Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

And so it is for the politically and morally bankrupt Kevin McCarthy.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

A consequence of cucumbers

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

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

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

    I really have to wonder if Stewart will hang it up for a while after January simply because there will be fewer easy targets.

    In other news, scientists are not happy with McCain’s planetarium bashing.

    That was a brutal segment. McCain used to be a frequent guest on The Daily Show; I’m guessing that those days might be over.

    Come on, we’re talking about democrats here. They’ll bring all kinds of teh stupid. It just won’t be jaw droppingly stupid as wingnuts. In any case, we know that wingnuts will provide plenty of entertainment for us over at red state. Erick is probably doing crack just so that he can hold on to the conservative vision of the country that’s slipping from his grasp.

    Conceit much?

    While I am 101% sure that the most important thing to do (perhaps in my whole life) is to thow the current fuckers out, I don’t imagine that the new fuckers won’t even do amusing stuff.

    If the D team can keep it to "plenty of material for the comedians" and steer clear of the torture, spying, gutting the constitution and starting wars just for the shit of it, then it is a win.

    OMG, that was really funny. Almost makes me want cable again. But how many people realize this is a reference to Stevie Wonder’s "Songs in the Key of Life"?

    I dunno, re: that Newsmax link… I guess it was a tiny bit of a gaffe by Liz Trotta to refer to Palin’s child as ‘it’, but then John Perry leaps from that to hysterics – "OMG LIBERALS HATE BABIES! LIBERALS HATE PALIN BECAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN FAMILY VALUES, GOD, APPLE PIE AND AMERICA!!!!"

    conservatism really is a pathology, isn’t it?

    @r€nato: Pretty much. I saw it as right down the center of the wingnut highway: fauxrage, persecution, and rage. Jesus, they’re blaming black people for the sub-prime disaster! It’s like the war on Christmas and everything else. Liberals: weak and disorganized, except they’re about to take over the world.

    Also.

    I always thought the makers of Snausages should do an ad reworking Naked Eyes "Promises Promises". (A dog singing "you gave me … Snausages Snausages" would be amazing.)

    But now I think they should just hire McCain as their official spokespol after the campaign, a la Viagra & Bob Dole.

    Have you seen this clip? It’s a supporter at a McCain rally who rants about his rage at the socialists who are taking over our government in true psychotic homeless guy fashion, leading to a crowd chanting "USA! USA!" as Senator McCain expresses his approval. Truly disturbing — some of these people have clearly gone around the bend.

    I also got a laugh out of the fact that throughout this 2-minute clip (and presumably throughout the rest of their broadcast day), Fox News keeps a picture of William Ayers up in screen for no discernable reason whatsoever. Just in case we might forget. Batshit insane does not begin to describe these people.

    I’m just surprised a picture of Paris Hilton wasn’t in the other corner. What a fucking sham of a network they are.

    Odd that, inasmuch as it’s a Republican administration that finds it necessary to nationalize large segments of the financial sector.

    One thing I hope is that Fox’s numbers tank after the election. I would love to see that news network die in flames. I don’t mind if the whole network did as well; sweet revenge for canceling firefly. Fuckers.

    It was pretty nice on Wednesday, when just about the first thing Chalfie did after getting the Nobel Chemistry prize was use the accompanying press attention to endorse Obama – making the count now 63 Nobelists for Obama and none for McCain, a result even more lopsided than the Economist‘s survey of the preferences of economists.

    Expect their numbers to improve post-election. Nothing motivates the right-wingnuts like a negro Democrat in the White House. About the only thing that will kill Fox News is Hannity coming out of the closet and demanding they honor his contract.

    It’s a fact that educated minds have a well-known liberal bias.

    @MikeL:
    This is even better than that story:

    Why Obama Can’t Close the Deal

    John Zogby’s poll numbers, in my opinion, are the best in the business.

    I don’t know who this guy is, but he’s a laugh riot. He has another article on why McCain won the debate–in short: Obama won too hard, and Americans don’t like people who run up the score!

    Yeah, McCain wondering in the background made for lots of head-shaking in our household. And then that gesture he made with his hand was really weird. Who was he looking at? Brokaw? His wife?

    The funniest TDS bit ever was a few years back when they did the special report on gay marriage. I just about pee myself laughing whenever I watch it. (If the link doesn’t work, google "homometer.")
