Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

So very ready.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

    Any chance Jon Stewart will release the entire interview of last night’s smack-down of DoughBob LoadPants?

    They have it up over at The Daily Show site. Stewart said the the interview lasted 18 minutes but they only had time for 6. There was a lot of beeps in the last few minutes, so… It was more of the same – Goldberg getting called on his bullshit and unable to defend it. I really hope they release the whole 18 minutes unedited. Let’s start an e-mail campaign.

    It’s the Airline’s policy to never imply ownership, so we have to use the indefinite article “a” dildo, never “your” dildo.

    God, Fight Club is a great movie.

    Wow. That made my morning. They need to release all 18 minutes.

    Highlight:

    Jon Stewart: “I don’t know what you’re saying!”

    My god, I hope so. That interview was epic. I liked how as it jumped from clip to clip, you could see Stewart slowly collapsing in shock at the sheer stupidity. By the end, I think he was clinging to his desk.

    On the topic of the Pantload v Stewart; the doughy one has fallen back on a classic wingnut defense tactic–namely peddling such an overwhelming load of bullshit that you can’t figure out where to start with your rebuttal. They then take you speechlessness as a sign that they have beaten you.

    I would’ve liked to have seen Jon Stewart say something about fascism being the merging of the corporation and the state, with the populace being essentially just cogs in the wheels, but hey, he is a comedian. I’ve been taken aback bby a dumptruck load of stupidity once or twice myself and formulating a counterattack can be difficult.

    Stewart was definitely rolling in the last few minutes though.

    I say John Cole, Sadly, No!, Instaputz, FireDogLake, etc… should all start posting pleas for the release of the whole 18 minutes. How ’bout it?

    You know, it’s probably unfair to ask this question, but…

    Is it possible that John McCain’s Vietnam war injuries were self-inflicted?

    I would say no chance of that. I am guessing that the massive obvious editing job was to keep Jon from looking even more like the clueless dense empty suit he is.

    In the hell freezing over category, a post on a fem-blog that I agree with.
    Breaking news: Bisexuality exists!
    I am guessing that the study is valid as the Lancet report. But I can live with deluding myself if more young naive attractive woman buy into it.

    Anybody see George doing the Sword Dance (sic) with his Saudi master? No, no not holding that sword. That was later.
