Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

A consequence of cucumbers

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Usually wrong but never in doubt

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

So many bastards, so little time.

Come on, man.

Sick

I don’t know what I have, but I am sick as a dog. I have the sweats and feel awful. Nothing worse than feeling like crap in the summer. I think this is the first time I have been sick since I quit smoking on NYE.

    There’s a stomach bug going around, at least in my area of NoVA, maybe it decided to slum it in WV.

    Kudos on the no smoking. Been doing the “I’m quitting”/”Just one more” thing for the last 6 months. What’s your secret? Pure willpower or device?

    Sick in the summer does eat it. I had strep mid-August a few years back and about lost all sanity. 102 fever when its 95 out will do that.

    I’d say list symptoms for a blog diagnosis, but that might be percieved as “Fristian”. Better to give a doctor friend a call.

    Oh that sucks. (I just got over a good late-fall-style ailment myself.) Hope you feel better soon.

    Clever- I would rather not list the symptoms. Suffice it to say, Decided fencesitter might be on to something.

    Understandable. Was more of a joke than a true suggestion.

    Get well.

    Ditto. We lost a couple people at work to a bug that’s been working its way around the Houston area. Get well soon, bud.

    “That almost made me throw up.”

    Do you mean the thought of having one or that you actually tried it. sheesh, I was only kidding.
