Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

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

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

No Wonder!

No wonder the military is strapped for troops. A tour of duty is only two weeks, apparently.

    That’s two weeks more than Bush and Cheney combined have ever spent in a combat zone.

    That’s two weeks more than Bush and Cheney combined have ever spent in a combat zone.

    But only half the time of a Presidential Vacation.

    Clearing brush is hard work.

    I wonder if going hunting with Cheney qualifies as being in a combat zone.

    Only if you’re not Cheney.

    Why did Lindsay go all the way to Iraq? Didn’t he know that he could just use the Minneapolis airport bathrooms?

    I think they meant “Tour by a doodie.”

    Dude, please.

    I wish my only beef with the media was cutesy headlines. Get a damn grip.

    As a resident of SC I am wondering why in the hell they couldn’t keep him for at least a year. Lindsey is going to face opposition this time not for his war stance but rather for his support of bushes immigration policy. the resident rednecks here dont mind the war but they are frothing at the mouth over the immigrants

    It has to do with race. I’m sad to say, but I’m just amazed at how these are such big issues in the south, but up north here we just don’t care that much.

    We’re more concerned that immigrants coming here are getting paid fairly, so the wage market isn’t being driven downwards.

    TOS – Nobody talks about Asians and others crossing in from Canada. With Canada’s “Liberal” immigration and refuge laws the chances of al-Qaeda being in the US are greater from the Northern border than the Rio Grande. For decades the Mexicans picked cherries and apples in Michigan, why the problem now?
