Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

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

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

The willow is too close to the house.

Bark louder, little dog.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

People are complicated. Love is not.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

    Let’s see. They offer to improve a customer’s ability to express himself, for FREE. Clearly the Messrs. Lolly are commieislahomofascists.

    When real Americans speak their statements are laden with mispronuciations, fractured phrases, confused syntax and when all else fails, the passive voice.

    Real Americans don’t speak truthfully, they speak with truthiness.

    That video got me to (finally?) resolve a nagging question about usage of “more important/importantly”. important is the adjective, importantly is the adverb. From Dictionary.com:

    Usage noteBoth more important and more importantly occur at the beginning of a sentence in all varieties of standard English:

    More important (or More importantly), her record as an administrator is unmatched.

    Today, more importantly is the more common, even though some object to its use on the grounds that more important is an elliptical form of “What is more important” and that the adverb importantly could not occur in such a construction. More importantly probably developed by analogy with other sentence-modifying adverbs, as curiously, fortunately, and regrettably.

    I prefer “more importantly”.

    Another Zen video
    Segway Justice for Reporter with BDS

    I predict the defense will be:

    That’s not funny, Piers Morgan was injured when he fell off.
    George W. Bush was not injured by his fall off a Segway. But he should have been for starting a immoral illegal war that has killed over a million people!!!!!1!1

    Not as good as Conjunction Junction, but quite satisfying just the same.
