Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

In my day, never was longer.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

No Justins, No Peace

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Thought I would make al ittle list of things I am thankful for, etc. Parents, friends, family, and pets are obviously included, so I am not even mentioning them.

Things I Am Thankful for in 2004 (in no particular order after the Steelers)

1.) The Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL
2.) A Global economy, which allows us to enjoy things like items #3-5
3.) Kona coffee
4.) Laphroiag scotch
5.) Imported cigars
6.) HDTV
7.) President Bush and Vice President Cheney- they aint perfect by any stretch, but I will take them over what the Democrats keep burping up any day of the week.
8.) That the junior Senator from Massachussetts is still Teddy Chappaquiddick’s understudy.
9.) That ESPN and other sports cable networks are starting to show lacrosse.
10.) Down comforters, fluffy pillows, and high count sheets in the winter.
11.) Air conditioning and iced tead in the summer.
12.) Long hot showers in the with good water pressure
13.) BBQ
14.) How easy techonology has made so many things (internet shopping, internet banking, blogging, cell phones, etc.)
15.) The PGA
16.) Every man and woman who is serving or has served in the military in defense of this nation.

Feel free to make your own list and link. And don’t forget to eat pork and sauerkraut tomorrow.

    What is eating pork and sauerkraut on New Years Day all about?

    I hope you have a happy and healthy New Year.

    To be even more thankful try Talisker. I was a Laphroiag drinker for years. Talisker still has pronounced smoke but is a little more balanced. Of course, I hesitate to intervene in a religious discussion of this nature.
