Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

It’s a doggy dog world.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The words do not have to be perfect.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

Umm- A Big Fin?

Monica Crowley, in a discussion on shark attacks and how to avoid them on MSNBC’s Connected Coast to Coast:

John, what should swimmers look out for? (paraphrased)

How about a big f-ing fin, for starters?

    A bunch of people screaming and running in the other direction is a good sign, too.

    And if you see Richard Deryfus hanging out with Roy Scheider, you might want to get out of there.

    Also,you don’t want to be swimming if you see clouds of chum in the water.

    I think there’s also this “bump bump BUMP bump” sound that you hear right before one attacks.

    I remember seeing Jaws when it first came out. I was afraid to go in the water for months after that. The funny thing is that I lived in Colorado Springs at the time and the only water around was a lake.

    Mike S,

    I actually saw Jaws in Wildwood, New Jersey. I never understood why my dad took me and my sister to see that movie the first day of our summer vacation in a beach town, although it did make his life much easier since he didn’t have to watch us in the ocean, because we never went in.

    Great punchline, John. Almost got a spit take here.

    Actually, I don’t think any sharks skim the surface of the water like that, not even great whites. I’ll defer to any marine biologists, but I’m pretty sure of that.

    The bum-BUM bum-BUM bum-BUM-bum-BUM-bum-BUM soundtrack happens with all tropical species, though.

    Sidereal, I did see a tiger shark do that once.
    (luckily, I was sitting on the deck of a boat at that time, or the cardiac arrest would’ve got me even if the shark hadn’t).

    Reminds me of a Far Side cartoon where a couple of sharks are talking and one says something like, “the dorsal fin! How many times has that given us away?!?”
