Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No one could have predicted…

Come on, man.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

I was promised a recession.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Republicans in disarray!

    Read the entire thing. I wish I had half the determination in my life as that guy. I hope he finds some way to reach his goal.

    Because it's Saturday, I've decided to let others do my work for me -- which leaves me free to eat lots of chips and maybe watch a baseball game

    1. Craig C sends along several links, all of them worth checking out. First, Tim Blair investigates a few nascent conspiracy theories springing up around the London bombings and in the process, develops one of his own. Also by way of Tim Blair, Andr…
