Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

Let’s finish the job.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

    One of my favorite series of all time. Too bad the movie stunk.

    If you like Adams, try some of Terry Pratchett’s stuff if you haven’t already. Pratchett lacks the sheer loony brilliance of Adams, but he’s still very funny and Discworld has become a fantasically well-realized universe.

    I’ve read this “trilogy” twice. Skip the movie, though. The books will keep you laughing.

    I’m reading that now, also, as a matter of fact. My dog-eared pages thus far: 174, 224, 243-244, and 278, which is easily the most applicable to american politics.

    I can’t reccommend Terry Pratchatt and Neil Gaiman’s combined effort, Good Omens more highly. Terribly funny book. I’ve also started the Discworld series.
