Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

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

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

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Books are my comfort food!

In after Baud. Damn.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

I really should read my own blog.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Hot air and ill-informed banter

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

    Gee, Republicans lose congressional seats over such indescretions. It certainly is nicer to be a Democrat, but I’d have to have my conscience removed and my IQ lowered.

    I’m sure that if his version turns out to be true and no charges are ever filed (there doesn’t appear to be any yet) that you will issue a swift and public apology and retraction? Probably not. Why waste good snark potential for the truth?

    I’m sure the Chicago Tribune is all over this, since they wanted to know what a husband asked his wife in sealed papers a few months back.

    Damn Republicans! What kind of people would take an innocent Good Samaritan and make him look like a john? Dammit, the man saw a woman who had obviously been in a wreck on the way to a night out dancing. There she was, stumbling around in her dance-floor stilleto heels and leather mini-skirt, obviously dazed from a collison that not only disabled her car and put her afoot, but also knocked her bra and panties clean off! And she was just kneeling in gratitude before the man who stopped to help her when the jack-booted Nazi stormtroopers burst in! Bastards!

    Story Update:

    “The charges were dropped against Hollowell were dropped when it was determined that the ‘female’ prostitute that he had picked up was actually David Brock in a cocktail dress. ‘Yes, he’s a prostitute–but not the kind that falls under our jurisdiction,” commented the police spokesman. ‘Mr. Hollowell’s consorting with him was therefore distasteful and represented an utter lack of human dignity–but it did not break the law. We apologize for the misunderstanding.'”*

    *–this bulletin brought to you by the Deeply Sarcastic News Service.

    To Mr. Hollowell’s credit, he did the smart thing: immediately distance himself from every powerful politician who might be embarassed by association with him. They won’t be happy with him, but they’ll remember that he threw himself on the grenade that he dropped. Anyone who tries too hard to associate him with Senator Kerry will now just look partisan.

    I wish more politicians would demonstrate even this tiny bit of opportunistic shame when they get caught in a scandal.

    Mr. Eiland,

    Please, these monitor wipes are expensive, as is this Kona coffee. Please, in the future, place a prominant label on any DSNS articles that a deeply hilarious.
