Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

In my day, never was longer.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

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

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

I thought Martha Stewart was getting screwed until I read this:

Stewart said she hadn’t given much thought to what her life behind bars would be like when asked how she would handle prison food, fellow inmates and strip searches. “I could do it,” she said. “I’m a really good camper. I can sleep on the ground.

    Clinton pulled the Mandela card too over his scandal troubles, and was deservedly ridiculed for it. I’d have thought that MS had more sense than to go to that particular well of idiocy–but then again, she wouldn’t be in the mess she’s in if she had more sense.

    some of the the stuff she said was close to unbelievable – all about how she cared for everybody except herself: she said things that other people are allowed to say about you IF YOU ARE A SAINT.

    and then told people to buy her magazine.

    Ok, so because she’s a little arrogant and said something mildly stupid, THAT changed your mind about whether she was getting screwed by the government or not?

    Yeah, that makes sense. Geez.

    The government went after her for publicity purposes, and then they prosecuted her to the nines for lying to a federal investigator (something that has NEVER been used as the sole charge in a prosecution) because they didn’t want to look stupid when they would have been forced to admit they were asses and had gone after someone who hadn’t broken the law.

    But hey, Martha’s conceited and elitist and probably a bitch, so fuck her and the billion dollar company she created, I guess.

    Poor Martha. If her daddy was President, she would have good have gotten one of his friends to tear up this ticket.

    Did you really expect an intelligent comment from someone who supports the dim-witted Dems and other lefties?

    Well I won’t wander into was she or wasn’t she, but clearly since she said something (mind numbingly, mind numbingly[I could go on]) stupid she should be imprisoned, that nails it. She’s guilty. even though I don’t now the specifics of the case.

    Yeah, right. “I can take it in prison for five months. Nelson Mandela, whom I admire, handled it for 27 years.”

    Martha’s biggest problem is that she pisses people off and they want to have a reason to hate her.

    I can see this, and I don’t even like her.

    That was not the most politic of comments, and Martha’s still getting screwed.

    Nelson Mandela…

    This is off topic, but whenever I hear or see Nelson Mandela’s name, I immediately think of a local ultra-liberal pacifist minister who, in an attempt to be totally PC from his pulpit referred to Mandela as an “African-American.”

    LMAO! (These liberals are a rip at times!)
