Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Let there be snark.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Dean’s Scream

I simply don’t know what to make of that scream Dean made last night at his rally in Iowa. I already thought the man was nuts, but I have to confess that I have never before heard an adult make a sound quite like that.

I am not going to make too much of it, but it was just weird.

    A good point by some local talk radio DJs: You want this man to have his finger on the Button?

    Dean to Kerry next week: “Don’t make me angry–you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”

    Hearing that scream on the radio several times always make me think of the muppet show when Kermit th Frog would get excited and yowl like Dean. Just can’t get Kermit out of my head on this.

    This is why there are so few right wing comic strips. The left has better mis-haps to work with and they are more apt to nail their own guy.

    I’m from Vermont and it’s very weird to hear how Dean has changed to get attention. He needs to be the sqeaky wheel or he won’t get heard..but the scream…ahh the scream. I agree with anyone but Bush. I just hope he adjusts his screams to something..well…less terradactyl like. Bye bye

    why is everyone so bothered by howard jes’ lettin off a little steam? this should have no bearing on public opinion of his suitability to direct the free world. after all, what’s wrong with lettin loose with the ocassional lunatic fringe, blood curdlin’ primal shriek after gettin trounced in iowa. to keep it in perspective, the free world is now bein run by a spoiled, rich frat boy who coasted through yale with c’s, dodged vietnam at ellington field, ran two businesses into the ground and received less than half of the popular vote. can a certifiable madman be any worse? i say, give the man some valium and send ’em to the white house.

    of course, if a guy shows energy and breaking out of the plastic mold we dub “politician” the guy is a nut, right? (fools)
