Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Not all heroes wear capes.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Second rate reporter says what?

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

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

It is now duly noted, albeit belatedly, that Jim Henley’s Unqualified Offerings should have been included in my list of re-designed web sites. And, to his credit, he has kept the narrow margins that NRO foolishly walked away from. Bravo!

I did not mean to scare you with the Sgt. Schultz revelation, either, Jim. I assure you that I am not Stephanie DuPont.

Just a thought- It sure was nice that on this anniversary of Watergate, which was a veritable orgy for nostalgic lefty reporters on virtually every news channel, that not once did I have to hear the nasal intonations of the now established liar and former shameless mistress of LBJ, Doris Kearns Goodwin.

It is the little things in life…..

I am not sure why this surprises or upsets anyone:

Israeli moves to erect security fences and protective walls have enraged Palestinians who call it another form of collective punishment. Analysts say unilateral separation may be unrealistic and harmful to peace efforts.

We have been using fences for years in West Virginia to keep animals out of areas we don’t want them (or conversely, in areas we do want them).

Update: Jay Zilber has it right.
