Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

This blog will pay for itself.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

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

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

Roberts & O’Connor

This is the second funniest thing I have read all day:

John Kerry may not be president, but his powers of observation are unrivaled:

From: John Kerry [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 1:37 PM
Subject: No Sandra Day O'Connor!

Dear XXXXX,

This much is clear already. Judge Roberts is no Sandra Day O'Connor.

True enough — if he were Sandra Day O’Connor, it wouldn’t have made much sense to pick him for the Supreme Court, since she’s, you know, retiring.

But maybe they’ve got more in common than Kerry thinks. After all, O’Connor dated Chief Justice William Rehnquist at Stanford law school. And Roberts? Well, he worked on Rehnquist’s briefs back in the ’80s.

People are feeling punchy today.

    John,

    Sorry to have to state the obvious, but perhaps the relevant point here is that Bush replaced a woman justice with a man (pardon my obvious sense of irony).

    Anyway, this is tantamount to you being offered a sugar substitute in a restaurant that actually turns out to be salt. We can only hope that if you complained about this poor “substitution”, that the restaurant staff wouldn’t be snickering away in the back over you being “punchy”.

    No silly, this was the point:

    A silly underwear joke. Which is why, of course, this was filed under HUMOR.

    It was a long way to go for the punchline — but worth it!! Classic.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Not only did he work on Rehnquist’s briefs, but I heard he also was JOCKEYING for a position on the Court.
