Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

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

So many bastards, so little time.

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

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

He really is that stupid.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Cole is on a roll !

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Ted Barlow has his list of books up from the book survey.

Michele’s can be found here, Kimmitt’s can be found here, and my list is here. I have given up on the others- they just won’t play.

And Gary Farber has decided to be coy and won’t pare his list down below 100 books.

Michael Demmons has his list here.

    Lord of the Rings
    David Eddings: The Belgariad and The Mallorean Series. Sublime.
    Chronicles of Narnia

    I think the trailer to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe looks fantastic.

    Here are mine (in no order)- some books younger than teens, more like pre-teen, some are older, but all still good.

    The Black Cauldron series
    Wrinkle in Time series
    Mary Poppins series
    The Great Brain series
    Anne of Green Gables series
    The Once and Future King
    Chronicles of Narnia series
    That Was Then This Is Now books
    Light in the Forest, The Trees
    Judy Blume books -Forever, Blubber
    Endless Love by Scott Spencer
    Little Princess, My Secret Garden
    A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court, Huck Finn
    Kristen Lavransdatter series by Sigrid Unset

    There are more but hard to list them all. They don’t write ’em like they used too, ey?

    Oh and can’t forget the ‘Flowers in the Attic’ series, just the first 4 written by the real author before she died. Most under-rated trashy books ever.
