Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

In after Baud. Damn.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Saudi Government Daily: The Jews

Saudi Government Daily: The Jews are Taking Over the World

Saudi Ambassador to London: ‘Bush Has Complexes…’ ‘The Entire World Fears a Future in the Shadow of Dubya’, which sports this gem:

“When George Bush Jr. came to the White House, after a long period of ambiguity and confusion, it was clear from the outset that his behavior stems from two enormous complexes. His first complex is [an urge to] manage matters completely differently than his predecessor, the popular and beloved Bill Clinton.

Ha’aretz on the Root Causes of the September 11 Attacks for the ‘root cause’ apologists in our midsts………

Excerpts from an interview with Hamas leader, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Our friends, the House of Saud:

Question: Was the fact that the King of Saudi Arabia received you during your tour of the Arab states a message to the United States?

Yassin: It was an expression of appreciation on the part of Saudi Arabia for [our] activities for the sake of Palestine and to tell the world — especially the U.S. and Israel — that Saudi Arabia supports the path of jihad. Saudi Arabia has demonstrated strength and courage because it declared its position loud and clear, telling the U.S. that it supports the path of struggle to restore the plundered land. In other words, the welcome I received was a clear message to the U.S. and a provocation against its policy…

Debating the Religious, Political and Moral Legitimacy of Suicide Bombings Part 1: The Debate over Religious Legitimacy– Islam, the ‘peaceful religion.’

Terror in America (10): Prominent leader of the Muslim Brotherhood Movement, Sheikh Yussef Al-Qaradhawi: ‘Islamic religious law dictates that we join the Taliban’s Jihad, not the US coalition; It is forbidden to attack American citizens, but permitted to attack the American military.’ so sayeth Johnny ‘jihad’ Walker.

From various sites:

Saudi Arabia Donates $1,355,000 to PLO

Saudi Arabia abstains from freezing certain bank accounts

Saudi Arabia rejects western pressures to change the curricula

Saudi Arabia bans relations with a Cypriot company ” after it was proven it had exported commodities of an Israeli origin to the Arab states.”

Saudi Arabia completes contribution to Arab funds for Palestinians– “The Saudi contribution to the Intifada fund ($ 50 million) will help extend assistance to the families of martyrs and finance the education of children.”

Iran-Saudi Arabia Sign 10-Point Agreement on bilateral relations

I am getting tired of this, so here are some anti-Israeli and anti- U.S. cartoons here, here, here, here, and here. This way, illiterates can hate too.

And this gem. Don’t worry folks, Norm Mineta is on your side.

The cartoonist did have cartoons mocking Araft, but this type appeared to me at least to be most prevalent.

Ken Layne has issued a blog mobilization. I responded, and responded incorrectly. Instead of posting the links on MY page, I forwarded them to him. I can read, really I can.

Two new links added, to Steve Den Beste’ s USS Clueless and to James Lileks. I do not know how I forgot to put those up, as they are two of the best. Not mentioning them on your blog list and having others up is like being able to name Jose Carreras and then drawing a blank on Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo. Check them out…
