Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

T R E 4 5 O N

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

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

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Second rate reporter says what?

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

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Tom Daschle, idiot extraordinaire and lying, no-good hypocritical pawn of the trial lawyers (I think a free registration is required).

I am awaiting a scathing rebuke of the Majority Leader from the fuzzy folks at Common Dreams. I will be waiting a while.

The New York Times Sunday Edition has an editorial critical of the Democratic National Committee.

Not to be outdone, Matt Drudge is reporting sporadic sightings of flying pigs and patches of ice in hell.

Anyone with the slightest clue what Maureen Dowd is talking about can feel free to e-mail me. Please keep explanations under 50 words, and avoid using the following words: root causes, introspection, and reflection. Ms. Dowd also fails to mention Prada handbags, so I am now really confused.

Almost forgot. Tonight’s Ten Second Movie Reviews:

Crazy/Beautiful– Neither/Boring

Angel Eyes– Jennifer Lopez clothed (BAD), not singing (GOOD), cavorting with criminals (Not Puffy).

In case you are wondering, I normally do not watch this many movies, but I just got satellite, and I quit smoking, so I can not go to bars or be around people, and thus have a helluva lot more time than I used to.

As if New Yorkers have already not suffered enough in the last few months, the Workers World reports that every anti-WTO nitwit, green party activist, socialist, anti-free-marketer, Earth First! tree-hugger, and every pachouli wearing privileged child of West Coast white trash who owns a copy of the Communist Manifesto – generally, every wart on society’s arse imaginable- will descend on New York to protest things they do not, can not, and will not understand on February 2nd when the World Economic Forum meets at the ‘luxurious Waldorf-Astoria hotel.’

The only upside to this protest is that the sky-rocketing sales of tofu, rolling papers, Guiness, and Native American brand cigarettes might produce a slight bump in the economy, but this will be probably be offset by the money spent on overtime on the police, who will no doubt be needed to beat the rabble sensless (more so, if possible) before they ship them back to their deluded enclaves in Berkely, CA, Seattle, WA, and DNC headquarters.

No doubt freeing Mumia and leniency for the Marin County Mullah will be at the top of the agenda.

From the Workers World (a run of the mill socialist rag, run by aging and drug addled hippies well versed in the platitudes of the people), comes this delightful opening sentence:

The much asked question, “Where will the U.S. war go after Afghanistan?” is already being answered in the cities, villages and refugee camps of occupied Palestine.

It goes downhill from there.

Jacob Weisberg is a bleeding idiot, although maybe not as dumb as Daschle.

From Jacob’s latest pool of bile:

“Bush continues to exhibit the same lack of curiosity, thoughtfulness, and engagement with ideas that made him a C student. Nuance, complexity, subtlety, and contradiction are not part of the mental universe he inhabits. And curiously enough, it is these very qualities of mind-or lack thereof-that seem to be making him such a good war president.”

Yawn. I bet he thinks Cornell West is smart.

I know some of you are going to say the article seems to be praising Bush, but it is actually a snide, pretentious, back-handed compliment.

In honor of Jacob Wesiberg, the Corner’s Quote of the day is:

“I’m all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let’s start with typewriters.”
– Frank Lloyd Wright (1868-1959)
