Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Bark louder, little dog.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

This really is a full service blog.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

The funniest thing about Hollywood

The funniest thing about Hollywood is how seriously they take themselves and how unseriously they approach their audiences.

Trust me- only in the current vote rigging schema that you have in place now would anyone think that the reason In the Bedroom lost was because people don’t like the head of Miramax. Hell. I can’t even remember if it is spelled Weinstein, or Wienstein, or Wienstien, or whatever. Who cares? How many old folks homes do you guys smother with Oscar ballots? Does anyone under 45 vote?

The rest of America could not care less about In the Bedroom. Why? Because we were all out watching the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Shrek, and Monsters, Inc. A couple of nitwits were not even doing that, because they have been waiting in line for Star Wars for the last 6 months. Who needs another one of these serious films you guys are always cranking out about the ‘human condition.’ You know the ones I am talking about. People like me invariably label them either a ‘chick flick’ or something my parents would watch. You know which ones I am talking about. The ones about lost love, children with terminal diseases, the dark sides of life. Why don’t you leave that stuff to people who do it well- writers. Go get a Carson McCullers book. And tell me- do you really think anyone like me would watch Monsters Ball if they did not know that Halle Berry was going to run around in various stages of undress? It is why I watched Swordfish, so I do not why the trend would be broken. Best actress? Try best breasts.

I saw A Beautiful Mind. I saw Lord of the Rings. LOTR was a better picture. Period. In fact, I am going to see LOTR again tonight.

And one last thing. Why do all these serious artsy films you guys put out star some wrinkled British women with died hair and a thick accent?

    It’s a free country, conservatives, not the nazi germany of your right wing dreams.
    See, ALL americans have the RIGHT to express their minds? Why is free speech so BOTHERSOME to you? Oh, right, you all like to live as obedient, mindless sheep ready to do what FOX news tells you to do. How sad, and pitiful.
