Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

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

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

T R E 4 5 O N

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

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

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

The Leader of the Pack

This is hysterical:

It may come as a surprise to some of his supporters, but Democratic Presidential candidate Wesley K. Clark still hasn’t joined the Democratic Party. According to the Pulaski County (Ark.) Voter Registrar’s office, the former four-star general remains a registered independent. Even though he has been a declared candidate for the Dem nomination for two weeks now, he has yet to officially change his party affiliation.

A Clark campaign spokesman at first told BusinessWeek that the former general had in fact updated his voter registration to reflect his newfound status as a Democrat. But a call to the Pulaski County Voter Registrar indicated otherwise. When asked to explain the discrepancy, campaign consultant Mark Fabiani says Clark hadn’t yet had time to register as a Democrat.

Nine lifelong Democrats are trailing in the polls for the Democrat nomination to a registered independent. Snicker. All together, now:

“I am the very model of a modern major general…”

    Ol’ Wesley is looking less like Ike and more like Admiral Stockdale (minus the sincerity and aura of tragedy) every day:

    “Who am I? What am I doing here?”
