Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

The revolution will be supervised.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

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

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Second rate reporter says what?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Just watched the space shuttle Discovery lift off live on HDNET, and it seemed flawless.

It was, as it always is, breath-taking. Crooks and Liars has the video.

    It gave me chills, and our local radio station played the 80s song Major Tom. Woo Hoo!

    I looked right out my office window and saw it go up. Even from 80 miles away, no television in the world can capture how awesome a site it is.

    I was in the gym at the time and everyone just froze to watch it… Truly a marvel of human achievement.
