Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

A consequence of cucumbers

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

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

Some Good News

The news HAS been dreary lately, so here is a nice story that was forwarded to me:

Two months ago, Katie Brownell was happy to be playing Little League ball with all of her boy friends. Now, she’s a Hall of Famer.

The 12-year-old Brownell, who etched her name in baseball lore when she tossed a perfect game on May 14, striking out all 18 batters she faced in a six-inning game, on Thursday donated the No. 3 jersey she wore that day to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The jersey will be placed on display in the museum’s Today’s Game exhibit and later will become part of either the Women in Baseball exhibit or Youth Baseball exhibit.

    That is a good story! I think it is wonderful that baseball is honoring that.
