Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Republicans do not trust women.

People are weird.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

We will not go back.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

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

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Greg Hlatky at A Dog’s

Greg Hlatky at A Dog’s Life discusses the Korean practice of eating dogs.

I like dogs more than most people, so I think it should be clear where I stand on this issue.

Just watched Alan Keyes’s new show. It will not make it. Too C-spanish. He did have an interesting discussion about the military tribunals with some members of the proletariat that he brought on, but overall the show seemed to be four hours long, when in fact it was only one.

In the Washington Post, it is reported that Yasser Arafat is willing to die a martyr. I think we should accomodate that desire, and take the entire PLO structure and the Hamas with him.

Lieberman Feels the Sting of Criticism Over Enron– I am so sick of this gotcha politics. Neither Lieberman nor his former aide have been accused of any wrongdoing. What Lieberman should befeeling the sting for is being a partisan hack, a hypocrite, and having no stand on any issue that isn’t the result of a political calculation.

No posting today- Steelers were on. I will be back in full force tomorrow, once I recover from the stress.

I would like to extend a big thanks to the folks at Protein Wisdom. Not only are they folks I love to read, but they have been kind and generous enough to buy my blogspot banner. I really appreciate it, and for those of you have ventured into my archives or have read this site for a few weeks, you know how much I appreciate their work. Please, if you get nothing else out of this website, go to their site and check out their take on issues.
