Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

We still have time to mess this up!

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Don’t See this Too Often

Here is something you don’t see every day- an ode (well, not really an ode) to WalMart.

Because curiosity got the better of me while I was writing this and because google rules, here is an actual Ode to Walmart:

Ode to Wal Mart

isles and isles
of bargins piled
high–
as eye can
see
triumphant consumers
generals and colonels
march down battlements
armies
clutch toy cars
plastic princess barrettes
ride to battle in plastic baby seats
babies learn to seek
cheapest deals
before they can talk

It goes on. The internets is great.

    I like poetry. Though I’m sure I’m missing something with the word “isles” – which is short for islands.

    I wonder if they meant “aisles?” I might just be missing the symbolism though. You know how those poetry people are!

    Or, I might just be too much of a stickler for grammar and spelling.

    It is called “the Walmarts” by my Aunt. I don’t know why it is referred to this way, I shop at Target.

    Michael beat me to it. I was going to say “islands and islands?”
