Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Maybe the Most Perfect Wingnut Paragraph Ever

Joe Kovacs at Wingnut Daily:

Medical examiners in Los Angeles are investigating the possible poisoning death of one of their own officials who may have worked on the case of Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand who died March 1, the same day Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced probable cause for forgery in President Obama’s birth certificate.

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

    That’s an awful lot of crazy to cram into a single sentence. What, exactly, is it supposed to mean? “Someone” had this coroner whacked, presumably someone connected to the nefarious Obama Chicago gang. The whacking is presumably to cover up the fact that Breitbart was himself whacked. And this, therefore and inescapably, has something to do with a completely separate (and still living) wingnut who announced on the same day that he was a moron.

    Yes, makes perfect sense.

    The “Ron Brown’s body had a bullet hole in his head” conspiracy theory remains my benchmark for crackpottery. To believe this, you have to believe that an assassin got on the plane, shot him, and then crashed the plane to get rid of the witnesses (presumably including one not-too-bright assassin?).

    The part I could never figure out: if you’re going to crash the plane to get rid of the witnesses, WHAT’S THE POINT OF SHOOTING HIM? he can only die once.

    It’s still unclear if Cormier personally worked on the probe into Breitbart’s death, and WND has left messages with the coroner’s office seeking comment.

    15 million people live in LA. Couldn’t be a personal grudge.

    No indication of marital or relationship status.

    No ruling of accidental death yet and won’t know for five weeks.

    Coroner in LA County mysteriously dying that may or may not be covering up Breitbart’s murder? SEEMS LEGIT!

    And a day after the press corp dinner, at which NObama included a shout out to dirty internet bloggers, we see this frightening news on Yahoo front page.

    Washington gala haters flock to Twitter

    A ritual of many who don’t go to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is to blast those who do.
    http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/white-house-correspondents-dinner-party-twitter-loves-hate-182932546.html

    Coincidence? I think not. NObama was clearly sending a secret signal to his totalitarian social media hordes to silence Fox News.

    And, I note the story has a pic of Blitzer with hot babe, and Blitzer looks, again, like he is on a zombie drug.

    So, presumably the same nefarious hit squad that took about Breitbart and this coroner who was about to blow the whistle on the coverup is still around. And equally presumably, their mission is to maintain the coverup.

    Therefore, we can all expect to see Jerome Corsi die in a hilariously ironic fashion by roughly Thursday. Unless, of course, Corsi is working for Obama as a mole in the conservative movement, with the mission of discrediting everything that comes out of World Net Daily.

    @cathyx:
    Maybe they should have produced a more convincing forgery. Given that Obama controls the whole Hawaii state government, how hard could it be for him to get a CIA quality forgery long form birth certificate put into the vault in Hawaii. Then he could finally put the whole thing to rest with a long form vault copy. Obviously, he’s just keeping the birth certificate issue alive to prevent people from paying attention to something even worse.

    No, no. Killing Arpaio, even with something subtle like a heart attack, would have triggered a massive wingnut freakout. Birtherism is like a hydra. When you hack off one head of the investigation, two new ones spring up, plus maybe a couple more to investigate what happened to the old one.

    @JPL:
    I think the more traditional description of Lovecraft’s writing is “weird fiction”, which is more or less at the intersection of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. The basic idea is that our world is far stranger and more dangerous that people realize, but that ordinary people are prevented from realizing this because encounters with the strange, dangerous side of the world tend to drive people out of their minds. His writing style is far more turgid than is popular today, which is probably what triggered the Lovecraft rating for this passage.

    Regarding the late blogger Jon Swift (in real life, Al Weisel), no one would have ever known he passed away, were it not for his mother posting a comment* in his final blog post shortly after the funeral. Apparently his family was not aware of just how popular he was on the intertoobz (shades of the late Steve Gilliard there).

    Ironically, that final Swift/Weisel post was in honor of a personal tragedy of a fellow blogger (in fact, a somewhat regular commenter here at B-J).

    *Here is Al Weisel’s mother’s comment:

    mlfcyw said…
    __
    I don’t know how else to tell you all who love this blog. I am Jon Swift’s Mom and I guess I’m going to OUT him. He was Al Weisel, my beloved son. Al was on his way to his father’s funeral in VA when he suffered 2 aortic aneurysms, a leaky aortic valve and an aortic artery dissection from his heart to his pelvis. He had 3 major surgeries within 24 hours and sometime during those surgeries also suffered a severe stroke. We, his 2 sisters, his brother, his partner and his best friend since he was 9 years old were with him as he took his last breath. We have all lost a shining start who warmed our hearts, tormented us and made us laugh as he giggled at our pulling something over on us. He passed away on February 27, 2010. My beloved child will live on in so many hearts. I miss him more than I can say. If you are on Facebook, go to organizations and join “Friends of Al Weisel, Unite!” It will give you just a taste of how special he was. Farewell, Jon (Al)
