Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

The lights are all blinking red.

Second rate reporter says what?

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Republicans in disarray!

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

So many bastards, so little time.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Why is it that you only lose your keys when you need to go somewhere in a hurry?

    Isn’t it a shame that there’s no key to be found to killing the undead? Stakes through the heart won’t actually do it.

    It’s called “state dependant memory.”
    That’s why retracing your steps works.
    Revving your engine as you’re going out is not the same state of mind as winding down, “Lucy, I’m home,” tossing your keys on the desk where they slid under the monitor. Memory is compartmentalized for easy reference, and incidently is why no one can remember that great joke that had everyone in stitches last night when you were all ripped.

    They’re in your left hand, hanging from their ring between your briefcase and your coffee cup, where you put them when you remembered on the way to the car that you needed to take the garbage out. Or at least that’s where mine were.

    It is caused by the same law that causes socks to disappear in clothese dryers, and come back as empty wire hangers in your closet.
