Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In my day, never was longer.

The revolution will be supervised.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

People are complicated. Love is not.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

My father informed me this morning that he thinks Jack Chenoweth of Swift Boat fame may have been his fraternity brother at Theta Chi at Ohio University in the early 60’s.

    Does that make you part of the “web of connections” that leads back to President Bush?

    Yep, this ties John directly to Karl Rove and the VRWC.
