Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

The willow is too close to the house.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

    Somehow, the word “happy” doesn’t seem quite appropriate, but maybe that’s just because MB is a lot older.

    Col. David Hackworth [www.hackworth.com], the famous American war hero and soldiers’ advocate (widely-read and respected by our military personnel and veterans, Col. Hackworth has been decorated more times than any other American alive today) had earlier posted at his website a good story that was written right before the start of the recent war.

    THE WALL
    by Alfred A. Hambidge, Jr.

    This is a very touching and very moving piece, which symbolizes the feelings of many of our veterans, and many of our fellow citizens, at a time like this. For today, it is especially appropriate.
