Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

This really is a full service blog.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

He really is that stupid.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Red State Brings The Funny

Every now and then, the folks at Red State say something that has me laughing with them, and this is one of those times. Dan McLaughlin, reacting to this claim by a Bishop that those who avoid climate change are as bad as the Austrian “Horror Dad”:

People Who Use Bad Analogies Are Just Like Child Rapists

Heh.

    Ok, that was clever. And the Bishop should just be ignored.

    Definitely an attempt to make a powerful, topical point that went awry.

    I don’t know Dan. So, I really don’t know if he’s just like a child rapist or not. But, I’ll take his word for it.

    Well, I’ve gotten word that there is a video showing Larry Johnson fellating a 8 year old so anything is possible.

    a video showing Larry Johnson fellating a 8 year old

    That was part of his training.

    He failed, btw.

    There should be a license to make analogies, much in the way that we issue licenses to people who carry concealed weapons. They are just too harmful in the hands of inexperienced or reckless individuals.

    That said, I do applaud FOX News for coming as close as they are physically capable of to talking about Climate Change. A shame they have to take such a mean-spirited and offensive swipe at people of faith.

    Not that I’m claiming Larry Johnson is a pedophile, but did I mention he kind of reminds me of one?

    Sounds like you were a pretty discerning eight year old.

    It’s hard for me to get past the fact that, lately, TalkLeft makes RedState look like a model for sanity and moderation.

    OT, I don’t really read Drudge, but this from Politico is interesting, the republicans are losing Drudge?

    I thought bad analogies were one of the founding principles of internet discussion threads. I’m pretty sure a thread cannot exist without at least one.

    Seems that Godwin defined the archetype of bad analogies.

    Maybe he just wanted to make sure that she couldn’t get an abortion?

    Well, I’ve gotten word that there is a video showing Larry Johnson fellating a 8 year old so anything is possible.

    But will RedState let Larry Johnson write for them when he becomes a Republican (about 3 months from now), or do they have some standards?

    RedState:

    People Who Use Bad Analogies Are Just Like Child Rapists

    It is a pretty good line. The problem is, I suspect RedState real belief is:

    People Who Aren’t Right Wing Neocons Are Just Like Child Rapists

    So the Entire Rightwing Blogathon should be on the National Sex Offender Registry list?
