Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We still have time to mess this up!

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Come on, man.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

I was promised a recession.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

This blog will pay for itself.

No one could have predicted…

What the Hell?

Is Howard Dean wearing on Hardball right now?

Was he waterboarded in that suit and then thrown in an industrial strength dryer?

Christ, Mark Penn looks good by comparison.

    Dean could be wearing a burlap sack, and as long as he doesn’t go into a frothing rabid rage at the sound of HRC’s name, he will still look better than Chris Matthews.

    Dean’s notoriously cheap — old suits, and I believe he does wash them himself.

    Still, a massive improvement over McAulliffe.

    More fiscal conservatism:

    PAULSON: What we’ve got in terms of 2009, you have $70 billion which is a placeholder. And that will be needed to be updated when Gen. Petraeus comes back and reports and so on. In terms of what we’re going to spend this year, Congress, I believe, is yet to appropriate $108 billion which is going to be needed right now.

    SEN. BINGAMAN: So we need the $108 billion plus we need the $70 billion plus we need whatever Gen. Petraeus says in his report in March? And the amount that Gen. Petraeus asked for is not included in the budget?

    PAULSON: It’s an unknowable amount. … That’s a placeholder and it will change based on what the requirement is.

    I have a feeling Bush, in his last budget request, will go stupid crazy and ask for something like $721 billion dollars for the wars, scream “Dems hate troops!” when they balk, then have the Dems fold, then laugh when the next Dem Pres tries to tax their way out of a $1.2 trillion dollah hole.

    I had to rewind the DVR (God, I love technology).

    Dean looks like, as one of my drill sergeants used to say,
    Joe Shit The Ragman.

    It’s my wardrobe. Someone’s always giving me shit for my faded t-shirts. That’s why I don’t go on Hardball.

    Holy Crap…

    The Romney and McCain lackeys are trying to kill each other on Hardball. Wow the Romney camp is in meltdown.

    Why can’t Dems just freakin’ find a bunch of pretty people, dress them up real nice, and train them to talk the talk? How hard is it to find charismatic spokespeople?

    “No, conservatives don’t do preemptive wars.”

    WTF?!

    I love me my Howard, but it looks like he is wearing a Pajamas Top instead of a shirt.

    He did bat down Tweety pretty well when he tried to get him to take a position on seating the Florida and Michigan delegates.

    Say all you want about the jabs between the Clinton and Obama camps. Those Republicans want to eat each others hearts. Bay Buchanan was like some nasty shit. I hope all three stay in the race. Fun stuff.

    Goes well with the “Known knowns.”

    Can we make excessive use of the passive voice a hanging offence? Pleeeeze??

    Well, update from the Cali on-campus polls:

    Lots of students showing up to vote on campus when they don’t live on campus, the nice lady showing them a map of town and where they are supposed to go vote. Tons of people, like me, who are “decline to state” voters going Democratic. I heard the nice lady when she called the elections folks (whoever they may be) that there were 12 people in line and they had about 20 Democratic ballots left, and they still had an hour and half to go before the polls closed. Turns out I could have voted for Mittens if I was willing to register Republican on the spot, but, well, ew.

    Ga. People in Montana are 36% for Romney. Geez. Makes me want to shake ’em. Of course, their teeth (dentures) would fly right out of their heads. Lots of retirees up there (young people tend to leave to find JOBS). Ugh. Bah. Urg.

    Wow. The west in general really really like Romney. Can’t see the attraction myself, but whatever.

    “No, conservatives don’t do preemptive wars.”“No, conservatives don’t do preemptive wars.”

    WTF?!

    Didn’t you hear? George Bush isn’t a conservative.
