Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

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

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Not all heroes wear capes.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

Everyone is linking to this Presidential Watch ’08 map of the blogs, so here is where we are:

I cropped it to fit the page and cut out some of the outliers, so go here to see the whole thing.

    I see the Big Dipper right next to the ghost of Frank Zappa.
    But where is Malkin? Oh there, on the Red Dwarf.

    I’ve been looking through the information that accompanies this map, and it seems straightforward, all except how sites are categorized. Is it John’s (and Tim F.’s and Michael D.’s) support for Obama that makes BJ blue? Because the PresidentialWatch folks seem to use Democratic/Progressive and Republican/Conservative interchangeably, but I’d guess John would call himself a conservative Democrat; I imagine there might be other sites run by liberal supporters of McCain (as strange as that may sound. . .)

    Powerline qualifies as an infopit? Are we sure about that?

    Well, Powerline is a pit, so it’s half right.

    Soon the mass of Balloon Juice will start drawing other blogs to it. Once that process begins the event horizon of BJ will expand until there is only One Blog.
    I for one welcome our new blogging masters.

    Wow. It looks like Balloon Juice is the centre of the Universe.

    Admit it. Who did you sleep with John? Wait. Let me rephrase that. Replace the Who with How many

    So… what the HELL is an “Infopit”? I searched the website, and it’s not defined. Sounds like “infodump” or something bad, but I can’t tell!

    They must’ve generally stuck to the more mainstream sites as far as the ones considered “left” in compiling this, because High Clearing & this site are the only ones I go to regularly listed. They do include Lew Rockwell & Antiwar.com as far as the conservative ones though, so whatever…
