Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republicans in disarray!

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

    It actually sounds more plausible, put that way. The real birthers could never be that concise and coherent.

    For once, I hope Armbinder is right.

    The worst thing that could have happened to Democrats — and the one thing that needed to happen in order to kill health reform — did not happen. The Democrats held together. Moderates were not intimidated. Don’t confuse their constituent meeting pander with changed minds.

    it’s amazing to see how perplexed the villagers are by the behavior of the reichwing. this school hoohaw has finally made clear to them the level of insanity — and the danger the right pose if left unaddressed.

    they really are getting nervous, too. joe klein was clearly freaked by his travel to townhalls recently.

    Hail Satan! Indeed.

    @General Winfield Stuck: I enjoyed the whole article. And once again, via our precious school children, Obama marginalizes the right even more. The MSM tonight is filled with how ridiculous the ‘controversy’ was. NBC Nightly News had a quote from a 12 year old the pretty much said it all (at 2:46)

    (hope the link works).

    I like the concept..

    But it’s a bit long and too derivative of South Park’s Scientology sketch.

    With a little polish it could be even better.

    Weird phone poll from some Billy Bob claimi g to be from the NRA. “How do you feel about the UN’s plan to ban all guns in america?”

    my explictives and hoots of laughter answered his question.

    Sent it to a conservative friend as a joke – sadly, all they said was “they’re right about the socialist hellhole” – that’s the problem with Republicans – no sense of humor.

    In the Middle Ages (starting in the 12th or 13th century) a similar tale was told of King Arthur’s advisor Merlin the magican. You can find it in the Old French “Prose Merlin” of Robert de Boron (the same author who came up with the Arthurian legend of the Holy Grail). According to this tale, a council of demons planned to counter the birth of Jesus by sending a devil to impregnate a Welsh princess. The child, half devil and half human, was supposed to become the Antichrist.
    Instead, because of his mother’s piety and virtue, he became a powerful being on the side of good.
    That last part seems to be too sophisticated a twist for the birthers, but they got the rest of it pretty well.

    This tape proves it!

    The birthers are from the future, of a VERY alternative universe, and have come back to warn the CRAZIES!!

    Oh, but the people calling Obama a Commie aren’t racist, not at all — just because they (or their spiritual forebears) were saying the same sort of crap about Dr. King and the civil rights movement forty years ago:
