Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

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

I really should read my own blog.

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

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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.
