Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

This really is a full service blog.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

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

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Let there be snark.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

In my day, never was longer.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

One of the first things

One of the first things I noticed when I started to read all ofthese blogs was that I no longer feel the need to have the tv running on CNN, MSNBC, or FOX 24/7. Bloggers are funnier, faster, and wiser. At any rate, I still watch some shows while I am working, and I would like to nominate this gem as the Best Question by a Telepundit for the Year 2002.

At any rate, last Thursday or Friday, Mike Barnicle was filling in for Chris Matthews, and he asked Alon Pinkas to “explain to me the difference between Osama bin Laden and Yasser Arafat besides height.”

I could not have said it better myself, Mike.

I guess I did not miss the debate. Today Will Quick discusses blogs and Fair Use, something I was babbling about in my usual incoherent manner the other day (yesterday??).

Jima Romanesko points out this conversation in which it appears that some people are initmidated by Donald Rumsfeld. And, no. It is not the Taliban.

Rich Galen is up to his usual antics: providing plausible explanations to things I normally am to lazy to understand.

Moira Breenand Damian Penny trade salvos about Newfoundland.

I can personally attest that at least one segment of their economy is working- telemarketing. Capital One has called me from a Newfoundland extension three times in the last two days.

Little Green Footballs posts one way how to best employ telemarketers.

Something else bizarre. When I click on the permanent link of older posts (older is a relative term- in this case from five days ago), it takes me back to when my page was the other names it has been, which is odd.
