Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Be a wild strawberry.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The willow is too close to the house.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

You cannot shame the shameless.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Let there be snark.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

I really should read my own blog.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

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.
