Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

It’s a doggy dog world.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

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

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Cole is on a roll !

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

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

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

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I’m here in Charlotte with L. Joy Williams and a very not amused Elon James White. We’ll be doing a livestream broadcast of TWiB (This Week in Blackness) at 11 a.m. EST today. (I am filling in for Aaron Rand Freeman who couldn’t be here this week.)

You can check it out at www.theppl.us/dnc2012, or, if you are in Charlotte, come to The Stage at The PPL (222 S. Church St.) on the fourth floor.

You can follow L. Joy on Twitter at @ljoywilliams and Elon at @elonjames and Aaron (who unfortunately isn’t here) at @ANSFreeman. And you can follow me at @AngryBlackLady.

    @hep kitty: I made Van Jones laugh once. One of my prouder moments in life. (OK. I just realized that I lead a fairly lackluster life.)

    Sorry for the off-topic post but this is good news.

    Virgil Goode has qualified for the presidential ballot in Virginia. Even if pulls just 1-2% it will make Virginia that much harder for Mitt Romney.

    @slag: WOW! Can I cyber-touch you? Where did you meet him?

    Personally, if the Dem party would quit being so damned fearful and shift a hair to the left, I believe that guy is going places!

    They won’t let Van Jones speak, I’m sure. He’s such a “radical!”

    And oh yeah, the WH gave him the boot. That might have something to do with it as well.

    @hep kitty: NO TOUCHING!

    But I agree that Van Jones and other dauntless people like him have a lot to offer the left. Even though I wasn’t there, I got the impression that this event: http://www.guidinglightsnetwork.com/weekend was full of people like that.

    @JPL: Poor John. Maybe he will run into a cute little ginger Dem and impress her with his blogger status!

    Politically aware chicks dig that sorta thing.

    @slag: I think he gave an awesome speach at Netroots. I kept tweeting “check this out, this is great! Please watch Van Jones’ speech!” – nobody seemed to notice

    I’d be pretty impressed with myself if I made him laugh because, damn, the man is funny too!

    @hep kitty: This one: http://www.netrootsnation.org/nn_events/nn-12/closing-keynote/ ? I’ll check it out at some point.

    Agreed that the man is funny. Makes me laugh every time I see him speak.

    Is there a show called This Week in Whiteness? It would be only fair….

    Wait.

    Right. Meet the Press.

    Forgot about that.

    Oh, and that whole Fox News Channel thingy.
