Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

People are weird.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

I really should read my own blog.

No one could have predicted…

You cannot shame the shameless.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

    Time to pick a fight with TZ:

    SAN DIEGO – American Airlines flight 590 from San Diego finally made it to Chicago late yesterday, after being delayed in an incident involving passengers heard speaking Arabic.

    It turns out six Iraqi men on board work for a defense contractor and were reportedly taking the overnight flight home after a job at Camp Pendleton training Marines headed for Iraq.

    Their boss says some of the other passengers complained after hearing them speak Arabic. Everybody was ordered off the plane. According to the airline, law officers questioned the men and then quickly let them go. But by that time it was too late for the plane to take off until Wednesday morning.

    Once again, 1 or 2 Bed-Wetters can cause 1) A flight to be grounded, 2) people inconvienced to get a pricey hotel room, and 3) Missed meetings, rides, luggage, etc.

    Why? Cuz a bunch of Brown People spoke something other than English. It’s now a suspicious activity to speak Arabic in an airport. Unreal. There just aren’t enough diapers in this world for all these idiots.

    I’m sure TZ will disagree with me.

    And since this is an open thread:

    I hereby move that we start torching media outlets if they don’t shut the fuck up about Princess Diana for a little while. It seems like every single damn day there is something about her in the news. Even if the story starts out about one of her kids it becomes: “Prince William, the son of Princess Diana, who died blah, blah, blah…”
