Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

We still have time to mess this up!

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

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

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Republicans do not pay their debts.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Just a reminder, have your Blog Awards submissions in by 18 August. The original post is here with rules and categories, and I have also included it below for your ease.

It is August, and other than some flatulence from Al Gore and some chaos in California, news is slow. Thus we are going to have some Blogger Awards. You, my friends, get to participate. All you have to do is cut and paste the awards into an email to me, [email protected], send it to me by Monday, 18 August, and I will tally them and put them up. Please include the url of the bloggers you are voting for in your email with “BLOG AWARDS” in the subject line, as well as your blog name (if you have one). Winners will be rewarded with permalinks for a month. If I don’t get 50 submissions, I am not going to bother tallying them. Here are the categories:

BLOG Categories

1.) Most Underrated Blog

2.) Snarkiest Blog

3.) Most Consistently Pessimistic Blog

4.) Most Consistently Optimistic Blog

5.) Best Original Source Blog (posts are predominantly his/her own material)

6.) Best Researching Blogger (posts are always thoroughly linked, explained, and well-reasoned)

7.) Best Essayist

8.) Angriest Blog (The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler is not allowed as a choice. He has perfected the form. All other entries will be tallied)

9.) Most Creative Link Whore

10.) The Atrios Memorial Award for Left-Winger Who Thinks Raving Bush Hate Is Justified (Eschaton votes will not be tallied)

11.) The Damn the Clenis
