Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

In after Baud. Damn.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Let me file that under fuck it.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

He really is that stupid.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

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

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

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

One of the things I

One of the things I love about America is how people celebrate common holidays in their own unique way. For example:

Google has their lettering done in the style of an American Flag.

The normally black and white Drudge has red and blue lettering.

William Quick has a copy of the Declaration up.

Lileks has a wonderful bleat up about grocery stores and how we are just the best damn country in the world.

Steve Den Beste has a touching and disturbing photo montage from September 11th.

When I finally go outside and brave the god awful heat, I will be treated to flags hanging everywhere, pudgy people in tight red white and blue t-shirts, fireworks, parades, and all sorts of other displays. What a country.
