Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

How do you get liars to care about the truth?

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Saul Alinsky is my co-pilot.

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

Naturally gregarious and alpha

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Wetsuit optional.

Militantly superior in their own minds…

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog goes to 11…

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

We can agree to disagree, but i’m right.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Verified, but limited!

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

    Unfortunately, Hillary is probably going to be McCain’s running mate. And if you don’t think that is going to happen, ask yourself: What wouldn’t she do to get a shot at 2012 if Obama wins the nomination? Top that off with:

    1. McCain/Clinton would win 2008.
    2. He’s gonna die in office so she wins
    3. She is already setting up the meme that “it is the serious, responsible thing to do.”
    4. They already share the same ideas and slogans.
    5. The ultimate triangulation.

    Mark my words…..

    Awesome.

    Accept second fiddle to Obama.

    Sorry, it was too easy ;)

    Frank,
    That gives her a shot at 2016. She will be three years younger than McCain is now (69). And you assume that Obama would offer it. He’s not going to. Way easier than your “too easy”, you can’t accept what will never be offered, ’cause Obama isn’t going to have Bill anywhere near the Whitehouse (unless maybe he needs ome uranium from Kazakistan).

    It’s a double super secret coded message for the ladies of the Amazon caucus to sharpen their swords for the coming shrinking ball crusade. Tin foil hat please.

    I’m sorry, but Arsenic, and anyone else who is boarding the “Clinton will switch parties to be McCain’s VP” is officially a retard. You know who the only people who hate Hillary Clinton more than far-left activists are? Right-wingers. For fuck’s sake, if McCain put her on the Republican ticket, he’d finish behind Nader. He’d finish behind write-ins for Mitt Fucking Romney. Step away from the computer and get a little goddamn air.

    I’m sure we’ll hear today ALL about how Olbermann using her own words (and the words of her own campaign staff) against her is proof of his “bias”.

    Damned biased facts.
