Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We still have time to mess this up!

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

I really should read my own blog.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

The lights are all blinking red.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Medicare Quip of the Night

I am glad to report that somebody managed tofind something mildly amusing about the completely unfunny GOP Vote Buying Scheme of 2003 Prescription Drug Benefit. Craig Kilborn quipped tonight:

Experts claim that over the next two decades, the Prescription Drug Benefit could cost as much as $2 trillion. And that’s just for Rush Limbaugh…

I chuckled.

    OT:

    HEY Cole looks like that Democratic intelligence committee memo may have been stolen. Since the Repubs aren’t above stealing memos from judiciary committee members it wouldn’t suprise me if they stole the one intelligence committee memo.

    The truly sad thing is that number might not really be that outragous.

    I guess that joke’s going around, John. Conan said, and I quote from memory, “This morning, Congress passed a Medicare prescription drug benefit. 40 million people will now have access to the same drugs as Rush Limbaugh.”

    On the Fox NFL pregame show, Jimmy Johnson was talking about the Eagles winning streak and he said something like “all of the people who were criticizing Donovan McNabb are either in hiding or in rehab”.

    I laughed at that one too, since even though I lean to the right, I’m no fan of Rush.
