Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

This really is a full service blog.

Let’s finish the job.

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

White supremacy is terrorism.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

He really is that stupid.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Life is Like A Box of Chocolates

Stupid is as stupid does:

You saw it first on News 4! A man is behind bars after he survived a daring jump over the mighty Niagara Falls.

Witnesses watched in horror Monday as the man took the dangerous plunge. But he somehow got the the bottom alive and managed to crawl to safety.

Police are not releasing his name, only that he is a U.S. citizen. No word yet on what charges he’ll face.

Investigators are also questioning the man’s friend who videotaped the whole thing.

This is the first known instance that someone has survived a plunge over the falls with no safety devices.

Groan.

    What exactly is he going to be charged with? Tresspassing maybe?

    I believe going over the falls in any type of craft is illegal. However, since no craft was used, I don’t know if he found a loophole or not.

    But, reports are surfacing that the first words out of the guys mouth when picked up were, “Eat that Johnny Knoxville!”
