Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

    Why does Sarah Palin want us to lose the war on terra?

    nice.

    regardless, what you forgot though is the fact that she was in kuwait which is next door to iraq. that means, she knows the US policies on the middle east. you should give her some credit, man!

    Leonard Pitts took conservatives to the woodshed today. And it was fun to read.

    Except that she could see Iraq from where she was in Kuwait, so really, she knows Iraq every bit as well as Maliki does.

    Mudflats reports that Alaska held their biggest political rally on the front lawn of the Anchorage library.
    The photos are great.
    If Sarah can’t sell herself to the grassroots folks in her home state, it doesn’t seem likely that the lower 48 will be buying either.

    I forgot she could see Iraq from Kuwait. I stand corrected!

    Just heard on a show on the Food Network called Food Detectives that eating poppy seeds can cause a failed drug test … but you have to eat 5 or more poppy seed bagels. They did a scientific test and everything.

    Also, more to the point, Michelle Obama is going to be on Paula Deen’s show next Saturday at 7:00 PM EDT. Will Cindy McCain or Sarah Palin get similar invitations?

    Michelle Obama is going to be on Paula Deen’s show next Saturday

    I wish they’d send Michelle out more. It might defuse some of the “I like Sarah Palin because it would be cool to have a hockey mom in the White House!”

    Michael,

    She also looked through the window while the plane was in there air. Did you add all those countries as well?

    More importantly, she hasn’t been to Germany. Maybe the McCain/Palin ticket has written off Germany, kinda like Obama/Biden appears to have written off Georgia.

    Don’t forget Poland. She hasn’t been there either.

    Can a republican ticket win the election while ignoring Poland? I don’t think so.
