Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

This blog will pay for itself.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Alrighty. Making progress. Added a hit counter and that tell-a-friend thing. It is kinda ugly (although I appreciate the service Bravenet), so I am not sure if it will last. If I can figure out how to modify the colors, I will. I will keep you posted.

The folks at The Libertarian Samizdata express some of my sentiments on the Euro far more succinctly that I have… All I managed to muster is I thought it was dumb and ugly. They agree, but they state it much more eloquently.

Everyone is talking about Cornell West and the Harvard Flap. CheckInstapundit, check the Economist, check all the other blogs. I refuse to talk about it. My stance is, and will be, that Cornell West is a Bleeding Idiot and should be ignored. Of course, by talking about him I have failed to follow my own advice.

National Review Online documents the death of the Kyoto Treaty now that Japan has deep-sixed it. In other treaty news, read this little story about the real losers in 2001, International Treaties. Both articles were written by Nick Schulz, editor of techcentralstation.com. In the aforementioned techcentralstation is this little piece about the dwindling popularity of the Kyoto Treaty. Ding dong, the witch is dead.

“The world does not just disappear because you close your eyes, does it?” – Leonard Shelby, Memento

I just loved this quote, from what I think is just a great movie. At any rate, we will have a Leonard Shelby award here at the Curmudgeon’s Corner. The award will be given when most appropriate (this will not be a daily, weekly, or monthly award) to the person who does his/her best to deny truths and objective reality….

A snide and obnoxious op-ed

A snide and obnoxious op-ed in the L.A. Times by one Norah Vincent self-described ‘senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a think tank set up after Sept. 11 to study terrorism.’ At any rate, this is merely a one-page dossier of all the bile spewed about Giuliani by the left-wing kooks, union thugs, and race-baiters. No deep thought is required, she just references Abner Louima, and references both Adolf Hitler and Mussolini. Clever, hunh? She also manages to tar Bush. Worth a read, and was better than my treadmill at getting my blood flowing.
