Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No one could have predicted…

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Republicans don’t trust women.

A consequence of cucumbers

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Cat in The Hat

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!
