Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

So many bastards, so little time.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

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

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Let there be snark.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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

You can always count on

You can always count on the Ms. Dowd to take a cheap shot at Bush whenever she can. She spent an entire column sniping that Bush works out too much. Check out this gem:

Why does the leader of the free world, a man with limitless opportunities for stimulation, seem to get really jazzed only when he can run his 6:45 miles?

Does it ever occur to Mr. Bush and his aides to vacate the gym and nail down a Middle East policy?

The president was scheduled to deliver a speech on the Middle East to tell us how he would help stop the cycle of violence there. But then, after another bombing in Israel, he postponed it. If he’s supposed to have a plan to stop the killing, why let the killing stop the plan?

Nothing ever forces W. to postpone his daily workout, even when a gunman shot up the White House lawn one morning at 11:30 a.m. while he was on the treadmill, or when the Supreme Court met on the deadlocked presidential election.

She still can not get used to the fact that he is President. What a loser she is, and how can the Times continue to pay her when this is the best she can do?
