Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

He really is that stupid.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

It’s tough for me to take Time’s Person Of The Year very seriously for a number of reasons: you know who else won the award, you know who else else won it not once but twice (no, really), and one year it was just a reflective piece of paper accompanied by an article by the douchebag who stole my big college crush back in the day (also, really), just to cite a few.

But it would be pretty awesome if Sandra Fluke won it this year, if only to piss off conservatives. Apparently, if you follow the link you can vote for her. I know, I know, VOTER FRAUD, plus everyone agrees the Gangnam Style guy is the one who deserves it.

First to send his Air Force to Libya. First against Mubarak. First to Gaza. Bankrolling the FSA. Bankrolling who knows what in DC.

    In the 1930’s Time had still the balls to stick to the idea that the Man of the Year went to whoever influenced the news the most, good or bad. Heck, they still had that in 1979 IIRC, when they gave it to Khomeini. Still, the change in the rules means that Giuliani is the only Republican who ever prevented Bin Laden from getting something.

    How could the Person of the Year be anyone but Barack Obama? Considering the forces arrayed against him, his own voters’ querulousness, the unemployment, his re-election, by the margin he won, is amazing.

    And being one who was among the querulous, I have to admit that the way he did it, the way I thought was too cool, too measured, has enabled him to completely reverse the dynamics. The Republicans are now totally on the defensive and without much leverage left after four years of obstruction and flaming hatred.

    And it looks like the Freepers got to the poll well before I did. 32% for, 68% against. I voted for her anyway, for whatever its worth.

  94. 94.

    @BruceFromOhio:

    Yes, it would be a real fluke if she won. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) :)

  95. 95.

    I have to say, it’s really gotten sick with me. In any kind of contest or dispute, I want them to lose. I get an enormous amount of pleasure out of it when they lose.
    I listen to Morning Joe in the car (I have satellite radio) to find out whatever lie/ bullshit they’re pushing, and then I know exactly what has to happen for them to suffer yet another humiliating defeat.
    It’s 100% adversarial.
    They were hugely inspiring to me during both the Ohio collective bargaining fight and the 2012 election. Every time they’d smugly line up against public employees or celebrate hard-working Real American Romney voters versus those worthless-taker Obama voters I’d think about how they were going to LOSE.
    I know this probably isn’t healthy, but I consider them “on the other side”. Not on the GOP side, necessarily, but on the other side from me.

  96. 96.

    Malala would be a great pick, but I question whether they’re really going to choose an international winner during a presidential election year. Sandra Fluke would be a good pick because she lets Time get into a huge part of the election campaign cycle and the war on women.

  97. 97.

    The auto rescue, too. I followed the political media commentary on the auto rescue and it was nearly unanimous. They predicted it would fail, they sternly lectured a whole region of the country, they WANTED it to fail. It wasn’t even close, it was like 10 to one OPPOSED. Listening to it from “the ground” was AMAZING. They were so clearly hoping it would fail and we’d all be punished. Adversarial. They were on the other side from me.
    I wanted it to succeed on substantive grounds, sure, but I also wanted these arrogant clueless fucks to be WRONG.
    And they were. Wrong. So they just moved on to being wrong about the next thing.

  98. 98.

    The 1%. They’re still in charge, after all.

    Mohamed Morsi

    Revolutionary, Susan Rcie’s hero, savior of peace in Gaza, and the next Hitler. What more can you ask?

    Howabout, you’re an asshole?

    You can see where the voter fraud is: the North Korean guy (whom I won’t name to avoid the Google hits) has 2 million-plus votes for a 95 percent yes/no lead. Someone’s padding the numbers there.

    So far the real leaders are teen Malala Yousafzai, Stephen Corbert, Curiosity Mars rover, and the Higgs-Boson particle.

  101. 101.

    @kay: ‘Spect you’ve got a lot of company, kay. Mine, for sure. Although if it’s Jon Huntsman talking, I’ll give him a chance to give me a reason to lump him with the rest of the uneducable sociopaths God-fearing, well-meaning People of the Lie.

    RIP, Scott M. Peck.
