Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

This fight is for everything.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

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

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

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

In my day, never was longer.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

In after Baud. Damn.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Amusing

Here is a quick test to tell if you have succumbed to irrational Bush Hatred. Read your posts back to yourself, and if it sounds like something Maureen Dowd wrote after two cosmopolitans, you are an irrational Bush hater. Check out this ridiculousness:

Sopranos Finale

I think last night’s episode sort of made up for a rather slow and lackluster season. All-in-all the decision-making reminded me of the Bush administration interagency process. As one of the captains said, “I’m willing to die for a good cause, but this is bullshit.” Meanwhile, the fearless leaders stuffs his face with ice cream while dreaming of Rommel.

It’s all there- projection, distortion, and contempt, all wrapped up in a condescending wrapper of references to pop culture.

BTW- that wasn’t written by Dowd. That was written by the ‘moderate’ Matt Yglesias (who, btw, went to Harvard), and is really smart- just ask him. At anyrate, Dowd would probably need more than two cosmopolitans before writing that crap.
