Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

Let’s finish the job.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

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

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

Let there be snark.

We still have time to mess this up!

T R E 4 5 O N

This blog will pay for itself.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

    That site is my guilty pleasure — I visit it every day. There was a great little clip in February of a hamster munching on some broccoli, and every so often, he’d totally spazz out and kick his feet out of sheer excitement.

    I have this little guy as my desktop background. He just looks so damn joyous that it never ceases to make me grin.

    On a completely unrelated note to anything at all: I came across this US Presidential Speeches Tag Cloud thing while cleaning up my bookmarks.

    I was messing around with that Prez Speech Tag Cloud thingy and noticed the source code for it is freely available. Something that came to mind: it would be interesting to use it to make tag clouds for each candidate as they speak their way to the presidency.
    I don’t have the wherewithal to take on a task like that, but I can’t help thinking of someone like John Marshall doing it for Election Central.

    If I weren’t ears-deep in moose guts right now, fighting to spread freedom, justice, and delicious chocolate treats to the benighted land of Canuckistan, you two could look forward to a very special delivery on Easter. The kind of “special delivery” that can squeeze through almost any crack, burrow under any hiding place, and leave behind nothing but pain, sorrow, and a faint sprinkling of Peep-dust.

    Be nice to the bunnies.

    Peeps, bitches!

    Go back to that website, Easter Bunny. There’s a lovely story about the teeniest, tiniest bunneh saved from the dastardly lawnmower. It’ll warm your cockles.

    Speaking of cute I wonder how long it took the writers to come up with this title.

    There comes a time in every man’s life when he should start to consider that maybe, just possibly, he is a bit long in the tooth for action flicks. Unless the action involves high-speed chases in power wheel chairs.

    Not sayin’ Willis has reached that point…today. I’m just sayin’.

    And then he’d probably run for office. So forget it.

    Glenn Reynolds advocates violently suppressing muslin culture in Pakistan.
    Disgusting.

    PLACING THEIR SEVERED HEADS on those bamboo poles would seem a preferable response, but I suppose you can’t have everything. Still, it wouldn’t take much of that to nip this in the bud, I imagine.

    Peace Out.

    I love that site – my love for animals, and esp. for silly photos of animals doing cute/silly things, is vast and profound :)

    I must also put in a word for uglyoverload.com, which is to reptiles, insects, arthropods, less adorable mammals, etc., what cuteoverload is to the uber-photogenic.
