Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Giving up is unforgivable.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Petty moves from a petty man.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Great Week- But Don’t Forget

It has been a great week for results in the war, and I am going to take a day off. Remember, though, that despite all the advances this week, we still have men and women in harms way, and remember to keep our MIA’s and POW’s in your thoughts.

    John, have you noticed that when you post pictures of POWs, they get rescued within a few days? It’s happened twice.

    You got a pretty powerful blog going here. I can think of all sorts of nefarious things you can do.

    is there a way I can get in touch with the Johnson family. I’m a free lance reporter for the City Paper in Baltimore and I’d like to tell her story to the people who don’t know her story. Please contact me via the above email address
