Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

In my day, never was longer.

When we show up, we win.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

The words do not have to be perfect.

This fight is for everything.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

FIFA should be embarassed: The

FIFA should be embarassed:

The Spain/South Korea match was the most appallingly refereed soccer match I have ever witnessed. Unlike other sports (like say, the NFL- the ‘real’ football), it appears that the officiating gets worse the farther into the playoffs teams advance. I have never seen two goals called back before. The WWF has more shame and less rigged matches. Absolutely disgusting, particularly when you consider that the soccer community has been desperately trying to cultivate interest in the sport in the United States. One thing Americans like and expect is fair play and an even playing ground, as well as sportsmanship. The World Cup has failed on all three accounts.
