Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

We still have time to mess this up!

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Republicans in disarray!

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Books are my comfort food!

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

No one could have predicted…

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

Republicans do not trust women.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

I really should read my own blog.

One of the problems with blogging is that after a few months of it, you run across so many good sites that inevitably you never have everyone you think you do on your blogroll. Sometimes you have people you wish you didn’t. Other times you discover that some of the people in your links haven’t blogged for weeks or months.

A good example of the first situation, in which someone you thought you had on your link list but wasn’t there is Jennie Taliaferro’s Greatest Jeneration. Make sure you drop by, take a browse around, and say hello if it suits you.

A really good example of the final case, in which someone in your links hasn’t blogged for weeks, is Ken Layne. His counterpart, Matt Welch, has been posting daily, so I can only assume several things.

1.) Layne is still drunk from an orgy of Anaheim Angels worship.
2.) He is drunk in preparation for the return of the Lakers.
3.) He is in a Turkish prison.
4.) The aliens finally got him. And not the Haitian kind.
