Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

How stupid are these people?

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

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

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

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

Petty moves from a petty man.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

So very ready.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

This fight is for everything.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

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…
