Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

This blog will pay for itself.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Second rate reporter says what?

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Ah, the different things are different argument.

The words do not have to be perfect.

I forgot there were two football games today and did not update my Fantasy Football lineups and Tiki Barber ran for 220 yards and two touchdowns and I had him benched and ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

    Heh, poor John Cole.

    I had a blast watching the Pats rip the Bucs to shreds. Though I admit I did start feeling sorry for their poor QB. Kid never really had much of a chance.

    I don’t know you well enough to call you a dumb ass, but that’s what I’m thinking. I know of what I speak.

    cheers,
