Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

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

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

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

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Cole is on a roll !

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

This really is a full service blog.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

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?”
