Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This really is a full service blog.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Not all heroes wear capes.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

White supremacy is terrorism.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

    I wasn’t New Zealand to win, but am afraid Netherland will.

    OT a bit, but, um, hey, did anyone notice that we have a new Triple Crown winner? First time in 37 years!

    I mean, Wow! (And I’m not even a racing fan.)

    Looking forward to the recipes if you continue that. They were fantastic. (New Zealanders taught me to eat fresh tomatoes on toast; habit still going strong.)

    Well, looks like the NYT is emanating giant squid clouds of butt-hurt b/c Hillary’s flipping the script from ’08:http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/06/07/us/politics/hillary-clinton-traces-friendly-path-troubling-party.html?_r=1&referrer=

    @Ben Cisco (onboard the Defiant):

    Hillary Rodham Clinton appears to be dispensing with the nationwide electoral strategy that won her husband two terms in the White House and brought white working-class voters and great stretches of what is now red-state America back to Democrats.

    Instead, she is poised to retrace Barack Obama’s far narrower path to the presidency

    1992: 370/168 44,908,254/39,102,343
    2008 365/173 69,297,997/59,597,520

    Clinton won five more electoral votes than Obama, and the Times wants to talk about Obama’s “far narrower path?”

    Also, too. For anyone interested Netherlands won 1-0 (though I didn’t watch it, just reporting the result)

    @Omnes Omnibus: I was going to say that buying them is no good because they have to be rusty. I am sure some smart person could come up with a way of selling the rustiest ones, for political purposes.

    @Valdivia (The Terrible): Some people want to monetize everything.

  12. 12.

    Valdivia (The Terrible)

    June 7, 2015 at 12:16 am

    @Omnes Omnibus: True true. But I wasn’t thinking of the monetization angle, more about making sure we had enough. For the movement.

    @Valdivia (The Terrible): “Liberate.” That is the word I was seeking.

    judging from the last three or four “football” threads, it seems that very few people really give a shit about soccer. We have some comments about rugby, horse racing and Hillary. Soccer, not so much.

    but it looks good on you, though.

    (sorry, can’t resist taking a jab at soccer and its fans….I have issues…what can I say? I’m sure the fans are having a very rewarding time watching these Women’s World Cup games….oops….matches. Lot’s of excitement on the field…..oops…..pitch.)

    @magurakurin: As one of the people who made rugby comments, I can say that I will start taking an interest in the Women’s World Cup once it enters the elimination phase. I think a lot of people are that way.

    @Omnes Omnibus: fair point, but it still doesn’t resolve my issues. Soccer, the Olympics and Apple…haters gotta hate…guilty as charged.

    oh and Go Nadeshiko….頑張れなでしこ
