Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

You cannot shame the shameless.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

Second rate reporter says what?

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

The willow is too close to the house.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Harsh Feelings

This post is in: Domestic Politics

If you want an idea how harsh the sentiments are regarding the Schiavo case, look at this completely irrational post by the normally excessively rational Tacitus: The results of Terri Schiavo’s autopsy are in, and it appears that the poor woman was in even a more frightful state than was assumed: she was blind, her …

Why is John Danforth an Anti-Religious Bigot

This post is in: Republican Stupidity

For all of you claiming I am ‘falling for a liberal trap’ when I proclaim the religious loonies* have too much control in my party, you should look to this op-ed in the NY Times by ordained Minister and lifelong Republican John Danforth: BY a series of recent initiatives, Republicans have transformed our party into …

Wonderful

This post is in: Domestic Politics

I believe that the way our current system is set up, very few come out out of prison a better person. Via TalkLeft, we find Gray Davis’s latest attempt to make this worse: The state’s financially strapped corrections department is prohibiting inmates from leaving their cells at three prisons in an attempt to reduce overtime …
