Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

People are complicated. Love is not.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

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

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Am I the only one who has been getting stream of consciousness spam lately? This latest one had the subject of ‘diagnose jerky,’ and the text stated:

“Unlike so many brides who have made their molten sandwich to us.When ball bearing near food stamp laughs out loud, coward about mortician daydreams.”

I have been getting a lot like this.

    I was getting that weird stream of consciousness stuff for a couple of months but I think my spam filter finally picked up on it. Lately I’ve been getting lots of Russian spam.

    I think I’ve read somewhere that it’s an ongoing attempt to defeat Bayesian filters. By “teaching” your anti-spam filters that ordinary “non-spam” words are spam, they hope that eventually you’ll have to dial back your spam protection… thus letting more of the crap through.

    Alternately, they’re hoping that a high proportion of “non-spam” words in the mail will cause your filters to start letting spam through.

    Either way, they’re bastards.

    Or it could be the Bayesian thing.
