Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

He really is that stupid.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Their freedom requires your slavery.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Alias Cancelled

Alias is no mas:

The mice at Disney-owned ABC waited until 5 o’clock on the day before a national holiday to announce that “Alias” is kaput.

The Jennifer Garner drama series will have its final broadcast in May.

Shoot.

    Well, at least 7th Heavan was cancelled too.

    What will Sidney do with her wig collection? And will the conference room of endless explosions be re-purposed as an Apple Store?

    hmm, dunno the series, but it’s “kaputt”, with 2 t’s.

    Totally OT, just to save your Thanksgiving day:
    You were right not to stand in line for hours to buy that xbox 360:

    My spanish speaking friends like the show. Reminds them of mexican soap operas, for some reason.

    Or maybe some people like a show that only requires a 3rd grade English vocabulary to understand?

    The thread on “7th Heaven” at TelevisionWithoutPity has always been funny (it’s currently called “7th Heaven: We Hate This Goddamn Show”), and the recapper’s hate of the show made the recaps hilarious.

    For that matter, Erin’s recaps of Alias are great, too. She’s so popular, she did commentary on at least one season of the DVDs.

    But I imagine the love for Alias around here has more to do with a certain actress’ assets than any snark potential or the Victor Garber/Ron Rifkin fabulousness (my reasons for watching).

    I enjoyed Alias at first, but then it just got too mystical-magical with all of that prophecy stuff. Most shows are on way too long after they’ve jumped the shark.

    They’re already served by the national news.

    Try watching Fox, then. It’s a cut above the MSM no-knowthing garbage, vocabulary-wise.

    Alias used to be such a great show, although I never thought Jennifer Garner was all that. I just liked the show.

    This season has been so bad, though, that even my friends who are crazy about the show aren’t all that upset it’s being cancelled. I guess that’s one way to let the fans down easy.

    I agree with Steve. I used to love how J.J. Abrams managed to reinvent the show every season. But this year, with Michael Vartan, Lena Olin, Greg Grunberg, and god knows who else gone, it’s just not worth it anymore.

    What will Sidney do with her wig collection?

    She’s welcome to bring them over here, and I’ll show her what to do with them.

    I thought that last season got a bit weak towards the end, but it was only a minor slide compared to the train wreck that has been this season. I’m sorry, but I’m just totally disinterested in this show now. I’m left hoping that this season of “24” doesn’t blow.

    I just hope Rifkin gets the long deserved Emmy nod this year.

    Did TNT cancel Alias reruns? I don’t see it listed on their schedule. What’s the story?
