Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Second rate reporter says what?

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Republicans don’t trust women.

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

It’s a doggy dog world.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

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

Busted

This post is in: Humorous, Blogospheric Navel-Gazing, I Read These Morons So You Don't Have To

Remember that idiotic Bill Hobbs post yesterday, in which he mistakenly took a Josh Marshall joke about Obama’s ties to Khaddafi seriously and looked like a total idiot?

You will never guess what happened next. He tried to delete the post, but Stephen at the Politburo Diktat caught him and has the screen shots. I guess if destroying evidence is good enough for the White House, it is good enough for second-rate party hacks in Tennessee (and this should serve as yet another example of how thoroughly rotten the GOP is from top to bottom). Lead by example, I always say.

BTW- does this mean that we get to have another blogger ethics panel?

    He deleted my comment too. To be fair, the comment boiled down to “you aren’t very bright, are you?”, so I guess I can’t blame him.

    I think the fact that there haven’t really been any blogger ethics panels should be reviewed by the blogger ethics panel…

    Yeah, my comment was “it’s satire you clod.” So maybe we clued him in.

    my comment was “my god, you’re an idiot”

    but, he probably considered that too obvious to waste precious database space on.

    You need a blogger satire panel, to introduce bloggers to the oh-so-important sarcasm-detecting skill set.

    I swear, how can anyone even spoof these people anymore?

    O/T. We’re totally boned.

    Bush: U.S. is not headed for recession

    WASHINGTON – President Bush said Thursday the country is not recession-bound and, despite expressing concern about slowing economic growth, rejected for now any additional stimulus efforts. “We acted robustly,” he said.

    “We’ll see the effects of this pro-growth package,” Bush told reporters at a White House news conference, acknowledging that some lawmakers already are talking about a second stimulus package. “Why don’t we let stimulus package 1, which seemed like a good idea at the time, have a chance to kick in?”

    Shorter GW: You guys may all be totally fucked, but this time next year, I’ll be sunning it up in Paraguay.

    That’s not off-topic — we were discussing the inability of some rightards to detect irony and satire!

    Good Lord, he’s too stupid to follow GOPSOP and claim Marshall’s lying.

    I love the smell of Brown Squirt flop sweat in the morning.
