Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

Let there be snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

T R E 4 5 O N

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Come on, man.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

I have insomnia, and the liner from Alan Keyes Is Making Sense is having a weird, hypnotic effect on me. If you have not heard the liner, it sounds like some hopped up top-40 DJ with a slightly raspy/nasal voice (you know the kind- the ones on the parts of the dial you ignore, where they say things like “Hot Rockin’, Hit Crankin’, 97 WLRX” and then play Madonna or something). At any rate, this DJ-like voice shouts out at every commercial break:

Alan Keyes is Making Sense! Stop yelling at the TV. He can’t hear ya!

Then you hear Alan Keyes chuckle.

It is, to say the least, unnerving, particularly when combined with copious amounts of the original green death Nyquil.
