Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

“woke” is the new caravan.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Come on, man.

    How did you do? All “A’s?” Any “F’s?” What was your overall grade point average for the semester?

    I am not disclosing any information like that in the chances some of my students or peers do read this blog. Grade information should remain confidential.

    Grade information should remain confidential.

    But, for the record, I gave ‘F’s to every student I taught this semester. It was deeply liberating.

    Damn,
    I still have a lot of grading to do before grades are due tomorrow. I guess I shouldn’t be taking a break reading your blog. Bye bye.

    You know, “Back in the Saddle Again” was the first Aerosmith song I ever heard. Good way to start.

    True. But, if you graded yourself as a professor, what would you give yourself? Do you feel that your students left your class with a lot more knowledge than they came in?

    (I know, I sound nosy, but I do wonder sometimes if profs do a lot of self-evaluation and assessment of their own teaching skills. I know I had a few who knew their subject matter inside and out, but couldn’t teach worth a dime, and always wondered if they knew they were terrible teachers, or if they just thought they were always given dumbasses for students.)
