Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

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

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Second rate reporter says what?

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

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

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

Let there be snark.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Not all heroes wear capes.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

A research team from the Psychology Department at New York University, headed by Professor Yaacov Trope and supported by the National Science Foundation, is investigating the cognitive causes of voting behavior, political preferences, and candidate evaluations throughout the course of the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. This stage of the study focuses on the information people use to inform evaluations during the last few weeks before the election. They seek respondents of all political leanings from all over the country (and from the rest of the world) to complete a 15-minute questionnaire, the responses to which will be completely anonymous.

If you are interested, the survey is here.

As a side note, you have no idea how hard it is to get people to volunteer to provide reliable data so folks can conduct this kind of social science, so if you have 15-20 minutes to spare to answer the questions, please do so.

*** Update ***

As requested by the study authors, I have turned off comments so as to not compromise the integrity of the study.
