Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving up is unforgivable.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

The National Guard is not Batman.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

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

Brian Williams just let out

Brian Williams just let out the Media Trap for Bush:

“Bush has his prestige on the line now that he is sending Powell to he Mid-East,” stated Williams.

There is the trick. Bitch for months that Bush is not involved enough, then when he is involved enough to your liking, declare that anything short of the optimum outcome is a Bush failure. Charming.

I guess I might be a conservative after all. How else can I explain the visceral reaction I had when I heard that the Wall Street Journal was re-designing its layout- particularly without seeing the re-design? I don’t care if it is better- it is different, damnit.

Jonah tells it like it

Jonah tells it like it is, again:

My views regarding the European political and intellectual elite have gone from mere contempt to palpable disgust.

Even the glow of the synagogues burning on soil already well fertilized with the viscera of Jews is paled by the bonfire of hypocrisy now raging in capitals across Europe. Recall last December, when France’s ambassador to England, Daniel Bernard, referred to Israel as “that shi**y little country,” asking, “Why should the world be in danger of World War III because of those people?”

Will Warren eviscerates the logic

by John Cole|  April 8, 20021:40 pm| Leave a Comment

Will Warren eviscerates the logic of a bunch of tawdry, shameless Nobel Laureates in his latest offering:

The wretched and poor can’t do wrong-don’t you see?-
The successful can do no right;
The downcast are blameless, new Sophists agree:
All is justified by their plight.

Set off nail bombs in pizzerias? That’s fine:
The losers can never do wrong.
Blow up a Passover Seder? It’s benign:
How else can the weak fight the strong?

Go read the whole thing.
