Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

This really is a full service blog.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

People are weird.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

Come on, man.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Simile Dickinson…

This may be the funniest damn thing I have read in a long time…

Almost as funny as this, which I had forgotten about. Although I have to disagree with this:

On Second Thought… Triumph’s immortal moment was actually telling Simon Cowell, a guest on the show, that he had a better title for “American Idol.” Triumph suggested the title, “British HOMO.”

I think Triumph’s greatest moment was interviewing Jon Bon Jovi and finding out that bon Jovi was going to have a role in a John Carpenter Vampire movie, and Triumph remarked:

“Finally, a role that requires you to suck.”

    The clip where triumph went to one of the debates in ’04 was hilarious.

    I also enjoyed when he interviewed Karl Rove in Spin Alley:

    “Ah! Bush’s Brain! I was expecting a much smaller man!”

    Triumph, funny.

    Miller, not funny. He reminds me of most of the people I have not liked in my life … people who think that rudeness is funny. You know, because a lot of times, funny is rude … and funny. But rude by itself, not funny.

    From my 30,00 word essay on the topic: Rudeness is fine, I employ it all the time. Rudeness, good. However, if the goal is to be funny, rudeness, no good … by itself. Do you see the distinction? Rudeness, not funny. By itself. In high school, sure. But we grew up.

    Miller knows as much about reality as he did about football, which is why he doesn’t have the football gig any more.
