Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

The National Guard is not Batman.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

So very ready.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

So many bastards, so little time.

Ouch! The Hammer takes a

Ouch!

The Hammer takes a whack at Al Bore:

The New York Times reports that Gore wrote the speech “after consulting a fairly far-flung group of advisers that included Rob Reiner.” Current U.S. foreign policy is the combined product of Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfowitz and the president. Meanwhile, the pretender is huddling with Meathead.

Had it not been for a few little old ladies baffled by the butterfly ballot in Palm Beach, Fla., American foreign policy today would be made by Gore-Reiner instead of the Bush brain trust. Who says God doesn’t smile upon the United States of America?

You Have Got to Be

You Have Got to Be Fucking Kidding Me!

I am sorry for the language, but for Christ’s Sake:

Federal prosecutors mistakenly turned over 48 classified F.B.I. reports to Zacarias Moussaoui in what a federal judge described as a grave security breach, the government acknowledged in court documents released today.

The reports, which were summaries of interviews related to Mr. Moussaoui’s case and the bureau’s larger investigation of the terror network of Al Qaeda, were retrieved in searches of his jail cell this summer on the order of the judge, Leonie M. Brinkema.

I am speechless.

Scott Ott, the funniest man in the blogosphere, comments.

One more Hardball note:

Dick Armey referred to Al Gore as the “former Vice-Presiudent, future nothing.”

I almost shot root beer out my nose.

Robert Fisk is at it Again- Is there any reason to ‘Fisk’ Fisk?

Someone else not overcome with apathy handle this, please. Here is the lede:

Tony Blair’s “dossier” on Iraq is a shocking document. Reading it can only fill a decent human being with shame and outrage. Its pages are final proof
