Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He really is that stupid.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

This fight is for everything.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Republicans in disarray!

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

    Kids, talk to your parents. Now.

    Last debate tonight. This one might be too embarassing to sit through. McCain’s been looking ready for the home on TV lately.

    This whole thing with Team McCain telegraphing their punches re: bringing up Ayers at the debate is mind-boggling. It seems Johnny Drama has no choice to bring it up himself if Scheiffer doesn’t raise it. Surely Obama has a ready-made response in any case.

    I guess he’s trying to show he’s a tough guy, but when most of the polls are indicating that this kind of thing is turning people off, he looks a lot closer to an idiot.

    @Carnacki:

    There would be some sweet justice if Obama/Biden won WV, but I’m very skeptical. Still, the fact that it’s even being discussed is awesome news for John McCain.

    @SpotWeld: I have no idea what that means.

    @Comrade Jake: Bob Schieffer will be overtly hostile to Obama tonight. His treatment of this campaign has been terrible, and I have been consistently appalled every Sunday morning.

    Bob Schieffer will be overtly hostile to Obama tonight.

    Well, good. As we’ve seen, the more Sen. Obama is attacked, the better he looks, and his favorability rating only rises. If Schieffer and McCain are both hammering on him, he’ll look like the only positive, realistic, calm, responsible adult in the room.

    I hope.

    "Moggy" is a (mosly UK) nickname for a cat.
    It was a (perhaps poor) atttempt on my part to equate you to a little old lady to like to talk about her kitties.

    No, not weak. Just British.

    Isn’t that kind of what happened with the last debate when whats-his-name kept barking at Obama about the time but let McCain ramble? I do agree that Obama can more than hold his own in a 2-on-1 situation. He’s the champ.

    I thought Moggy was Austalian – a folk singer- can’t recall who- had a song about a road-killed kitty with the lines

    "He’s nobody’s Moggy
    He’s red and squashed and soggy
    And he’s nobody’s Moggy anymore"

    Uh, sorry, can’t comment much, I’m too busy staring at the fuzzy kitty belly. Must. Scratch. Belly. The power of the belly commands me.

    I did a double take when I saw your cat. He/she/it is an almost exact clone of my 7 1/2 year old tabby, Scooter (not named after Libby!) Same markings same g-normous gut same sleeping position, same expression.

    Felt as though there’d been a catnapping. Oh, but there is a cat napping, LOL

    Someone needs to put that Chunkmeister Putty-Tat on an high protein, canned food only diet. He’s a tank.

    Like Kritter, I thought my cat had been catnapped too. I can’t find any immediate evidence to prove the pictured kitteh is not my Hitchcock. Right down to the M for Moggy they’re virtually identical.

    Hey! That’s my Gus. Aw.

    His gut isn’t as large as it seems in the photo (must be the horizontal stripes).

    @KRK:

    He’s a CUTE tank, though! :) Very loveable!
