Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

The revolution will be supervised.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

We still have time to mess this up!

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

This really is a full service blog.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

It’s a doggy dog world.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Second rate reporter says what?

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

As you have noticed, I have not been posting much the last few days. Don’t be alarmed (or excited, you tricksy Democrats)- I am not going anywhere, but I probably won’t post again until Boxing Day.

You are officially ordered to go spend some time with your family and have a Merry Christmas. My friends and I insist.

    They do look rather intimidating. Brings to mind the movie “The Warriors”, with all the New York gangs and their distinctive motifs. Perhaps this was one considered but rejected by the director.

    Happy holidays, Kimmitt. Enjoy that… what’s the weather forecast for tomorrow over there?

    (click click click)

    82 DEGREES AND SUNNY!?!

    (Looking at NJ forecast: rainy day in mid 40s).

    (pause)

    Fine, fine, happy holidays anyway.
