Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

This blog will pay for itself.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

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

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

The Love Shack, Baby

This is just weird:

The Roanoke Wal-Mart tried to turn its store into the retail version of a singles bar, designating “flirt points” and providing shopping cart bows to identify shoppers on the prowl for love, but enough customers complained to spoil the fun for everyone else. The Bentonville HQ ordered the Roanoke store to shut down its cruising night.

    Oh, man. What was that line from When Harry Met Sally?

    Please tell me I’ll never have to be out
    there again.

    Walmart has been doing this successfully in Germany. I guess this was an attempt to start date night in America.

    Some supermarkets have been doing this in the US for awhile. The head office might have used “complaints” as an excuse to stifle independent initiative on the part of the local manager. Wal-Mart doesn’t like that.

    If there were complaints, perhaps there were gay people participating. For lots of people, seeing gay people flirt at WalMart would be tantamount to seeing a full-on same-sex orgy in Housewares.

    OT: To the people who claim that Valerie Plame wasn’t undercover because she worked in McLean, note the following from the CIA website, which refers to high-level officials in the CIA who work at headquarters but are undercover:

    The Executive Director of the Central Intelligence Agency is currently under cover and cannot be named at the present time. Assisted by an Executive Board and the Directorate of Support, the EXDIR manages the CIA on a day-to day basis.

    The Directorate of Intelligence, the analytical branch of the CIA, is responsible for the production and dissemination of all-source intelligence analysis on key foreign issues. The current director is John A. Kringen.

    The Directorate of Operations is responsible for the clandestine collection of foreign intelligence. The current director is under cover and cannot be named at the present time.
