Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

American History and Black History can not be separated.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

I guess everyone’s dreams for a white Easter are coming true here in Motown.

Feh. I am tired of my feet being cold.

    Get yourself some battery operated warm socks.

    Or just wool socks. I love wearing them in the winter.

    I’m going to use the fact that it’s cold to renounce global warming, because I was dropped on my head as a child, and didn’t get enough love.

    Ahem.

    Hey, hippies, if you want to warm the globe, you’re going to have to burn more of that patchouli!

    How’d I do?

    That’s what we call winter in south Florida. We’ve spent most of this not-summer period in the 80s, with occasional jaunts into the low 90s. We got into the mid 70s last week, and it was positively brisk.

    I was heading up the on – ramp for I94 westbound in Ann Arbor to head home to LA after finishing grad school at U of M. It was the middle of May 1979, and it was snowing. As I headed on to the freeway I looked up and said, “I get it Lord, I’ll never come back again.”

    John, what is a West Virginian like you doing in this frigid tundra? I’m in southwestern Michigan, and it effing snowed so badly yesterday there were some school closings– it is still white on the ground. Feh, indeed.

    I usually put an exclamation point after “feh.” So from Ann Arbor and with respect to the snow, feh!

    I figure, in Carville’s formulation, that Bill has to be Mary Magdalene. Too bad there’s not an Apostle Dick, or Carville would have made room for himself in there.

    When I lived in Boca, I got a laugh every year in November watching all the furs come out to “keep people warm” when it got all the way down to 50 degrees. For five minutes. For one night.

    Boca was a great place to be rich, old, and without children at home. I met none of those criteria — sucked to be me.

    Hasn’t changed much, which is to say, it hasn’t changed at all.

    There was a “Peter” who was rock hard.

    I guess everyone’s dreams for a white Easter are coming true here in Motown.

    Indeed. I just got back from my mom’s, where they’re approaching 1000cm of snowfall so far this season. She needed the roof of her sunroom shovelled off, so husband and I got up there. It was v. easy to just walk from the nearest snowdrift up onto the roof — that’s how high the snow is. Unfortunately, at one point after coming back down, when walking across the yard, the crust broke and I dropped down with both legs through the snow, up to just a little under my armpits.

    Ever try to get out of snow that deep? There is no graceful way to do it. Needless to say, I was cursing quite heartily.
