Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

In after Baud. Damn.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

Rumors of my death are certainly NOT exaggerated. However, the afterlife feels almost exactly like regular life, except with less Evel Kinevel. Weak.

    We took a vote, and would like to see BIRDZILLA replace Tim and Michael as a front page poster.

    Photographs were displayed on the altar as images of Knievel performing his death-defying stunts appeared on a large screen above.

    — BBC News

    Don’t look so death defying to me now.

    But I remember the 70’s. He inspired many. He became the Outlaw, I assumed he must be in opposition to The Man, even when he must have been in on the fix. The red white and blue color themes he adopted seemed in an antihero way to only confirm his rebel bona fides.

    In the 70s, he came to represent a flippancy toward authority, a freedom and a daredevilry we only wished we had.

    Awful Knawful, RIP.

    I would think the afterlife would have more Evel Knievel these days. In honor of this event I am going jump the Snake River Canyon in my Hoveround. Save some of those virgins for me (don’t let Evel bogart the cute ones)!
