Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The willow is too close to the house.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

I was promised a recession.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

The Pulitzer Prize for drama

by John Cole|  April 8, 20029:11 pm| Leave a Comment

This post is in: Open Threads

The Pulitzer Prize for drama was awarded to Suzan-Lori Parks for “Topdog/Underdog,” a play about the relationship of two brothers and their struggle with being African-American and male in the United States.

Yes, the trial of being male finally given the recognition it deserves. I doubt that is what the writer meant, though.

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

This post is in: Open Threads

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.
