Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Everybody saw this coming.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

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

So many bastards, so little time.

How stupid are these people?

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Maybe This One Will Stick

Moran:

The Conservative Party candidate is conceding the race for New York’s 23rd District for the second time, saying he doesn’t have enough votes.

Doug Hoffman had withdrawn his first concession to Democratic Rep. Bill Owens, saying the race was close enough that absentee ballots could change the outcome in the closely watched New York Congressional race.

Now, Hoffman said he has no hope of winning.

Guy sure is quick on the uptake.

Also, Acorn.

    Palin = Hoffman
    Mittens = Scozzafava
    2012 = NY23 2009

    Obama = Re-elected

    I don’t blame Hoffman. As it turned out, the election was really close, and he could have won on the absentee ballots.

    Getting the vote count right, having an outcome that comports with the public’s will, is the most important thing.

    I thought this in 2000, and I still do.

    Losing will usually cause that to happen.

    @joe from Lowell:

    The repeated concessions and unconcessions, plus the stock Republican accusations that “ACORN made us lose!” crap is still hardly noble looking.

    Now, Hoffman said he has no hope of winning.

    In Hoffman’s defense, Fox News made it seem like he had a lot more supporters with clever editing.

    At least Hoffman has lots of new friends to help carry home all those bags of No Hope. That shit is heavy.

    @joe from Lowell:
    The vote was close, but the odds against the absentees giving Hoffman the victory were very high. After fixing the mistakes the election night total was about +3K for Owens with about 10K absentee ballots sent out (though nowhere near that many returned). In a race where presumably most of the absentee ballots sent out were returned before Scozzafava (or however you spell it) dropped out, it’s very unlikely that Hoffman gets the 3K+plurality of the remaning votes.
