Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

This really is a full service blog.

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

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

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

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

I wouldn’t recommend sex, drugs

I wouldn’t recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they’ve always worked for me. —Hunter S. Thompson

Why is it that the people who are most against drugs are the ones who almost drive me to do them? Apparently there is a new drug hysteria brought on by the fact that Oklahoma thinks everyone in their band and other after-school activities is on crack. I remember when I was in High School, the joke went like this:

Did you hear that 80% of high school students are sexually active?

No. Really?

Yeah. The other 20% are in the band.

Apparently now they are smoking rock and shooting up. I did a google search for ‘drug fiending tuba players,’ and came up with nothing, so I am not sure how serious the problem really is, but I do know one thing- I would have had to have been stoned to the bejeezus to ever have anything to do with the band when I was in high school.

I spent several years working with people in the Education Department of a prominent university. You should hear some of the off-the -wall, hare-brained teaching strategies they teach prospective teachers to go out and inflict on our youth. No wonder they need an escape. Then again, half the students could be self-medicating themselves, trying to find some balance between all the ritalin and other crap all the fruity bastards in psychiatry are forcing the kids to take.

Hell, I need a stiff drink after listening to this pro drug testing nanny on MSNBC.

Our country does have a serious drug problem. It is our drug policy.
