Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

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

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

In my day, never was longer.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Republicans do not trust women.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I think blogads is hosing this site, and I can’t even get in to take ’em down temporarily, so you will just have to flame each other (and me) at a slower pace.

Personally, I blame FEMA. Or Mike Brown.

    I blame Clinton. His wanton ways have allowed Blog-ads to proliferate at an untold pace thus causing the slow-down and eventual implosion of this center-right site.

    I’ll ignore the fact that blogads’ LLC company was formed in 2002. It is still Clinton’s fault.

    Can’t blame FEMA. If it was up to them, the blogads wouldn’t have been up in the first place.

    Groan…that was bad. And yeah, the site has been noticeably slower. Frustrating not to be able to get a quick fix of sweet, sweet vitriol, mixed in with a soupcon of rational thought, and seasoned with bullshit. It’s like manna from heaven. :)

    I think we all know what the problem is: Bush doesn’t care about bloggers.

    I think we all know what the problem is: Bush doesn’t care about bloggers

    Would that be because he thinks the majority of bloggers are black?
