Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

He really is that stupid.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

The words do not have to be perfect.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

The revolution will be supervised.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

No one could have predicted…

    Dan Riehl gave me my own thread, and all I got was this stupid T-Shirt thread on Riehl World View.

    Still, I think he’s warming to me.

    Why is the FDA acting like the appearance of contaminated basic food products is only a threat to the pet food chain, when these products are also used in the human food chain?

    What protections are in place to prevent unexpected (not specifically looked for) contaminants in basic food ingredients, especially ones purchased from overseas?

    Apparently melamine, a suspect in the pet food case, might be used to elevate the apparent food content of gluten and thereby raise its price in the marketplace. If food scam artists can do this as easily as it appears they might …. what is to prevent terrorists from using something like melamine foam (a rather benign material, aka Mister Clean Magic Eraser) as a carrier for more deadly toxins?

    When George Bush talks about the terrorists “following us home” why hasn’t he built a DHS that actually provides some security for basic things?

    Why can’t the Red Cross/Red Crescent talk about all of the Iraqis who aren’t suffering from malnutrition, unemployment, displacement, loss of their homes, loss of infrastructure, loss of life and limb?

    Because DHS was only for “Show and Tell”? Show and Tell is over now, cake and ice cream for the Iraq Victory is what we’re working on now.
