Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

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

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

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

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

This blog will pay for itself.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

One More Reason

by John Cole|  May 29, 20033:41 pm| 4 Comments

This post is in: General Stupidity

One more reason to hate smelly hippy protestors- not only are they obnoxious, but they are expensive:

City agencies in San Francisco added up the costs of the war protests that disrupted the city in March and came up with more than $3.5 million in expenses and lost revenue.

I wonder if this figure includes the vandalism damage to private businesses?

*** Update ***

Full disclosure- I used to be one. I grew out of it.

    1. Look around America, add up the sum total of everything.

    2. Subtract all the damage caused by our protesting forefathers.

    3. Everything left is profit.

    I went out to observe several of the protests in NYC. I was appalled at the trail of detritus and wet garbage which these assholes left behind. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that most of these people would consider themselves to be “greens”.

    Ah, Barney now attempts to equate groups of street-defecating, vandalizing hippies with our forefathers. Yes, attempting to free your country from the yoke of oppressive imperial taxation policies is just exactly like voicing your displeasure by taking a dump on the sidewalk.

    Forgive me if I don’t take you seriously, Barney. I’m willing to start when you’re willing to stop the silliness.

    Barney prides himself on being a troll.

    He was a troll at Bill Quick’s and Steve Verdon’s. under the previous, blogspot address. He got himself banned from both places.

    I’m not sure he’s any different here.
