Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

No one could have predicted…

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

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Let there be snark.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

This blog will pay for itself.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

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

Amusing Anecdotes

The Instapundit links to this Frank Cagle piece about the amateurish way some Tennessee legislators accepted bribes, and it reminded me of this quote from the Aviator:

Jack Frye: You want me to bribe senators?

Howard Hughes: I don’t want them bribed, Jack. I want this done legal. I want them BOUGHT.

    I guess if the people of Tennessee don’t care, what the hell, right? Same goes for Congress too.
