boy running our country.

    Is it time to realize yet that this is a police state?

    I’m probably going to hell for laughing at that slogan. But what can I say? I like my humor dark. I agree, though, as an official slogan, it’s inappropriate.

    They should have saved it for the t-shirts.

    On a lighter note:

    AFP says the priests came to blows — and in some cases even attacked each other with broomsticks and iron rods — after the Greeks allegedly started cleaning a part of the church controlled by the Armenians. The church, built on the site where Christians believe Jesus was born, is shared by various branches of Christianity — each of which controls a slice of the building.

    Palestinian police had to be called in to break up the battle, and two of them were among the seven people reportedly hurt.

    Am I the only one here who sees the irony of the Palestinian police being the ones to quell the Christian hooligans? Around here if there is a Palestinian Cultural festival the nut jobs can’t wait to call it a terrorist meeting. It must *really* set wingnuts on their one nerve when anyone mentions that Jesus was a Palestinian. What a crazy world.

    Are you cop-haters ever going to have anything positive to say about those who protect and serve? Cop Hater Syndrome, also known as CHipS.

    My sister was a police dispatcher for many years. One of her biggest problems was the ‘super troopers’ who acted like the biggest badasses of them all. (I guess all the other cops were wimps) She never understood that pretty much all cops treat us ‘civilians’ like the super troopers treated her.

    Hey Psycho, how ya doing today? I haven’t seen any posts from you until now.

    I’m not a cop hater, just a bad cop hater.

    Kidding right? You’re going to compare your disdain for law enforcement to the same kind of countries where people were dragged off in the middle of the night and never heard from again? Are you so spoiled, that you can’t even recognize the foolishness of what you just said?

    Yeah, it’s a real police state when cops take the time to taser a victim, as opposed to putting two in the head behind the woodshed.

    Of course you Mayor Nagin defenders approve of this Police behavior.
    Police Lie

    The NRA says the city seized more than 1,000 guns that weren’t part of any criminal investigation after the hurricane. Police have said they took only guns that had been stolen or found in abandoned homes.
