Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

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

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

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

American history and black history cannot be separated.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Boo Oscars..

Not a bad night for the Oscars- Best Documentary is awarded to a fat, lying, prevaricator, whose research methods are almost as bad as his politics(more Moore lies here and here, Best Director awarded to a sexual predator and wanted fugitive from justice.

Not bad guys.

Greenpeace Outrage?

Clearly, Greenpeace and the Sierra Club should be pissed about this:

Orange flames could be seen Thursday on the horizon in the direction of the southern Iraqi oil center Basra, and U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said three or four oil wells may have been set afire.

Witnesses in Kuwait about eight miles south of the border said the flickering flames were spotted after a series of explosions that shook buildings in the area.

The Arab satellite television channel Al-Arabiya reported that fires had erupted in Iraq’s al-Rumeila field west of Basra and just north of the Kuwaiti border.

I expect them to take to the streets any minute now.
