Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

No one could have predicted…

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

The willow is too close to the house.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

“But what about the lurkers?”

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

I wonder what made people eat the first one of these. They couldn’t have known it was going to taste that good.

    John, take it from one who knows: If you’re hungry enough, you’ll eat anything.

    Please see also this.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all.

    Kind of like what made the first person eat that white round thing that just came out of the chickens butt.

    My father once told me a story that shows the power of coming at things with an outsider’s eyes. In NYC’s suburbs you get a lot of canadian honker geese. They’re considered something of a nuisance but are protected because they were hunted to fairly low numbers decades ago. My father once looked at a peaceful flock camped out on some corporate lawn and pointed them out to me. “What do you see” he asked? I replied some geese. He said, that there was proof that there were no truly hungry people around, that if there were, they would have gotten a long stick, broken their legs (so they couldn’t ffly away), wrung their necks and eaten enough of them that the rest would be afraid of humans.

    Look around for unprotected, unpicked fruit trees and eating birds that aren’t afraid of people. Hunger is a stranger in that neighborhood.

    Lobster….

    Who on God’s green earth was the first to think that maybe a giant aquatic cockroach would be a good idea for dinner?

    Pity I’m allergic… it looks tasty.

    Happy Thanksgiving.
