Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Everybody saw this coming.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

In Slate, Rob Walker makes fun of Sharpton and Jackson, but does not spend nearly enough time savaging them the way they truly deserve. Hopefully some blogger will rise to the occassion and thrash them mightily.

The National Review Online has

The National Review Online has a new ‘blog’ like thing called the Corner. Welcome Folks. Unfortunately, they refuse to call it a blog. So, in order to help them, I have here the top ten reasons why it is not really a blog, at least in the sense that I think of them:

10.) Multiple sentences with polysyllabic terms.
9.) No rants, as of yet.
8.) 3, sometimes 4 sentences in a row without a link.
7.) No Permanent Links, but they are working on it (I emailed them and got a pleasant response from a Mr. Bailey).
6.) 34 posts, and the phrase ‘Yasser Arafat is an unrepentant scum-sucking terrorist’ has not been uttered.
5.) Posts stopped at 5:33 pm. It is 8:10 as I write this, and it appears that the NRO crew prefers food and martinis OVER blogging.
4.) 34 posts, and not one hyperlink to Instapundit, Ken Layne, Matt Welch, or the Opinion Journal (they did link Mark Steyn, so there is hope).
3.) Bill Buckley can not figure out how to connect his Underwood typewriter to the internet.
2.) No link to Natalija at Samizdata.
1.) They are bloggin while, (not instead of) working, and probably already turning a profit.

Half of me (Ok- all

Half of me (Ok- all of me) wanted to televise John Dingell being strip-searched at an airport after this outburst (the title prompted me to ask “who the hell keeps electing John Dingell”), but Safire calmed me down.

I am for freedom of information, but after the last 8 years of Dingell and company looking the other way while the Clinton’s ******** (insert you favorite scandal or blatant act of questionably legal or outright illegal patronage and otherwise criminal behavior here) makes me spit nails.

I am holding off til tomorrow to read Herbert. I need to go to bed tonight and he agitates me.

Reuters is reporting that Enron CEO Ken Lay has resigned.

I feel for the search committee that has to replace him.
