Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

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

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Be a wild strawberry.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Books are my comfort food!

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Public Relations Disaster

I have no idea what is going on at Blogshares, but according to this, Balloon Juice has been experiencing some management problems:

Balloon Juice suffered a huge setback with several analysts urging their clients to ditch the stock as it suffered a public relations disaster. The exact nature of customer dissatisfaction was not known but Village Idiot was rumoured to have had a hand in it. Industry insiders suspect a Critic (artefact) was involved. Balloon Juice share price dropped from B$567.42 to B$226.97

Village Idiot declined to comment on the recent speculation.

Then there is this:

Balloon Juice suffered a huge setback with several analysts urging their clients to ditch the stock as it suffered a public relations disaster. The exact nature of customer dissatisfaction was not known but IXLNXS was rumoured to have had a hand in it. Industry insiders suspect a Scoop (artefact) was involved. Balloon Juice share price dropped from B$482.19 to B$279.67

IXLNXS declined to comment on the recent speculation.

I have no idea what the hell is going on. I do apologize to any shareholders who were hurt. Heh.

    Shit, there’s goes my nest egg. It’s that damn FEC and McCain-Feingold, I guess. Maybe you should start being a little more usurious with your blogads. It’s not your conscience, but we share holders, to whom you’re responsible, John. Or what about getting in on that K-Street action?

    Well, at least I have my social security, right? Right?
