Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Books are my comfort food!

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

This fight is for everything.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

When I was faster i was always behind.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

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.
