Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

The National Guard is not Batman.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

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

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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.

    Sake, and ‘sparkling wine’ for later. And Vodka if it goes the other way.

    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!
