Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Fight them, without becoming them!

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

Second rate reporter says what?

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

So many bastards, so little time.

Let’s finish the job.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

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

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

    On the one hand, this guy pisses me off.

    On the other … I think he’s a prick.

    A harmless one with just one “head” (sorry) in his collection – Dan “Don’t make fun of my last name damn it” Gurley – but still a prick.

    No, I can’t explain it.

    You know, Tim, John, you should invite some of the little RedState boys over. To get that brilliant POV that only “special” operators within the fighting 28%er Short Bus Brigades can provide. It’s been missing lately.

    Darrel may have succumbed to the terrorists, but I’m sure General Short Pants over at RS could ably fill in seeing this in one of current posts…

    It used to be that the Democrats just called our troops Nazis on the floor on the Senate.

    …So, let me get this straight. After spending two years attacking our troops as nazis, monsters, and human rights violators,…stroke, stroke, stroke.

    While there can be only one Darrel, you need another village idiot.

    Mr. Wizard (Don Herbert) died. I’d get up really early to watch Crusader Rabbit and Beany and Cecil before he came on to teach us all the cool shit we never learned in school. I made my little kid a volcano using vinegar and baking soda just like he did and all her friends sat in wonder. RIP.

    I’m starting to think the jokes about her running for President might be prophecies. House Matey informs me she is now saying her jail sentence is a message from God.

    Watch for a ghost written waste of trees book in the far-too-near future.

    War Takes Up Less Time on Fox News

    “If Fox’s audience is dominated by Republicans who are disgusted about hearing bad news on Iraq, it would stand to reason that you’d want to feed them less of it. Bill O’Reilly touched upon that idea on the air one night last December, telling viewers that the lowest-rated segment of his show the previous night was when Iraq was discussed. Ratings jumped at talk about Britney Spears, he said.

    The danger is whether those concerns eat away at journalistic credibility.

    They’re a news network, said CNN’s Klein, ”so it is surprising that they’re not covering the biggest story in the country and the world.”

    The Project for Excellence in Journalism steered clear of questions about what its findings proved. ”We just wanted to tell people that it does make a difference where you go for the news,” said the group’s Mark Jurkowitz.

    So with less on-air attention being paid to Iraq during the first few months of the year, what filled the void for Fox? PEJ’s report said the network gave the death of Anna Nicole Smith significantly more air time than its rivals.”

    Why doesn’t FOX News fill the gap in their war coverage with all the good news coming out of Iraq? They have that niche all to themselves because the BDS afflicted islamocommuabortofemifascists in the MSM would never show anything good that the Bush Administration does.

    So, what about that Paris Hilton?

    They said on the radio yesterday, that in response to a $500K bounty by Enquirer for a pic of PH in her pokie PJs, some chick inmate managed to cooch a cell phone (ouch?) past the guards and fire off two pics of her before her phone was….uh…snatched. Here’s betting the phone was left on vibrate.

    Sounds like a fun prison to me.

    Wrong.

    ‘’so it is surprising that they’re not covering the biggest story in the country and the world.’’

    Wrong again. Next I suppose you’ll be telling me that CNN is a ‘news network‘ too?
