Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

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

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

Republicans in disarray!

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

The words do not have to be perfect.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

More Enron:

Found this link from the red-baiters at Front Page Magazine, and it provides 35 reasons why the Democrats are hypocrites regarding Enron.

The info is all from StopDemocrats.com, so read with a grain of salt and do your own fact checking (like I need to tell this to the blogging community)….

Cue the Hallelujah Chorus. Jonathon

Cue the Hallelujah Chorus. Jonathon Alter was just on MSNBC claiming that this is not a political scandal, but a corporate scandal. And he then just as quickly said they(the Bush administration) are not off the hook yet, as “there are important questions which need to be answered.” None of those questions is “Who pays Jonathon Alter and why?”

Stay tuned for more vacillating by our favorite talking heads.

“Before the Democrats start throwing around accusations, shouldn’t they at least agree on what would constitute a scandal?” Exactly, Mr. Taranto.
