Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

I really should read my own blog.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Consistently wrong since 2002

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Come on, man.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Was It Over When The Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor

This post is in: Teabagger Stupidity

We’re going to get to see how desperately Joe Miller wants to avoid getting a real job:

The Alaska Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a lower court decision in the disputed U.S. Senate race, saying the state correctly counted write-in votes for Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

It is now up to Republican Joe Miller to decide if the election is finally over.

The court said in its ruling that it found “no remaining issues raised by Miller that prevent this election from being certified.”

We have Joe Miller to thank for Murkowski’s votes lately, so I’m kind of hoping this tea party shit show fail parade keeps on keeping on for a bit longer.

    Who could have figured that one dumb and stubborn teabagger from Alaska could do so much damage? He deserves a statue– Joe Miller on a horse. Or something.

    If the teabaggers manage to drive a wedge between the moderate Repubs and some of the crazies coming in–awesome.

    That we’ve been able to pass as much good legislation in this lame duck session is also awesome. That the Repubs were willing to obstruct non-partisan, no-brainers like START means the next two years are gonna be real interesting.

    But that’s next year. Right now, I gotta give it up for Obama, Reid, and Pelosi–I didn’t think this much would get done.

    We’ll see what he says about the next bee in the bonnet of the firetards. Will he say, “gosh, I was wrong about him last time, maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt, at least for a little while.”

    Anybody want to give odds on which he’ll do?

    Poor Joe. He has to be the most disappointed candidate of 2010. After the primary, you’ve gotta figure he was already picking out curtains for his new office in DC.

    And then to discover that Alaskans could spell — talk about a shock.

    I hear Miller has retained Norm Coleman in an advisory capacity.

    I’m waiting for Joe Miller to announce that one of the Palin daughters has been chosen by God to be his next “sister-wife”. If he’s having a good day, he’ll leave the poor girl a ranting voicemail message before scheduling the media event. Then Sarah will hold her own presser, and blame the whole thing on Joe McGinnis, or possibly Levi Johnston’s new girlfriend…

    I like to imagine a soon-to-happen conversation between Lisa Murkowski and Jim DeMint:

    Murkowski: I’ll vote the way I want, Jim. If you don’t like it, fuck you.

    DeMint: Ladies shouldn’t use that kind of language.

    Murkowski: I’m not a lady, I’m a US Senator, you motherfucker. And don’t you forget it.

    Though I suppose it’s too much to ask for this to be captured on film.

    Funny image, Anne Laurie! (Although if Miller happens to be a USAF Acad. grad, he might call Bristol his “Sheep-wife”!)

    A bit off topic, but is that whole Miami Vice beard-thing just an affectation, or does Miller have some sort of skin condition that requires him to go unshaven on national TV day after day? Did someone tell him he looked cute like that? Well, if he truly disappears from whence he came (I doubt he will), then good riddance!
