Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

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

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

When I was faster i was always behind.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

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

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

After three years of Hi-Speed internet access both at home and at work, let me tell you that dialing into the internet at 56k is just bloody awful. I am dog-sitting at my folks, and there is no Hi-Speed access here. Only two more weeks…
