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.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

In my day, never was longer.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

This blog will pay for itself.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

You remember this Monty Python sketch, don’t you:

Albatross Woman: Albatross! Albatross! Albatross! You’re not supposed to be smoking that! Albatross! Don’t take them!

Audience member: What flavor is it? What flavor is it?

Albatross Woman: Seagullsickle! Pelican-bonbon! Albatross!

Man with hat: Could I have… Could I have two ice creams, please?

Albatross Woman: I haven’t got any ice creams, I just got this albatross!

Life imitates Monty Python:

Retailer Toys R Us Inc. slammed by intense competition from discounters such as Wal-Mart, may sell its toy business and focus on its fast-growing Babies R Us unit, the company said Wednesday.

Toys R Us, whose shares fell 6 percent on the news but later recovered, said it plans to separate the ownership of its two businesses and is looking at many ways to accomplish this, including a spin-off of Babies R Us.

    Who pissed in your corn flakes Andrew?

    The Albatross salesman sells albatross, they ask him for Ice Cream

    Toys R’ Us, whom we would assume sells toys, will sell everything but.

    Have a nice day, you charmer, you.
