Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Books are my comfort food!

Nothing worth doing is easy.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Everybody saw this coming.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

This fight is for everything.

But does it cure male pattern baldness and impotence? The buffoons at the NY Times spend more column inches on CFR, or as we call it here, the LARGE MEDIA MONOPOLY EMPOWERMENT ACT (aka McCain Feingold). I should keep a running tally on the number of column inches they spend promoting CFR, and I should see how many issues they attempt to connect it to.

It appears that there is going to be a blue-light special at K-Mart. One good thing about recessions in our economy- it makes businesses that should not exist or that have out-lived their purpose face facts. It does not take an award-winning economist to figure out why K-Mart will soon be bankrupt. Go visit the one in your hometown, and the reasons will be abundantly clear.

Just noticed this blurb in the Best of the Web.

Somali-American “community leaders” in Minneapolis–home of America’s biggest concentration of Somali immigrants–are calling for a boycott of “Black Hawk Down,” “charging the new movie depicts their African homeland’s people as savages and could create a backlash against refugees who fled to the United States,” the Associated Press reports.

“The Somali people are depicted as very savage beasts without any human element,” Omar Jamal of the St. Paul-based Somali Justice Advocacy Center, tells the AP. “I’s just people shooting each other.”

People shooting each other? In a war movie? This is shocking! It’s not totally unheard of, though. A few years ago, we went to see “Saving Private Ryan,” and it, too, featured people shooting each other. How come German-Americans didn’t boycott?

The answer of course, is simple. German-Americans are white and predominantly Christian, and thus not afforded professional victim class designation.

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.
