Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

So very ready.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

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

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Something has got to be

Something has got to be done about the ten o’clock time slot on the cable news networks. The choice between Alan Keyes on MSNBC, Greta van Muppet on Fox, and Aaron Brown on CNN is not a choice, really. It is the cable networks saying “$%$@#! you!” Generally, I watch Keyes, but only if I am really alert and remember to turn down the volume during commercials so I do not have to listen to the ‘Alan Keyes is making sense promos.’

Speaking of Alan Keyes, James Zogby was on tonight debating someone, and Zogby came off as a pompous ass apologist. He had the nerve to say that the Israelis were hampering peace, because while the Arab nations were meeting to offer a legitimate peace, Israel was holding down Arafat. I almost fell out of my chair. Check out the transcript tomorrow for a good laugh.

*** Update ***

Now he just filibustered for an apology because someone said something insensitive about his religion.

The incompetence of the Arab/Palestinian handling of Israel is mind-numbing. Do they really think they can ‘spin’ their way into genocide, and we will do nothing? Do they really think anyone with half a barin takes them seriously? Is their really anyone out there (who does not have explosives strapped to themself) who believes that the Arab League is honestly interested in peace with Israel? Seriously? Can anyone even say those words without snickering at how stupid they sound?

Ghaddaffi just called for the unilateral disarmament of Israel (neat trick- since Arafat really isn’t in control of Hamas or Aqsa- Wink, wink), Jordan most recently sided with Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War, Syria is doing their damndest to remove the ‘normalization’ language… Oh never mind. You know all the crap they are pulling.
