Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

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

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

People are complicated. Love is not.

This fight is for everything.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Sorry folks- got to the parents house and couldn’t get my laptop to work, so I couldn’t make Christmas post.

At any rate, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    Merry Christmas, John Cole and everyone else as well..or whatever holiday you choose. We had duck and I made up a new dressing, with homemade wheat bread, pecans, apricots, cherries and celery, onions, etc. It was sooooo good with the orange sauce on top.

    Okay, it’s a little early, but I guess this is the first Merry Xmas of 2007.

    As for the ppGaz entourage, we went out for Chinese food at the fabulous China Chili restaurant. Flounder with black bean sauce, lo mein with snow peas, orange chicken and sizzling rice soup.

    ¡Que comidas deliciosas!

    FDDD, the demi-offspring, and I all had a pleasant Christmas, going nowhere, just staying home. Stan Rogers on the stereo in the newly refurbished family room…heaven.

    Christmas is 12 days, so “Merry Christmas” posts aren’t belated until after Jan. 5th.

    And Merry Christmas to you to. :-D

    Merry Merry to you as well….I hope it was a day of family, eating, drinking and napping (rinse, repeat).

    Hope that your entry into the New Year is joyous as well!

    Looking forward to a 2007 chock full of Balloon-Juice.

    Merry, merry to everybody. I am now back from the family homestead, and feel like subsisting on nothing but apple juice and Metamucil for the next three days.
