Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

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

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

We will not go back.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

An almost top 10,000 blog!

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

    That’s pretty funny. This isn’t:

    Paulson Moves On to Nuts and Bolts of Rescue
    Secretary Begins With Search to Tap Expertise of Leading Wall Street Firms

    That’s the title of an article in this morning’s WaPo.

    The article goes on to mention that there may be conflicts of interest but don’t worry because Treasury spokeswoman Michele Davis said the department plans to develop and publish guidance on "how to manage any conflicts."

    Yep, it will all work out just fine:

    Besides hiring five to 10 asset managers, Paulson is seeking a top executive to oversee the program with the rank of assistant secretary of the Treasury as well as about two dozen bankers, lawyers and accountants.

    Yes, I know that Paulson has to hire people who are knowledgeable about Wall Street. I just wonder why he couldn’t find people who are knowledgeable without being in it up to their assholes. This seems like hiring arsonists to put out a fire.

    Apologies to Idiotic

    Idiotic’s preternatural posting will be the thing I will miss most about Hillary Clinton’s presidential run. That and Sinbad.

    I have predicted and will continue to predict, that we will rue the day this particular "rescue" plan was enacted. The only rescue will be for GWB’s and Hanky Panky Paulson to save their buddies. Maybe it will avert the credit freeze that could devastate average Americans, for awhile. However, by the time Obama takes office, the Bushies will have set the "Plan" in concrete for much of the money going into the pockets of those who caused this problem and not to reforming the system. We will be back at this in fairly short order, and will have to borrow more cash to grease the rails of trickle down bullshit. Meanwhile, the sweaty rich stockbroker class will be catching rays on a sunny Cayman Beach.

    OT–as always.
    Listen to this weeks edition of "This American Life." It’s just as enlightening as "The Giant Pool of Money."
