Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Giving up is unforgivable.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

We still have time to mess this up!

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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.
