Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

We’re not going back!

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

Come on, man.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

Letters to the Editors

Dear James:

I can't speak for Mickey Kaus and everyone, but most of us were joking with our treatment of Oliver Stone. And, dear, could you please stop pretending you are above us all, stepping in every now and then to referee the rabble? That whole mangling of names schtick ("Captain Crunch") and faux detachment from all of the blogs you read daily has gotten old. So what if you are a fashionable New York socialite writing for Vanity Fair who seems to be preternaturally concerned with the random online musings of middle America- you could just as easily be writing in your underwear in a loft in Hoboken after your double-shift waiting tables.

In other words, you don't NEED to be a condescending asshole to make your points, and it might be wise to remember that no one other than the 'bloggers' you mock are going to care enough to read your tripe. It sure as hell isn't going to show up in Vanity Fair, even if the "unabashed purpose" of the magazine "is to make icons out of idiots."

Regards,

John
