Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

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

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Whoever thinks I have gone crazy should go here and watch people who hate Arnold Schwarzanalphabet really make themselves look silly.

Now I am taking a break.

    How far could he take this before it wouldn’t be silly anymore?

    I think it is a silly claim from the get-go. I had to watch it four times to make out the products in there, and I would be willing to bet Pepsico donated to Gray Davis and Cruz Bustamante.

    Looks to me like they were pretty clearly at a cafeteria eating lunch.

    This was a spoof. Tell me this was a spoof. Nobody could really be this clueless, right? While there are plenty of real reasons to dislike the Gropenator, such as his failure to balance the state budget, this is… uhm… stupid?

    According to the press release, the ad contains visible logos for five different PepsiCo products.

    I just don’t find it plausible that the Hollywood governor would a) make a real political ad at an un-staged meeting without makeup or prop control or anything; b) have a production team so sloppy that they would put all those logos in by mistake. Keep in mind that if Arrowhead or Pepsi didn’t like their products being associated with a politician, they could sue. Why take the chance? Most filmmakers don’t and that’s why you don’t generally see corporate logos in movies and TV shows except in the case of product placement. Read this, for instance.

    The Terminator movies had a ridiculous amount of Pepsi product placement, if I recall.

    Speaking as fan of Gov. Ahnuld: Fleming’s right — showing Pepsi’s sodas, waters, and chips was absolutely done on purpose. No way this happens unless someone did it on purpose.

    I have no idea if Pepsi paid to be in the commercial, or if was just a “favor” from the Governator. But hey, if the Gov’s going to do favors for political supporters, this is as harmless as it can get. Still weird, though.

    Oh come on now. I cannot believe we’re talking about product placements when the state is damn near bankrupt and the Governator’s doing nothing to rein in spending and fix the tax system except flexing his blubber and doing stupid political stunts. This is *STUPID*. There’s real issues to talk about. What next, are we gonna talk about the Michael Jackson trial or the runaway bride?! Sheesh.

    Nope, I just can’t see why people would think that Arnold would do such a thing.
