Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

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

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Republicans do not trust women.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

People are weird.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

In after Baud. Damn.

In my day, never was longer.

Come on, man.

Daschle blasts Bush economic record

Daschle blasts Bush economic record in a preview of Democrats’ campaign

In Daschle’s world, nothing helps an economy more than a fresh round of taxation and regulatory intervention, along with the obligatory redistribution of wealth. Alas, Bush et. al don’t buy this line of thinking. Thus, according to Daschle, their record is “atrocious.”

For Shame.

What Is the U.N. Thinking?

What Is the U.N. Thinking?

Reports are that Saddam will have nukes in 3 months or less. So the U.N. wants to give him 12 months.

Time to withdraw funding and support from the U.N., kick them out of NY, and then charge all the bastards for all the parking tickets they ran up. The U.N. can headquarter itself somehwere where it finds its mission better understood. Maybe in Libya, with their Human Rights Chair, Ghaddafi.

Is it just me, or does the acronym for the Iraqi inspections teams look eerily similar to its real purpose?

UNMOVIC: United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission

UNMOVING.

Hrmm.

Sorry for the lack of posts. I guess I just had a prolonged case of blogathy, and the joy in my life was sucked out with the death of Johnny Unitas and then the second Steelers loss. I am recovering.

An Already Awful Day Gets Worse

The greatest quarterback in the history of the game died today.

R.I.P., Johnny Unitas.

I will talk more about him later, once I have recovered from the shock.

Today it is one year.

I watched a little bit of the television coverage last night and this morning, yet I am not sad.

I am still too angry.

From Jack, my former roommate and current German liasion:

“Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs, and Hillary got $8 million for hers.

That’s $20 million for two people, who for eight years repeatedly testified they couldn’t remember shit.”
