Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

White supremacy is terrorism.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

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

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Worst Censors Ever

For all the oppressive censorship going on, why is it I can’t make it through a newscast without having to hear a Tim Robbins update? Are we members of the VRWC the worst censors ever? At any rate, Keith Olbermann tonight on MSNBC announced that Tim Robbins hired a press agent to deal with all the negative hits he has been taking because of his outspoken views. For free, I am going to provide Tim some sage advice:

“Shut up. The only words I want to hear you speak should be written by someone else, and hopefully under the direction of someone genius, like the Coen brothers, or Robert Altman.”

It really is that easy, Tim. You are an amazing actor- you have been in several of the greatest movies ever made. But I don’t care about your politics. Stick with what you know. And with that, I am going to go flip between the West Wing and the Hudsucker Proxy.

    Might I suggest a tape rental for you?

    Bob Roberts (1992)
    Directed by Tim Robbins

    Plot Outline: A corrupt rightwing folksinger runs a crooked election campaign while only one independent muck-raking reporter is trying to stop him.

    Via instapundit, the Boycott Hollywood website has been forced out of business by threats of lawsuit by the Morris agency (old Hollywood).

    Robbins is, given good material and good direction, a very good actor – not up to Anthony Hopkins, et. al., but better than mediocre.

    As a director, he’s out of his element – “Bob Roberts” sucks, it’s mostly a parody of itself.

    As a human being, politically he’s a waste of space and psychologically he comes off as much, much too impressed with himself…with little justification.

    Everyone should watch, in this order:

    El Mariachi
    The Player
    Desperado.

    If you have seen all three, you know what I mean.
