Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog goes to 11…

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

What fresh hell is this?

Nevertheless, she persisted.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

This blog will pay for itself.

Militantly superior in their own minds…

Women: they get shit done

Reality always wins in the end.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

I thought we were promised Infrastructure Week.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

… down to kool-aid drinkers and next of kin at the trump White House

We have all the best words.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Han shot first.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn – Nancy Pelosi

‘Forty-two’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Jayson Blair

One of the more damning assertions regarding the obviousness of Jayson Blair’s guilt prior to his recent discovery is the fact that the NY Times was forced to print 50 corrections over the past four years for Blair alone. This is surprising, particularly because the NY Times seems to HATE to issue corrections (you remember them misreporting the temperature increase and then dong everything they could to fudge the truth when it came time to print a correction).

In fact, they hate issuing corrections so much that some intrepid individuals decided to start another paper in the NY Region. I am sure my wise Balloon Juice readers have heard of the NY Sun and remember who started it and why…

    Call me Mac Surprised. I expected you to go for the race angle like most of the Right blogosphere, John Cole. Instead, you are writing about Blair as if he is what he is, a person who has done some effed up things.
