Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Come on, man.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

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

Let’s finish the job.

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

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Infrastructure week. at last.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Republicans in disarray!

He really is that stupid.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

    totally agree. My buddies and I have said “I’m not that *strong* a swimmer” or “Hey you, I know you.” For years.

    Best Simpsons’ store name based on an SNL- and voice-actor who regularly appears on the show: a salon called ‘Hairy Shearer’s.’

    Eddie Murphy singing Kill the White People is the funniest SNL clip ever.

    Lame-O!

    So many great clips and you picked this one? C’mon John, watch the freaking show!

    Lesse, Schwety Balls, More Cow Bell, Buckwheat’s Been Shot, Richard Pryor’s Word Association Test, Coneheads, Killer Bees, Samurai Laundry, Cheeseburger Cheeseburger, Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood, the list goes on and on.

    That’s not even the best Martin Short clip.

    Eddie Murphy singing Kill the White People is the funniest SNL clip ever.

    Garrett Morris’ “I’m gonna get me a shotgun” song was better, IMO. Personally, I’ve been partial to their commercials. Schmitt’s Gay with Farley and Sandler was pretty funny. I’ll add another vote to “Cow Bell”, too.

    Might have to agree with mattski there, that may indeed be the funniest clip ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_PILVkA0MY

    Come on, no love for the Land Shark? And I’m sure there’s plenty of good nuggets in the vast wasteland that was SNL in the ’80s. (Remember the one with Reagan as the geopolitical idiot savant?)

    Or, for that matter, how about Will Ferrell as W in 2000? Hell, the man gave us “strategery” for fuck’s sake.

    The greatest ever was Phil Hartman as Reagan the mastermind, but I’ve never been able to find it online.

    “I’m not that strong a swimmer”

    I’ve used that so many times while swimming, or while watching someone else swim. They look at me funny, but I laugh every time!

    Possibly. But the best Simpson’s store front of all time? That would be “Habitat for Huge Manatees“

    That’s a good one but the best skit in years is “Sofa King”.

    Remember the one with Reagan as the geopolitical idiot savant?

    Actually, the joke was that Reagan’s senilty was all a cunning mask, and he was really a hypercompetent superman.

    The one that will always stick with me is Will Ferrell, back in 2000, doing a “see-the-future” sketch in the Oval Office which depicted George W. Bush’s America of 2007 with frightening pinpoint accuracy.

    The best Simpsons storefront was when they were walking through Chinatown and passed “Toys ‘L’ Us”
