Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Second rate reporter says what?

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

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

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

“Yes, we are so stupid we believe anything we see on the internet.”

Sorry, folks, the “whitey” rant is all a hoax. However, I bet if you check with some more reputable sources, you can find the real truth about Obama’s gay affair with Larry Sinclair. Plus, I once heard a rumor Obama was a space alien. And before anyone gets too worked up, Johnny Cash didn’t actually kill a man in Reno just to watch him die.

I am sure it is just a coincidence that all these morons are McCain voters.

    The link to Jake Tapper’s piece in that sentence leads to some pretty good comedy, not the least of which is Tapper counting down at the end of his article to what he figures is inevitable batshittery in the comments. And sure enough, right on his cue, the monkey feces flies in every direction.

    And so it ends, as America once again utters a collective "who is he talking about?".

    I am horrified at the utter ineptitude of McCain’s campaign and really gotta wonder who is calling the shots over there – playing to the base isn’t going to help his sagging numbers, and Ayers/Rezko/Wright isn’t getting any traction with the independents at all. Seemingly the opposite. I guess McCain can’t talk about the issues because he loses on those, but since that’s the case he might as well save a bit of cash and just concede tonight.

    The real blockbuster in this story is that Sotero adopted Obama in Indonesia. Since Obama’s mother was underage (according to US law), this would mean Obama thereupon lost his US citizenship (assuming he had it in the first place). This would be a constitutional disqualification of his candidacy.

    Good point. We haven’t seen a shred of evidence that this story is bogus. I hope the Maverick finally takes the gloves off and mentions this article at least 15 times in the debate tonight. It’ll be the game-changer he needs.

    I just hope that McCain and his campaign take the advice of the Nutters and go on the attack tonight. He should mention Ayers and Wright and Odinga and anyone else they can come up with. Obama will be able to compare his substantive campaign to the fear-mongering of his opponent.

    I think it’s hilarious that the Right Wing blogoshphere is adamant in its belief that the only way McCain can win is to make McCain into a candidate that only the most extreme right wingers would like. Talk about living in a bubble.

Did anyone catch what set him off? The gentleman who remained (whose name I missed) was backing Obama despite self-identifying as a conservative, so I have to assume the miffed guest was a McCain-backer.

    A great example of wingnut logic: A caller to a talk show berated the host for saying bad things about Sarah Palin when Corsi had "proved" bad crap about Obama (this alone is crazy illogic). The host asked how the caller knew this stuff was true. The caller said that he had heard it on the Hannity show and a local conservative talk show. And no place else.

    So, the wingnut true believers get their "facts" from right wing outlets and stop there. Any other media source is "liberal" and "biased." This isn’t "low information." This is "no information."

    The real blockbuster in this story is that Sotero adopted Obama in Indonesia. Since Obama’s mother was underage (according to US law), this would mean Obama thereupon lost his US citizenship (assuming he had it in the first place). This would be a constitutional disqualification of his candidacy.

    More fun from Townhall.com

    American Flag
    At an Ohio campaign stop last week Obama gave a speech with a background of American flags which is quite common. However, if you look closely some of the flags are not American flags. The blue field has been changed to show an Obama seal. Yes, there are also stars but have no pattern and they do not add up to 50. With Obama making his own seal and now this it looks like maybe he is putting some credence to the recent article by Stanley Kurtz in the National Review. Is he planning on creating an African county within the US. I think the presence of these flags should be viewed with alarm. And I don’t want to hear any looney left comments that they are only decoration. They ARE a modification of the American Flag.

    to which a later commenter responds:

    the flag you’re asking about is the state flag of ohio.

    Example here.

    American Flag
    At an Ohio campaign stop last week Obama gave a speech with a background of American flags which is quite common. However, if you look closely some of the flags are not American flags. The blue field has been changed to show an Obama seal. Yes, there are also stars but have no pattern and they do not add up to 50.

    OMG!!!! The nuns would force me to put up that flag everyday at my grade school in Youngstow, Ohio, right under the US flag, and that was in the 1970’s. I never knew it was an Obama flag!

    Can someone explain how looking at that Memeorandum screen cap with one article and a bunch of right wing websites discussing tells me something? Is the implication that if they’re all linking to it, they’re all discussing it and thus implicitly endorsing the main article?

    @El Cid:

    I’m not sure how that website works exactly, but I suspect that’s close. Anyway, read the Tapper article on the subject, and make sure you read the comments. It’s like a goddamn idiot colony over there.

    It tells you that when one wingnut posts what the voices in his head are telling him and then the rest link to it they have, through parthenogenesis, given birth to a new "fact."

    Saying Obama is an alien is utterly absurd, although I am concerned that he wants to give white people anal probes.

    Also, Ohio wasn’t formally admitted to the Union until 1953 (see wingnuts furiously digging through Obama’s ancestry to find relatives who lived in Ohio once to prove he’s not a real American).

    (see wingnuts furiously digging through Obama’s ancestry to find relatives who lived in Ohio once to prove he’s not a real American).

    The paper had a big story 2 weeks ago on family members of his that did live in Ohio a long time ago (before 1953). He still has some distant cousins who were a little surprised that they had a cousin that was just a little darker complection then they see at the old family reunion.

    It’s the Hive instinct that gets them aroused, among other things, that cause them to swarm about and sting whatever they find. Even themselves, when one member holds up it’s appendage to ask a serious question. Kind of Like Africanized Obama Bees.

    @wingnuts to iraq:

    And make a nice link to the Annenberg Challenge and a short biography of Walter Annenberg, the philantropist who funded all that: Creator of TV Guide, ambassador to the United Kingdom under Nixon, and the guy who Ronald Reagan liked to spend New Year’s Eve with.

    Oh, and Annenberg’s widow has endorsed John McCain recently, and was apparently on the board at the same time as Ayers and Obama.

    That sound you hear is the sound of 10,000 Nigerians pecking away at their keyboards sending emails to conservative bloggers about a certain business transaction.

    Well, of course Johnny Cash never shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die!

    [He wound up stuck in Folsom Prison, so he had to have kidnapped him and taken him across the California border before shooting him]
