Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

White supremacy is terrorism.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

People are weird.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Idiocy or Honesty

I am not sure why Tim Blair is being so hard on James Wolcott.

We should be applauding Wolcott’s honesty. After all, other people having to live with the consequences of the ideas and sentiments of the limousine class that resides in Manhattan is what liberalism is all about.

    Just read Woolcott’s trackbacks. Wow, right-wingers seriously don’t get metaphor…

    John, we “get” metaphors. Heck, we’ve even been known to employ them every once in a while.

    That being said, I’m all in favor of as many people as possible pointing out a shitty metaphor.

    I thought it was Chris Matthews who didn’t get metaphors?

    We “get” metaphors, John. Yet those of us who just made it through Frances in fear for our lives take someone wishing death and destruction on us kinda’ personally. Go figure: I guess that must prove his point that we’re a bunch of unsophisticated brain-dead peons.
