Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

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

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

People are complicated. Love is not.

T R E 4 5 O N

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

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

    Whoever wrote Darrell deserves at least an A-. Paul L., no better than a B-, I’d say.

    I think this semester Darrell was actually two students, and one was definitely better than the other. Or maybe he’s always been two personalities. Maybe we should call them Ditsy Darrell and Demented Darrell if they evah come back.

    Also, I think ppGaz has been selling the answers to various spoofers, so disciplinary action may be required.

    Two annoying requests I’ve received in the last days of this semester:

    “The final project is due at the exact time that the final exam ends. Could we have a three hour extension, to account for this lost time?” (For a project assigned six weeks ago. No.)

    “For various important reasons I’d like to get my final grade as soon as possible. Could I please take the final exam a week early, and and ask you also to grade it and my project a week early?” (Also no.)

    It certainly seemed like it. Especially the way he’d go from calling you a traitorous cockroach subhuman in one thread to hail-fellow-well-metting you in the next one. It really made no sense, unless he was written by committee or was subject to violent mood swings/personality disorders.

    Wait; you’re putting together final grades in May?

    Damn. Wish I’d gone to your college. We were still taking finals in June.

    It’s West Virginia. Spring is prime meth-producing time. Every day longer in school is lost profit and fewer lost teeth.

    That’s a pretty damn plausible explanation for Darrell’s absence, anyway.

    Why does anybody care about Darrell? Right now, he/she/it/they is/are not posting — is Darrell the BJCC equivalent of Banquo’s ghost?

    Punchy, as a devout Pastafarian and sometime pirate, I take great offense that my religion makes you laugh.

    However, since I have every Friday off (religious holiday), I find I can’t hold a grudge.

    May his noodly appendage touch you.

    Lefties handle losing a election in their own civilized way.

    I guess that liberal “stay out of my bedroom” talking point does not apply when you have more than 2 children per couple.
