Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

The lights are all blinking red.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

White supremacy is terrorism.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Everyone is linking to this Presidential Watch ’08 map of the blogs, so here is where we are:

I cropped it to fit the page and cut out some of the outliers, so go here to see the whole thing.

    I’ve been looking through the information that accompanies this map, and it seems straightforward, all except how sites are categorized. Is it John’s (and Tim F.’s and Michael D.’s) support for Obama that makes BJ blue? Because the PresidentialWatch folks seem to use Democratic/Progressive and Republican/Conservative interchangeably, but I’d guess John would call himself a conservative Democrat; I imagine there might be other sites run by liberal supporters of McCain (as strange as that may sound. . .)

    Powerline qualifies as an infopit? Are we sure about that?

    Well, Powerline is a pit, so it’s half right.

    Soon the mass of Balloon Juice will start drawing other blogs to it. Once that process begins the event horizon of BJ will expand until there is only One Blog.
    I for one welcome our new blogging masters.

    Wow. It looks like Balloon Juice is the centre of the Universe.

    Admit it. Who did you sleep with John? Wait. Let me rephrase that. Replace the Who with How many

    So… what the HELL is an “Infopit”? I searched the website, and it’s not defined. Sounds like “infodump” or something bad, but I can’t tell!

    They must’ve generally stuck to the more mainstream sites as far as the ones considered “left” in compiling this, because High Clearing & this site are the only ones I go to regularly listed. They do include Lew Rockwell & Antiwar.com as far as the conservative ones though, so whatever…
