Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

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

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

People are weird.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

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

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

I am getting really tried of reading this story, over and over and over again:

France and Germany have called for more cooperation from Iraq with UN weapons inspectors. French President Jacques Chirac said Baghdad should do more but he emphasised that U.N. arms inspections were “still the way to go”, Chirac said during a trip to Algiers.

Blah, blah, blah…

    You know, these manoeuverings are starting to remind me of the tedious routines of potheads. Gotta toke, gotta sit and watch the Home Shopping Network or the Preview Channel for five hours, gotta go through a round of Iraqi weapons inspections, every damn day, or they get surly.

    France and Germany are wrong… And they are right, as well.
