Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

This really is a full service blog.

I was promised a recession.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The willow is too close to the house.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

One White Russian, two beers, and two vodka martinis later, as well as a filet and some asparagus and some garlic mashed potatoes, and I am ready for results.

So we have Vermont right now.

    two things i can’t believe:

    one – the networks are calling kentucky for mcmuffin, with only 10% of the exit polls having mcmuffin 52% to obama 47%. a bit premature, nes c’est pas?

    and two – what the hell is michelle malkin’s picture doing on this blog?

    Leftover fried rice and roast chicken, and water for the moment–have to rehydrate after a day in the classroom. But I’ve got a big St. Bernardus in the fridge, ready to pop at the proper moment.

    I earlier suggested the server hosting the dKos tracker is bulletproof; current response time is suggesting that the netroots may be testing its armor-piercing ammo.

    Why are you suppressing my two attempted posts in previous thread alleging that you have on clown shoes tonight? Are those the trip words?
    Mmmmmmmm…garlic mashed potatoes! Filet, asparagus.
    I just ate a whole bag of Snyder’s Butter Snaps.
    I will not be bitter tonight!!

    Why are you suppressing my two attempted posts in previous thread alleging that you have on "shoes that befit a hobo" tonight? Are those the trip words? (apparently so, since I can’t say those two words and stay out of moderated prison spanking hell.)

    @D-Chance.: I’d have applauded if she’d have said, first thing, "Help Me Wolfie-wan. You’re our only hope." Instead we get this lame reference later.

    Whoa.
    Now I’m feeling just super neurotic. 4 posts to moderation and two suddenly showing.
    I look like such an idiot.
    That can be rhetorical.

    Indiana is way too close. GAH!

    Mary, that’s supposed to be a good thing.

    From Kos’ Front Page:

    If Indiana is announced too close to call when polls close this year, it will be an indicator that Barack Obama is headed for a similar landslide victory himself, even if he isn’t quite able to carry the state.

    My parents are in indiana, and they are on teh edge of their seats! My mom goes between panic and hope everytime she sees the results. Sometimes McCain is ahead, and sometimes Obama is. It’s quite taxing on teh nervers. My mom really wants the MUP to win!
