Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

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

This fight is for everything.

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

So many bastards, so little time.

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

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

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

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Come on, man.

In my day, never was longer.

The words do not have to be perfect.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Republicans in disarray!

Books are my comfort food!

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

This really is a full service blog.

Just file this under things you never thought you would see, and once you did, you had to do a double-take:

    Does Sharon meet with every crackhead who traipses over to Israel, or just the rich ones?

    I don’t even think that’s really Sharon. It looks a little like one of those cardboard cutouts of famous people that you can pose with at amusement parks.

    Besides, it’s not like Whitney or Bobby would be sober enough to tell the difference.

    The full story is even funnier than The Vapid meeting The Rotund. Houston is over to visit with some blacks who’ve been convinced by a Chicago cabby that they’re a lost tribe of Israel – the recruits relocated to Israel and practice polygamy while the men refer to themselves as ‘Saints’.

    There must be this huge Zany Magnet buried in the Middle East…
