Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He really is that stupid.

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

In after Baud. Damn.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

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

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Come on, man.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

    Perhaps it’s just me, but I think somebody feels a bit threatened…

    John, I don’t understand. Is Trudeau making fun of the onanosphere…err, I mean blogosphere? Isn’t that, like, illegal? Aren’t bloggers…like, you know, extinct, or at least an e-dangered species? Aren’t they all evolving into online magazine editors and contributors, or something like that? If so, when you go after them, don’t the yellow elephants come out and stomp on you in order to prevent any left-wing-traitors-I-mean-Dustbins-or-is-it-Durbins from using the endangered species act to prevent their total elimination and/or the NARAL-loving evolutionists from using their example to subvert Kansas?

    okay. I admit I’m dense.

    Is the “cat food” reference about the blogosphere’s apparent fascination with cat-blogging, or have I missed something?

    (I mean, what is UP with cat-blogging? How come dog-blogging, which makes much more sense since dogs are infinitely superior, isn’t nearly as popular in the political blogosphere as cat-blogging?)

    I was surprised to see Trudeau slamming bloggers as basically being the chock-full-o-nuts crowd who can’t get jobs in real journalism. Have I been missing something for the past three years? Guys like Joshua Marshall and the Gadfly people are, like, real journalists who have jobs in real journalism (at least those parts of it that haven’t been completely corrupted by corporate influences). And Juan Cole is, like, a real university professor who blogs as one of America’s foremost authorities on the Middle East. I don’t know which blogs Trudeau reads … wait, maybe it’s The Rude Pundit (who also makes me laugh; fuck yeah!).

    Sometimes I don’t get Trudeau. He’s usually funny, but sometimes he’s schmaltzy and saccharine or, like today, stupid. Could that be the Jane Pauley influence?

    And I think the “cat food” reference had to do with bloggers being poor. In that regard, I do not–repeat, do not–recommend Whiskas.

    The irony is that many top bloggers are gainfully employed in big-league jobs: Professor. Lawyer. Businessman. Economist. Writing about current events is just something they do in their spare time, whereas “real” journalists do it full-time, often with less impressive results.

    No, the irony is that people are getting their panties in a wad over the Sunday Comics. Among most people, that might be considered a sign that [1] you might be taking yourself a bit too seriously to be so defensive about a cartoon, and/or [2] you’ve completely lost your sense of humor.

    But not among bloggers. This is an insult!
