Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

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

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

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

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

Begging For a Caption

Photographers always seem to catch Howard Dean in a moment, don’t they? Personally, I think Howard Dean is a great guy and really was a great governor, but he needs to stay away from the media. He just doesn’t do it well.

This is his lame impression of Gene Simmons. (AP Photo/Stephan Savoia)

    Howard’s a cutie. If he weren’t hitched, I’d do him. I say this as a woman not given to appreciate older men (though I do like short men, and he pings my shortydar!).

    That was close to my first reaction: “What the hell? Is he acting out a FFM 3-way scene from some porno?”

    Governor Howard Dean, shown while addressing delegates at the New Hampshire Democratic Party Pan-Fetishist and Hedonist League of Voters Biweekly Conference and Orgy, emphasized his prowess with a rousing speech with a refrain of “I’ve got the fist, got the tongue, but guess what’s behind the podium?” It was reported that noted journalist Helen Thomas fainted while moaning, “Show me the surge, baby!”

    How about

    “We had double the turn-out that the Republicans had in Iowa and now we’re set to kick ass in New Hampshire!”

    What, too close to the truth to be comfortable? You wussies.

    He’s one of the best things that has happened to the Democratic Party in decades. His unwavering devotion to his 50 state solution gave us Congress in 2006 and is bringing the money for 2008.

    I would have voted for him in 2004 but I’m very glad he ended up where he is right now.

    Dean is a great guy and really was a great governor, but he needs to stay away from the media assholes who use images and audio out of context to create false smears against people just for the fun of it.

    It’s not unlike The Scream, where false audio (without the noise in the room) created a totally false impression, which became the truth because it ran 24 hours a day until it did.

    The moral is that if we give into that, all public figures turn into Stone Phillips, which is what happens when photogenic becomes the standard.

    Some friends of mine work for Democracy for America, a political advocacy and GOTV nonprofit group that grew out of the Dean for America PAC in some way I’m not totally clear on. DfA technically isn’t affiliated with the DNC, but Dean was very involved in getting it started, obviously, so they see a lot of him. At some holiday party — I think this was before I knew them, or maybe it was just after I met them but before I knew them well enough to be invited to the party — there was a game of charades. Apparently he’s good at the game, because he got them to guess “elephant” in record time.

    Sure, the media is dysfunctional and assholes and all that, but Dean, bless his heart, is confident and fun enough to be willing to be undignified. In what context would an imitation of Gene Simmons look flattering?

    THat wasn’t my caption suggestion, but my reaction to that picture.
    Caption suggestion: Punk-ass Establishment Democrats – taste the black sperm of my VENGEANCE!

    What did he actually say at that moment? Was is something along those lines? They hated him in 04. And DFA’s last campaign was to make sure “progressives” won in Iowa, which meant Obama, Edwards, or Kucinich – they were identified by name. DFA is run by Howard’s brother Jim.
