Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

You cannot shame the shameless.

I was promised a recession.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

This really is a full service blog.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

You just know that a parody of this post is going to appear on Huffington’s Toast or Huffington is Full of Crap:

There I was, as is my Sunday morning tradition, watching Meet the Press while doing yoga. (Or is it doing yoga while watching Meet the Press? Whatever.) Tim Russert was interviewing Howard Dean. At least, I

    What, for doing yoga? I can’t imagine anything more cutting than mocking someone for exercising.

    I actually think this is good. Well, assuming she doesn’t go on to do something really loonyleft style stupid, which I think she avoided (that’s hard these days when defending Dean). The whole latte liberal thing is best combatted by latte drinking liberal showing they’re not out-of-touch and as opposed to out-of-touch people refusing to drink lattes and do yoga.

    “Downward Facing Dog?”

    She must have found a new husband/figurehead/empty suit to replace the old one–I hear the cojones-removing procedure is almost painless these days.

    “Why were you doing YOGA thats for the new age eco-freaks of the deprived 70s and MEET THE PRESS its the usial left-wing propeganda”

    Classic. Just classic. You need to turn that one into a bumper sticker, John.

    I assume wild bird meant:

    “Why was she [Ms. Huffington] doing YOGA? That’s for the new age eco-freaks of the depraved 70s and [those who watch] Meet the Press. It’s the usual left-wing propaganda.”

    Now that we have that straight, it’s easy to see the clear logic of your statement, wild bird.

    Here’s an idea, why won’t devine Yogi’s and their cult of devine followers send themselves into Darfur, Sudan and ohm the way into preventing the Arab Moslim government from its constant slaughter of black Muslims.

    This way they can practice what they preach instead of simply taking themselves out as they condemn soldiers who actually take the effort and have the guts to stop tyrannical regimes.

    “Downward-facing dog” was the name of the yoga position that Will Ferrell, in an SNL sketch a few years ago (host: Toby Maguire), spent three years learning so that he could have oral sex with himself (during a full yoga class, of course).

    After years of suggesting that Arianna should go have sex with herself (or words to that effect), I’m glad to see she’s finally taking the initiative.

    Yes, syn, way to stick it to those yogis, who are riding a bit too high on their horses these days. Next target for your withering satire: Spiro Agnew.

    SYN:
    Nice points. For some people its more fun to attack the US than to point out the realities of what America accomplishes. It distrubs them while they read Andrew Sullivan and the Kos Kids.
