Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

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.

So very ready.

Bark louder, little dog.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

We are aware of all internet traditions.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

In an attempt to prove

In an attempt to prove that guest letter writers can be as idiotic as regular columnists (insert your Ted Rall, Jacob Weisberg or columnist of your choice link here), a WaPo reader states that:

At this time, when disagreeing with the foreign policy of our country is akin to treason, maybe we should take a moment to look at what we do to cause our own internal fanatics, if only to understand what we can do to help prevent future foreign fanatics from attacking our shores.

Let’s see, one sentence indirectly covers non-existent civil rights erosion hysteria post 9/11, touches on the ‘blame America’ theme, and cries out to examine ‘root causes.’ Folks- this is a left-wing trifecta!

The whole letter is here, although it probably should have been sent here.

Triple Yawn.
