Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

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

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

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

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

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

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

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

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

    Except for the three “help me!” posts on the blog.

    BattleCat thinks those are pretty obvious.

    Fixed it!

    Maybe you can help the RNC out with their broken Presidential nominating process. They’re probably hiring, and Lord knows they got the cash to pay.

    On a related note, who wants to lay odds on the next GOP flavor of the week once Herman “Iraq-War-Worth-It-And-The-Middle-Class-Should-Just-Buy-Used-Goods” Cain loses his luster?

    I’m thinking it goes back to Perry. Then back to Bachmann. Then back to Cain. Then Gingrich for about two hours on a Tuesday afternoon, which is about as long as it takes even the most ardent wingnut to remember that he’s a self-important blowhard. Then back to Perry. Then Santorum finds himself ahead in the polls and praises Baby Jesus, only to find that it was just a tease by the Jew-run “liberal” media and bows out of the race. Then back to Bachmann. Then to Ron Paul because, hey, at this point, why the fuck not? Then Tim Pawlenty commits ritual suicide for bowing out of this cluster-fuck way too early, upon which he becomes the front runner. Then it becomes a five way tie between Perry, Cain, Bachmann, Ron Paul, and Tim Pawlenty’s ghost.

    Finally everyone says, “Oh, fuck it. Romney.”

    @amk: Very interesting. I think most of us realized that the articles on the President tended to be more negative but it was good to see it in print. The last statement says it all..

    But Jane Hall, a journalism professor at American University who specializes in the intersection between media and politics, disagrees………………………………
    “I think Obama has looked thin-skinned when he criticized the media and criticized Fox,” she said. “For him to say ‘the media don’t’ like me,’ I just don’t think you ever win if you are a Democrat and say that, as much as you do if you’re a Republican.”

    @Raven (formerly stuckinred): have I mentioned arnica gel? Arniflora is a widely carried brand, available at most health food stores. Not to be used on broken skin – since I don’t know the nature of the injury. Hope it improves.
