Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Everybody saw this coming.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

    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“

    No votes for “I’m the only gay Eskimo”?

    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”
