Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

No one could have predicted…

The revolution will be supervised.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Not all heroes wear capes.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Tears of the Sun

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

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