Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The revolution will be supervised.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

    First of all, (liberals) don’t have the same values and I find that to be a fundamental problem. I know a lot of people are willing to accept that, but I’m not. Their whole world view is different from someone who has conservative values and traditional values as a way of life.

    Being focused on yourself, and your rights, and materialism, and no ultimate sense of morality — because I guess when you believe in a more secular way of life, a more liberal viewpoint, it’s all about what you can do for yourself and how you can be happy…and you don’t have any belief in absolute truth or religious principles to guide how you live.

    I am way past finding this sort of thing shocking, I have relatives who talk exactly this way.

    What troubles me is that we have to share a country with people like this. With people who think the earth is 6000 years old, and then talk disparagingly about what other people think or believe.

    These people are literally intellectual cripples, which is in itself just sad, but what’s scary is that they think being crippled is superior. And we have seen what happens when we let them try to run the country.

    If anyone never needed to understand why there is spoof, and why we win when the line between spoof and right wing politics is blurred, you need look no further than the linked article here.

    Oh.My.Fucking.God.

Whether you’re a conservative or a liberal you’re going to do your best to make the best impression to a women you’re interested in. Unless of course, you’re a complete punk.

    Um, cain. Hint. “Women” is the plural form.

    The females in whom I’ve been interested — admittedly, given my long-term monogamous status, a rather out of date collection, I’m sure — prefer not to be shared. I’ve never done the experiment, at least not at first hand, but I’ve *heard* that this whole “two-timing” business is generally received with a certain amount of disapprobation by a putative love-interest.

    I think the attentions of conservative blog-reading men is an appropriate punishment for being a conservative female blogger.

    Back to the open thread thing, I really wish Davidson had won, and on the .05% chance any Davidson fans are here, I’m really sorry.

    To continue the openness, the Bush administration is evidently proposing a massive financial systems overhaul. Without any investigation whatsoever into what this is, two thoughts. 1. I thought it wasn’t brokee…? and 2. No matter how bad it is, let’s just please wait until the Obama administration. I am sure I have enough canned goods to last me several months and I can hunt, fish, and trap the rest. There are a lot of squirrels around here. So let’s just hold steady. Or, you could try to work for this guy.

    Guess what, you stupid, stupid woman? Your morals are in place because you fear punishment and anticipate some sort of afterlife reward. My morals are in place because I want to be a good person, for its own sake. It’s called a conscience — look into it.

    She may be devout, but she’s rather judgemental for a professed Christian. And she’s lucky she’s not saying that within my earshot, because it would take every moral fibre of my being to not give her a swift kick in the box.

    In the article about female right-wing bloggers and their dating habits, the word “liberal” is mentioned 23 times (the word “conservative” is only mentioned 20 times).

    This must be very comforting to conservative men. There’s no way I’d be worried if my girlfriend told me 23 times in a day how much she does not like muscular black guys. No sireee!

    Looks to me like all the liberals in town already had romps with these girls, but these gals have not been with enough conservative guys to figure out that all of us men are assholes, regardless of party affiliation.

    it’s all about what you can do for yourself and how you can be happy…

    That first part is tattooed on your ass when you become a Republican. The second is straight out of the Declaration of Independence. I’m a fan of the latter. More importantly, I like how self-interest and joy are apparently anti-religious. Why, again, do people go to church?

    and you don’t have any belief in absolute truth or religious principles to guide how you live.

    I’ll have to agree with that one. Today, like most days, I woke up, punched a cat, put toast on my feet, drove into a line of kids on a crosswalk and then polished the golden calf that hangs from my rear view mirror, before threatening an old lady, stealing some candy from a child and screaming at my co-workers.

    Being a polytheist myself, this sort would accuse me of the same thing despite the fact I have an entire freaking committee to deal with instead of a single entity. But then, I don’t think I’ll be doomed to eternal torture in the afterlife if I don’t toe the line, so clearly I’m just as selfish and stupid as an atheist. Pay no attention to the virtues described in the mythology! None of them existed before the Christians invented them (ok, ok, the Jews had them, but they’re imperfect Christians, so says Ann Coulter).

    On my worst days, it sometimes troubles me that I have to share a country with anyone who does not think exactly like I do.

    On the other hand, in the days of my desolate youth, the last thing I cared about was a woman’s ideology.

    Meanwhile, in another corner of the forest, while getting ready this morning, I listened to a snippet of Rush Limbaugh’s Morning update, prattling on about how great the economy is doing, thanks to the Bush Administration fending off all those evil libruls. And then I see these two stories on teh Internets:

    As Jobs Vanish and Prices Rise, Food Stamp Use Nears Record

    Driven by a painful mix of layoffs and rising food and fuel prices, the number of Americans receiving food stamps is projected to reach 28 million in the coming year, the highest level since the aid program began in the 1960s.

    The number of recipients, who must have near-poverty incomes to qualify for benefits averaging $100 a month per family member, has fluctuated over the years along with economic conditions, eligibility rules, enlistment drives and natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, which led to a spike in the South.

    But recent rises in many states appear to be resulting mainly from the economic slowdown, officials and experts say, as well as inflation in prices of basic goods that leave more families feeling pinched. Citing expected growth in unemployment, the Congressional Budget Office this month projected a continued increase in the monthly number of recipients in the next fiscal year, starting Oct. 1 — to 28 million, up from 27.8 million in 2008, and 26.5 million in 2007.

    And from the Beltway, land of milk and cronies,HUD chief quitting, cites family reasons

    The Bush administration’s top housing official, under criminal investigation and intense pressure from Democratic critics, announced Monday he is quitting.

    Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson said his resignation will take effect on April 18. The move comes at a shaky time for the economy and the Bush administration, as the housing industry’s crisis has imperiled the nation’s credit markets and led to a major economic slowdown.

    Jackson, 62, has been fending off allegations of cronyism and favoritism involving HUD contractors for the past two years. The FBI has been examining the ties between Jackson and a friend who was paid $392,000 by Jackson’s department as a construction manager in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

    The HUD chief made no direct mention of that in his resignation statement. Explaining his move, he said: “There comes a time when one must attend more diligently to personal and family matters. Now is such a time for me.”

    He did not take questions or elaborate on the family reasons he cited for the decision. The group assembled to hear Jackson’s statement applauded and he left the room.

    President Bush said he accepted Jackson’s resignation “with regret.”

    “I have known Alphonso Jackson for many years, and I have known him to be a strong leader and a good man,” Bush said in a prepared statement released by the White House.

    Jackson has a friendship with President Bush that dates to the late 1980s, when they lived in the same Dallas neighborhood. He was the first black leader of the housing authority in Dallas and president of American Electric Power-TEXAS in Austin.

    I guess it is a cheer for diversity that Dubya’s cronyism is color blind.

    Being focused on yourself, and your rights, and materialism, and no ultimate sense of morality

    Wait a second. I though that my private property was a good thing. So good, it’s, well sacred. I have the right to defend myself. Second amendment and all that. it’s my right. And that is a good thing.

    My right to advance my own lot in life by working hard to acquire wealth and enjoy the fruits of my labors is a good thing. And my right to make a killing in the stock market and not have to pay capital gains tax — well, sure, you might call that materialistic, but it’s a conservative materialistic viewpoint, and therefore, it’s good.

    I stand strong for conservative values!

    because I guess when you believe in a more secular way of life, a more liberal viewpoint, it’s all about what you can do for yourself and how you can be happy…

    Further, I hate it when those gosh-darn libruls say that the government has a right to take my hard earned money and redistribute it to others who aren’t, you know, deserving. It’s my material wealth that the government is stealing, I tell you — stealing! It’s my private property, I tell you! And private property is sacred! Sacred!

    it’s all about what you can do for yourself and how you can be happy…and you don’t have any belief in absolute truth or religious principles to guide how you live.

    Jebus H., this is a modern conservative worldview, not a liberal one.

    The projection here is total.

    None of the movement conservatives believe in any absolute truth or religious principles, other than doing whatever the fuck they want and whatever the fuck it takes to stay in power. Religious principles are adhered to only when they can be used to further that goal.

    We’ve seen this incredible moral hypocrisy demonstrated over and over again by these people. Just look at their putative leader of this movement, the Born Again and self-described Man of Faith and Compassionate Conservative George W. Bush. Here is a man who insists on the sanctity of life found in a petri dish of stem cells while repeatedly lying to start a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of real human beings, among them tens of thousands of children. Here is a man who claims “we don’t torture”, even though he was responsible for the promulglation of state-sponsored torture. Here is a man who belligerently insists on more and more privacy for what he does as a public servant while eliminating the privacy of private citizens in this country. Here is a man who claims your rights as a citizen are safe while reserving for himself the power to decide which citizens may retain those rights. Here is the man who has called on the young men and women of this nation to leave their families and go enlist and fight in his war, and yet who sought to avoid and successfully avoided fighting in the war of his time. Here is a man who insists that those in the guard and the reserves and elsewhere honor their obligations even as he repeatedly changed the terms to prevent their coming home when their time was done, and yet who had disappeared from his own unit rather than honor his own safe and minimal military obligation.

    Every principle of conservatism, of patriotism, of democracy, of christianity has been twisted and turned inside-out by these fake christian greedy little fucks.

    For people who have demonstrated over and over again their own moral relativity, that their guiding principle is the ends justifies the means, it’s stunning how they simultaneously believe they have a moral superiority.

    But then again, they’re Conservatives. Their capacity for hypocrisy and their inability for introspection, empathy, and self-awareness is legendary.

    “Fuck you I’ve got mine” is the watchword of conservatism. That is their real guide on how to live.

    I went to dinner with a boyfriend and we were just hanging out in the parking lot on a random Sunday night and we ended up getting into a fight and he had this policy of not leaving until we settled it. So, he didn’t want to let me out of the car until we settled this fight.

    That is a recipe for success.

    Good gravy, Sharon Soon’s jumper cable saga is the worst story of all time. Sharon, dear, when you tell that story to someone, the look you see on his or her face is called agony. People often look interested when they’re in physical pain.

    Think someone should tell Ms. Soon and her equally knuckleheaded boyfriend that the trunk of the car is a mighty fine place to store the jumper cables?

    In the house? Both of them? WTF?

    Or is it just too much fun watching them fight about whose house to go to to get the cables?

    We were sitting in the car and I left my car on and when I realized it was going to be a while, I turned my car off. I didn’t realize that my lights were on. My car was parked 3 houses away from my house because I lived with my mother and she had this tendency to look out the window and spy on me. So, two hours later, my car wouldn’t start and it was stuck a block in front of my house.…

    We needed to jump the car with jumper cables, but I couldn’t go in my house and get them. My boyfriend decided we would drive back to his house, which was half an hour away, to get the jumper cables. So, we drove, and couldn’t find the jumper cables. So, we called AAA and were on hold for a while by that point and then AAA hung up on us. We were so tired we slept in the car for a little while. We kept trying to call AAA back, we got them back, and they said they’d be there in 15 minutes. But, we tried the car again and I guess, because it had been 3 or 4 hours, the battery has juiced back up and the car started fine. So, at like 4:30 in the morning, I was able to get my car in the driveway where it belonged and I could go home.

    To recap the incredible true saga of survival against all odds by Ms. Sharon Soon:

    1) She turns her car off, but doesn’t notice the bright headlights are still on. Well, she did have a lengthy fight with the boyfriend to launch into!
    2) She is stuck with her dead-battery car a full three houses….ONE SUBURBAN BLOCK from the sweet embrace of home (which is apparently guarded by Piper Laurie from the movie Carrie)
    3) With absolutely no chance to walk the block to her house and get jumper cables, the young lovers are forced to make a crucial decision….take the one working car that they have and drive a 1/2 hour to the boyfriend’s pad!
    4) To add to the mountain of obstacles Sharon faced, the villains at AAA hung up on her. I probably would have too if this was the story she was peddling.
    5) After enduring a cavalcade of miseries (including sleeping in a car because walking a block back to her home was out of the question), her car miraculously comes back to life…and is able to complete the arduous one-block journey back to home and hearth.

    OK. Either this is some well crafted spoof or it’s all elaborate fRightWing code for “After our argument my boyfriend and I had hot ‘everything except officially violate our chastity vows’ make up sex and fell asleep. Call me!”

    Nom de Pole aside, no red blooded neoconservette would object to a mom keeping an eye on her darling daughter. And if mom were that concerned, she would have noticed that DD didn’t show up until near dawn.

    Mom would also have be stone blind if she didn’t notice a car three houses away that sat there long enough for the lights to drain the batteries and call the cops to report lurking terrists.

    Um, cain. Hint. “Women” is the plural form.

    The females in whom I’ve been interested—admittedly, given my long-term monogamous status, a rather out of date collection, I’m sure—prefer not to be shared. I’ve never done the experiment, at least not at first hand, but I’ve heard that this whole “two-timing” business is generally received with a certain amount of disapprobation by a putative love-interest.

    Man, I mistype ONE letter, and you’re giving me grief. :-) two-timing of course is probably not a great experiment to try. A woman scorned is not one you should trifle with.

    Everyone’s missing far and away the best line:

    My experience with liberals is that superficially, they may be more fun to be around. They’re a bit looser and more relaxed. They make an effort to be more sensitive, but the sensitivity only goes so far. It’s easy for a man to keep this illusion of being a great, sensitive romantic if he knows he’s just going to sleep with you and then say good-bye. Anybody can be Mr. Love God for one night or one week or one month.

    The comments are just a gold mine:

    If you marry a modern liberal or a progressive, then there’s more than a chance that she’s has a victim and/or entitlement mindset. That’s not much of a problem during the good times, but come the bad times, you’re going to join the ranks of the divorced.

    That’s just so bugfuck crazy, it can’t be deconstructed, it just has to be hung there and contemplated. It’s the Warhol’s Soup Can of conservative idiocy.

    But I would have to disagree that a hallmark of liberalism is the arrogant dismissal of new ideas. I think that is a hallmark of far left liberals like those at the Kos.

    If this is true, then it’s time for a language re-alignment. Liberals will have to be renamed “Liberal Conservatives” and the people we now call conservatives can be… I dunno… the Counter-Revolutionary Front?

    This looks like a good moment to remind that the human sexual organ is between the ears, not the legs. She can be an 11/10 on the scale of sheer total hotness, but if her brain’s addled, she’ll also be a bad lay. (Rule of thumb: the easier girls are, the worse they are in bed.)

    This one starts out good, then dissolves into a puddle of sex-obsessed jackassedness.

    See, that’s the problem, there is no such thing as a classy liberal female. There’s classy females, and liberal females.

    A person who makes this statement knows from classy?

    Oh, but it is. Liberalism, as a disorder, combines elements of psychological projection, narcissistic personality disorder and ADD/ADHD. Those who suffer from it are simultaneously convinced that they are the center of the universe and not responsible for their own actions. It’s really quite fascinating, from a psychological standpoint.

    Physician, heal thyself.

    Whoops, looks like he isn’t qualified to do that!

    I only minored in [psychology] (undeclared at the end, sadly, because I didn’t want to deal with the bureaucracy), but have kept up with my reading, especially over the last eight years of studying Liberals. My conclusion: you’re friggin’ nuts!

    Huh. I bet he thought he was being funny or something there.

    I tend not to date liberals, for a reason. Politics is so important to what I do and I follow it so much. I can’t respect a guy who’s liberal all that much because it makes me question his intelligence. So, that’s a big minus because I’m thinking how smart can this guy be if he thinks John Kerry is a great politician? (Laughs) If he thinks Barack Obama would be a great President, I think, gee, how bright could this guy be?

    We were fighting for like another 2 hours. …We were sitting in the car and I left my car on and when I realized it was going to be a while, I turned my car off. I didn’t realize that my lights were on. My car was parked 3 houses away from my house because I lived with my mother and she had this tendency to look out the window and spy on me.

    Well, Dawn Eden the-born-again-virgin apparently was a rock journalist and hung out with a lot of touring bands when she was in her twenties. Then she edged over thirty and started talking about how wonderful chastity is.
