Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

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

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

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

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

The Un Self-Parody Continues

Via the Emperor, I see this hilarious piece of life imitating farce: (registration required)

The Libyan mission to the UN is urging the community of nations to revoke the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s NGO status if it doesn’t apologize for criticizing Muammar Qaddafi’s human rights record.

At an NGO committee meeting on Friday, Libya, one of 19 nations tasked with reviewing and reaccrediting the world body’s 2,234 non-governmental organizations, demanded a letter of apology from the Wiesenthal Center for denouncing the UN Human Rights Commission’s choice of chairman.

So the Chair of the Human Rights Commission can’t handle free speech. Does this ban include the screams of prisoners being tortured in Tripoli?

    Alas, I fear the UN is like death and taxes…
