Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

The words do not have to be perfect.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Via Dean Esmay, it appears that the movie critics feel the cat should not have been let out of the bag:

“They may as well have skipped the hassle of securing licensing rights and simply called this mess Mike Myers: Asshole in Fur.” — Gregory Weinkauf, DALLAS OBSERVER

“Like being run over by a garbage truck that backs up and dumps its load on top of you.” — David Edelstein, SLATE

“A vulgar, uninspired lump of poisoned eye candy.” — A. O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES

The Defective Yeti has more.

    Mr. Cole,

    Sorry, this isn’t on the topic of this post… but I left Thanksgiving wishes at many weblogs, but I don’t think that I did so here – I hope that you and yours had a great Thanksgiving. There have been a lot of things going on in many of our lives, and in the Blogosphere as well – a lot of debate and frustration – but this weekend should be the time when we put aside our angst and worries, and observe and celebrate this holiday, while reflecting on the meaning of this occasion.

    I hope that I can keep that in mind…

    And I hope that you, and all of the readers of your site, had an excellent Thanksgiving, and have a relaxing and safe holiday weekend as well…

    Happy Thanksgiving, and God Bless!
