Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

No one could have predicted…

Trump should be leading, not lying.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

So many bastards, so little time.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

This really is a full service blog.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

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

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

I really should read my own blog.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Campaign Nicknames?

A reader suggests that the only thing Edwards brings to the Kerry campaign is big money trial lawyer connections, and thus wonders if the Kerry/Edwards ticket should be called the “Cash and Kerry” ticket.

Henry Hanks thinks this ticket should be called the “September 10th ticket.”

I prefer to call the “Tax and Sue in 2004.

Please list your entries below.

    Though not original to me, I liked…

    “The Outhouse campaign”- Two Johns, both full of sh!t. :o)

    Well, since you asked. . .:-)

    Given Kerry’s failed, borderline pathetic pursuit of Senator McCain to be his running mate, his not-so-subtle efforts to associate himself with another JFK from MA, and the inevitable involvement of the Hollywood left in this campaign, the nickname for the newly minted Democratic presidential slate is obvious:

    “Ticket of the Lesser Johns.”

    “Horseface and Pretty Boy” comes to mind, though I really like “Waffles and Grits” as suggested by DANEgerus.

    I believe I heard Laura Ingraham (talk radio) call them “Flip Flop and Mop Top”.

    I really like Henry’s the best: “The Sept. 10th ticket”.

    Actually, cash-and-carry is a long spot combined with a short futures position. I sense some irony there but haven’t time to flesh it out just now.
