Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

The willow is too close to the house.

Cole is on a roll !

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Second rate reporter says what?

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The Wire

Watched a few more episodes of the Wire, and right now I put it up there with Boomtown, which is my all-time favorite cop show.

This is better than the Sopranos. Better than Oz.

    Boomtown was also an excellent show. A real shame that it was so short-lived. It is available on DVD as well.

    Boomtown was good until it abandoned its central idea of presenting the story from different viewpoints and became just another run-of-the-mill cop-and-DA show. I wasn’t surprised it didn’t survive long after that.
