Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

“woke” is the new caravan.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Innocent people do not delay justice.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Just watched Alan Keyes’s new show. It will not make it. Too C-spanish. He did have an interesting discussion about the military tribunals with some members of the proletariat that he brought on, but overall the show seemed to be four hours long, when in fact it was only one.

In the Washington Post, it is reported that Yasser Arafat is willing to die a martyr. I think we should accomodate that desire, and take the entire PLO structure and the Hamas with him.

Lieberman Feels the Sting of Criticism Over Enron– I am so sick of this gotcha politics. Neither Lieberman nor his former aide have been accused of any wrongdoing. What Lieberman should befeeling the sting for is being a partisan hack, a hypocrite, and having no stand on any issue that isn’t the result of a political calculation.

No posting today- Steelers were on. I will be back in full force tomorrow, once I recover from the stress.

I would like to extend a big thanks to the folks at Protein Wisdom. Not only are they folks I love to read, but they have been kind and generous enough to buy my blogspot banner. I really appreciate it, and for those of you have ventured into my archives or have read this site for a few weeks, you know how much I appreciate their work. Please, if you get nothing else out of this website, go to their site and check out their take on issues.

Kick em while they are down, we always say. James Glassman writes Diversify, Diversify, Diversify- Enron employees aren’t blameless for the bath they took.
