Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

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

Petty moves from a petty man.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

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

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

All hail the time of the bunny!

    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.
