Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

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

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

Stay strong, because they are weak.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Am I the only one, or do others think that all the remote shots during the Hurricane coverage look like bad SNL skits?

    No, you’re not the only one.

    In fact, I’m sure SNL will probably have a spoof of the coverage this Saturday night.

    BTW, the other night on the E channels SNL rerun, they had an episode where Rumsfeld is giving a press conference and he was answering every question by quoting a line from “These Boots are Made for Walking” by Nancy Sinatra?

    Hilarious stuff, especially since SNL has gone downhill since Will Ferrell left.

    I keep waiting for the “Live from New York…” But then I remind myself that the camera work is better on an SNL skit and the faux reporters usually have something better to say than “yep, it’s a wet one Ted, back to you.”

    *smiling at the image of Al Franken standing outside in the hurricane with that idiotic satellite dish and being struck by lighting. Repeatedly.*
