Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Second rate reporter says what?

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

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

I guess I will not be wasting my money on Tears of the Sun. here are some selected quotes from the NY Times review:

The audience’s tears are more likely to result from boredom, irritation at Hans Zimmer’s wretched fake-world-music score and inadvertent amusement at the thunderously earnest dialogue and Ms. Bellucci’s awkward line readings. (She has now made movies in three languages; whether she can act in any of them is an open question.)

and

All of this aside, the film’s bogus, deliberately na

    Co-incidentally, I was able to gombine reviews of TFTS with my opinion of the press conference by President Clever Hans last night:

    Well- the rest of the reviews I have seen were positive, so I may have to ignore the NYT.
