Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

No one could have predicted…

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Republicans in disarray!

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Paging Henry Waxman

Uh Oh!:

Gov. James Douglas on Thursday urged Vermonters to save power to help avert rolling blackouts that could be needed because of electricity shortages in southern New England.

Douglas said the power shortage was caused by a shortage of natural gas used to power electric generating plants in southern New England.

Steve Costello, a spokesman for the Central Vermont Public Service Corp., said a number of plants that produce a total of 4,000 megawatts of electricity had been shut down because they were out of fuel.

How long before Rep. Waxman issues subpoenas to Enron and Ken Lay?

    Russia has the most natural gas. I HOPE we don’t invade them, unless we want half the country turned into a nuclear waster land.

    WE don’t need to go as far as Russia. Canada has plenty of natural gas. Delenda Ottawa!

    Further suggesting the lack of courage of convictions.

    You should be emigrating, since if the Bushies are REALLY as hell-bent on both war and oil as y’all believe, then there’s really NOTHING that’ll prevent ’em from invading Canada, and possibly nothing to prevent ’em from invading Russia.

    Bush won’t invade because Vermont is out of natural gas.

    To paraphrase James Baker, “Fuck the northeast, they don’t vote for us.”

    Oop. I thought you were paraphrasing Michael Moore, there.

    The two states with lots of natural gas are Arkansas and Texas. Wait, why are we bothering with invading them?

    Dear Congress Waxman,
    My name is Karina Escobedo and I am in 8 grade at Lawrence Middle School in Chatswort,
    California. I am writing to you today
    about a policy here at my school that I am concerned about. The problem is that there is only one line that will give
    change at nutrition and lunch.
    There are more than 2,200 students at my school and the lines at the students store are very long,especially the one for change. If I do not have the right change and I don’t want to wait in the change line, I am forced to use my whole $1,$5,etc.
    I feel that my rights are being violated and that this policy should be changed.
    Sincerely,
    Karina Escobedo
    Lawrence M.S.
    10100 Variel Ave
    Chatsworth,CA
