Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

So many bastards, so little time.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

So very ready.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

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

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

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

People are weird.

If you are wondering why

If you are wondering why there are not more posts here, it is because three times today I wrote posts, only to have blogger die before they were posted. I will be writing in Word from now on and cutting and pasting.

Until I get a new provider.

David Janes points some possible problems with Canadian military funding.

In a somewhat related story, Instapundit has found a site run by a fellow working security at the Olympics. He has this is as his favorite quote of the games:

A Canadian skater kept approaching the stairs up to the ice, only to be told that, for security purposes, we had to stop everyone, even if we knew them:
“I’m not a security threat: I’m Canadian”

Australians have won 2 gold

Australians have won 2 gold medals now, and so far it is the highlight of the games for me. Grats, mates.

Serious problems with blogger today. I got some email about port41.com, which had something to do with websites, but I couldn’t figure out what.

I can see me using a new service within two weeks- just need to consult with Charles Johnson first….
