Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The words do not have to be perfect.

In my day, never was longer.

Second rate reporter says what?

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The revolution will be supervised.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

Republicans don’t trust women.

Let there be snark.

    Not watching the debate, the head story on both CNN and MSNBC is about Joe Paterno and the Penn State horror story.

    I know we’ve talked about it ad nosum, but this story is just heartwrenching and disgusting. No one who see a child being harmed should take a blind eye and not go above and beyond to report and ensure the child and future children’s protection from a predator.

    Damn, football victories do not take precedent over the protection and well-being of our children…I dont’ care how many wins you have!

    A colleague of mine is at the debate. he’s a journalism student and won tickets. He gets to do a meet/greet with the candidates. He’s a young Dem so I’m looking forward to his impressions.

    As they say in that song: I’ll be there.

    This is some new definition of “win” — from opposite world, maybe? — with which I’m not familiar. It sounds like torture.

    Of all the things one could win — Powerball, a trip to Bermuda, a horse race, etc — meeting the Republican primary candidates has to rank right down there with STDs.

    I’ll be the dufus with a camera. Maybe a mortgage pig shirt if I can find it. I hope you appreciate that I’m giving up valuable Skyrim time for this.

    Look at it this way: he’s a part time custodian and the alternative to the debate was a shift cleaning 11 bathrooms in an elementary school. I know, tossup.

    I’ll figure out some way to make myself recognizable.

    You’ll be the guy pretending to be Reality Check?

    That pink leather jacket you wore in San Francisco worked pretty well.

    We need to have a Balloon Juice meetup in Louisville or Cinn. I know there are several of us in the area.
