Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

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

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

No one could have predicted…

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

    “I hope I’ll have two asterisks: one is ‘They impeached him,” and the other is ‘He stood up to them and beat them and he beat them like a yard dog.'”

    Yes, I would have preferred if Clinton had been more liberal, this is what I want to hear from Dems.

    I’d always heard “redheaded stepchild”, so animal abuse is moving in the right direction away from beating children.

    I just threw up a little. With all the other crap going on in the world right now, Politico is rehashing a decade old sex scandal. Seriously? ffs, If Politico wants to talk sex, there have been more interesting sex scandals in The Family DC compound in the last 10 months. I need more alcohol. And more pics of cute pets.

    They could only afford to bus in 3,000 people!!! Come on, they’re just not trying hard enough.

    On Tuesday, right-wing billionaire David Koch’s Americans for Prosperity (AFP) organized yet another anti-health reform rally on Capitol Hill.

    At this point in time, any rehashing of this crap is meant to undermine Hillary as SoS.

    Jim DeMint and Lanny Davis have done that already.

    One question: Does anyone know who funds Politico? Because they came out of nowhere a few years ago (at least I didn’t know about them, but then, I have hate affair with the American press, so…) Some of this crap is Atwater worthy.

    Always like it when Bill stomps on reporters. The quote reminded me of the Chris Wallace interview back in 2006.

    @Emma:

    The guy (primary guy?) who owns it comes from the family that owned the Washington Star (where people like M. Dowd got her start) and has donated (heavily?) to Republican causes over the years.

    And here’s some more of the quality tweeting you can expect from Politico.
