Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Bark louder, little dog.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Consistently wrong since 2002

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Momma Bear Has Died

Momma Bear, the sweet lady who actually designed the graphic to the right and spent hours chatting with me, e-mailing back and forth helping Kathy Kinsley design my old site, has died.

And that stinks.

*** Update ***

Andrew Ian Dodge also has a tribute to Momma Bear.

Dean Esmay has his thoughts here.

    Don’t send me condolences. I only knew her birefly. The folks I link4ed to are hurting bad, though.

    That’s sad news. I really like the graphic. It always took me out of whatever mood I was in (usually grumpy) and reset the system.
