Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Everybody saw this coming.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

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

He really is that stupid.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Strawberry was good.

But Pomegranate/Blueberry is amazing.

    April 11, 2007. Balloon-Juice is now renamed “Fruit Juice”, apparently Cole’s new boyfriend approves, and ideas for new blog posts has officially hit rock bottom.

    And for what it’s worth, Orange Julius could kick all their asses with its pinky.

    Rome likes her some Orange Julius, although the red variety kind of sucked!

    How dare you ruin my thread on the DELICIOUS HOLA FRUTA with a thread on thatgrumpy old man?

    And to be honest, I don’t know what I like more- the actual ice cream or saying Hola FRUTA!

    Forgive! But they don’t offer Hola Fruta in my area, so I thought I could ignore your obviously biased endorsement.

    And besides, I thought it was an open thread!

    Woops – we seem to have lost all the emails:

    The White House said Wednesday it had mishandled Republican Party-sponsored e-mail accounts used by nearly two dozen presidential aides, resulting in the loss of an undetermined number of e-mails concerning official White House business.

    Congressional investigators looking into the administration’s firing of eight federal prosecutors already had the nongovernmental e-mail accounts in their sights because some White House aides used them to help plan the U.S. attorneys’ ouster. Democrats were questioning whether the use of the GOP-provided e-mail accounts was proof that the firings were political.

    Nothing to see here, folks. Move along…

    Hola Fruta is made by Jews with the blood of gentile babies.

    Whatever, you abortophile. Actually, it sounds Mexican, so I’m guessing the illegals brought it over with them in backpacks to peddle to the masses and John Cole so they will become addicted, gay, and constantly saying “Hello, Fruit” every damn time they get thirsty.

    Shredded and permanantly deleted, I’m sure.

    Sounds yummy….but….is there a sherbet out there that does NOT have corn syrup in it?

    At least it’s not ‘high fructose’. But why have it at all?

    Just wonderin’.

    Carry on….

    Seriously? Because corn syrup is cheaper than real sugar.

    Mmm…Orange Julius. I’ll have to take your word on the Hola Fruta — those bastards don’t ship to Canada.
