Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The revolution will be supervised.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

Please don’t feed the bears.

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

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

For the sake of attribution, the clip was put together by an Aussie law student named Hugh Atkin, who has had some good press for political parody in his own hemisphere. Atkin’s YouTube ouvre is here; the vid that made the papers is here.

Little known fact – if association with our site flushes Hugh’s reputation, it won’t necessarily circle the drain counterclockwise. I know you were wondering.

    Thanks! Good to get a laugh out of all this.

    I must note, though, that Obama said the word “Change” too optimistically, Edwards said it too angrily and Hillary seemed to have a double meaning when she said it.

    Don’t forget, it was also shrill and grating when she said it.

    Wrong. Obama was sending secret signals to his jihadi masters when he said it, Edwards’ hair was too well groomed and Hillary clearly meant she was going to castrate all Republicans.

    Snark aside, has anyone checked Frederick’s of Thompsonwood for a pulse lately? “… …. …. Change.”

    Sit by my side, come as close as the air,
    Share in a memory of gray;
    Wander in my words, and dream about the pictures
    That I play of changes.

    Thanks to Obama, I have this stupid song running through my mind.

    When Guiliani says “change” it’s cuz he’s trying to raise money.

    “Change?”

    “Change?”

    “Hey mister, got any change?”

    We have been in this business a long time. With our experience, we’re gonna have ideas for change combinations that probably haven’t occurred to you. If you have a fifty-dollar bill, we can give you fifty singles. We can give you forty-nine singles and ten dimes. We can give you twenty-five twos. Come talk to us. We are not going to give you change that you don’t want. If you come to us with a hundred-dollar bill, we’re not going to give you two-thousand nickels.. – unless that meets your particular change needs. We will give you.. the change.. equal to.. the amount of money.. that you want change for!

    it won’t necessarily circle the drain counterclockwise.

    I’ve always wondered, if you flush a toilet at the equator, theoretically the water can’t drain either clockwise or counter-clockwise. So does the water drain straight down with such powerful force that it sucks out all of your intestines? Has anyone tried this? I think the hardest part is finding a flush toilet on the equator.

    Last night I was talking to my sister in Michigan, asked her who she voted for…Mike Huckabee. I laughed and said something about fiscal Republicans might have a problem with somebody like that. I offered that the Democrats had 2 candidates many Republicans could vote for…you’d have thought I suggested the anti-Christ…like I said, Huckabee. I promise, it ain’t genetic.

    Hm, looks pretty similar to this video from Armando Iannucci’s show Time Trumpet. (You might remember Iannucci putting the boot into Obama in this article last week). I mean, Atkin might just have had the same idea, but if not it’s a bit crap of him to not give an attribution.

    You know, just for a change, I would like a candidate to say:

    We are going to restore the rule of law and respect for the Constitution and Bill of Rights; stop the revolving door of lobbyists owning Congress; remove legal status as persons from corporations; restore rational and needed oversight of industry to restore safe food and drugs for Americans; legislate to control bloated CEO salaries while stockholders lose; get the hell out of the illegal war in Iraq; legislate to insure we never again launch a preemptive war; legislate a national medical services plan that makes delivery of medical care a right for all Americans, into which ALL businesses and individuals will pay, and from which they may all draw as medical insurance with rational deductibles, and the entire industry will be declared a non-profit enterprise, enough of this insanity with one out of six Americans with NO INSURANCE AT ALL, and the rest of us paying for it anyway while insurance companies do any and everything to screw policy holders while concentrating on their CEOs and stockholders.

    No that’s what I mean by change.

    As good as “Changes” is, I think a more appropiate Bowie tune for primaries is this one, Little Fat Man Who Sold His Soul.

    Did you hear Rudy say “Change is a constant”?

    It’s that Jesuit education again.
