Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

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

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

In after Baud. Damn.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

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

Second rate reporter says what?

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Shooting up the GOP

By now you have heard about this:

A shot apparently was fired at the Republican Party headquarters in downtown Huntington while President Bush’s speech accepting the GOP nomination for president was being televised.
No one was hurt in the 10:30 p.m. Thursday incident.

“We heard a pop. We realized it was a gunshot and we were kind of scared,” said Gayle Adkins, a volunteer of Huntington.

Others said they didn’t see anything except for some of the banners jumping as the bullet whizzed over their heads. Police could not locate where the bullet landed.

From this we can learn one of two things:

1.) The bullet was a message, and no one intended to shoot anyone.

-or-

2.) The shooter was from out of state.

West Virgnian’s do not miss what they are aiming at.
