Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

People are weird.

I really should read my own blog.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The willow is too close to the house.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Books are my comfort food!

T R E 4 5 O N

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Oliver Willis and I have been chatting this week (contrary to what you may think- we have a lot in common), and Oliver has stated several times that he believes we should keep a keen eye out for revisionism regarding Reagan and his legacy.

With that in mind, Matthew Yglesias has some stunning news for President Dukakis, President Gore, Speaker ofthe House Tom Foley, and Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd:

“Hatchet Man- So Reagan was the guy who saved conservatism? Actually, he buried it.”

    Dumb headline, but an interesting thesis.

    My take? Too soon to tell.
