Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The revolution will be supervised.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

I am heading off to a massive costume party, so there probably will be no more posting until late tomorrow (after the football game). Hope every one has a good and safe Halloween.

Oh, yeah- I am going with a few friends as Da Bears fans from Saturday Night Live.

    Cole-

    You and I have some quite severe differences, but you are officially my favorite person in the world tonight because of that costume.

    Happy Halloween.

    I went as George Wendt’s character, Bob Swirsky, brother of Bill Swirsky.

    I had on a bunch of Bears paraphenalia, a Bears jersey, a Bears hat, a curly brown wig and mustache, and big mirrored aviator glasses. Plus, I downloaded every SNL skit and knew them backwards and forwards.

    I was Shrek, my 7-year-old was the Dragon, my 2-year-old was Donkey, and my redheaded wife was daytime Fiona.
