Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

So very ready.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

We will not go back.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

This really is a full service blog.

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

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Shut up, hissy kitty!

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

It has been pointed out that I made the bigtime, being mentioned in the Toledo Blade and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette by Jack Kelly. Kinda cool. The Post Gazette is the local paper I read most, so this is extra cool.

As an added bonus, Kelly, as he usually does, gets the story right.

    Because Tonight’s Iowa Debate …

    … is hosted by Iowa’s Brown-Black Forum, the Democrats have been pandering (and attacking) on race-related issues. I haven’t been able to watch the entire debate, but two moments have stood out thus far: Sharpton attacking Thumb-Powered Howard on rac…
