Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The words do not have to be perfect.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

We will not go back.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

In after Baud. Damn.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Let me file that under fuck it.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

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

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

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

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Innocent people do not delay justice.

    So does anybody know what the wingnuts are blithering about with “Benghazi emails” and such? They’re insisting that it’s impeachment-worthy–which tells me that it’s a big ol’ nothingburger–but I’m unclear on what exactly they’re talking about. Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

    So does anybody know what the wingnuts are blithering about with “Benghazi emails” and such?

    Because among the plethora of contradictory reports and e-mails that were no doubt flying around the world in the aftermath of the death of the ambassador, there were some that said it was a “terrorist attack.” The fact that there were probably some that said differently (a la the Fog of War) doesn’t seem to occur to these idiots; it’s all proof that “Obama knew it was terrorism and he didn’t say it was, so Obama lied blah blah blah.”

    @J.D. Rhoades:

    Apparently, some of the players in the US govt. sent some emails that a particular AQ group had claimed credit for the attack shortly after the attack. To the wingnut mind that is enough to where Obama should have identified AQ right off the bat and sent the Tomahawks on their way.

    To the current hysterical wingnut wanting to be rid of Obama after the election, that is an impeachable offense. Even if it was wrong, as early credit taking often is the case in these events. I don’t know where the AQ group made the claim, and it sounds like others don’t either.

    Ahhh! Balloon Juice has 666 contributors! I knew this place was the work of the devil.

    I’d make it 667 but I don’t really care about the 666 number and I’ve given as much this election season as I am gonna. Yes I did give to that one earlier. Much earlier.

    I’ve already tossed in $600 this week, but because MBAL is worth it, I will match Juicer donations for the next $100.

    Hit me, baby, one more time…

    Nate Silver has Willard back over 30% today, after dipping below the mark yesterday (IIRC). Nervous as a cat in a roomfull of rocking chairs.

    Can you put up one for the winnable senate seats?
    Thanks.

    @trollhattan: The polls today will push Obama back above 70%. Gains in the national trackers as well as solid state polls across the board.

    I just got a paycheck, so I’ll match all donations up to $250 from now (11am Aus time) to the end of the work day (so 6 hours from now, my 5pm)

    I’m a foreigner, thus ineligible to donate anything but my best wishes — which I do, because I really truly do not want that liar, phony and creep Mitt Romney to become POTUS and fuck up my planet.

    Speaking of Mitt, I remember that in London, aside from wowing David Cameron with his mad diplomacy skilz, he met with the British Foreign Office. (Mitt also claimed to have met the head of MI-6, but maybe he was just introduced to Dame Judi Dench at a reception.) A report was leaked to the media from that meeting: the Foreign Office was appalled by his poor grasp of world affairs. His recently displayed ignorance of primary-school geography makes that report seem entirely credible now.

    He does indeed seem strangely ignorant of world affairs.
