Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

Bark louder, little dog.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

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

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

No Justins, No Peace

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

9,000,000

Unless it like, totally sucks around here, or unless John totally assplodes the site because of tonight’s results, Balloon-Juice will reach 9,000,000 visitors. Drop by and say hi. If I can, I’ll try to figure out from Sitemeter who the 9 millionth visitor is. There’ll be a nice prize. Meanwhile, if you’re sick of primaries, NBC is airing the Best of Chris Farley. I’d forgotten how funny he was.

Update -April 23, 10:39 EST: If you look at the Sitemeter button on the bottom part of the left frame, you’ll see how close you are. I’m thinking later in the day today.

    I only hope I can be as successful as you guys… keep it up.

    Oh yes, if there is any silver lining to tonight, its that John’s head may actually explode at some point in the next two weeks. Not that I want that to happen, but it will be something to behold.

    9,000,000. Awesome. Since I’ve already admitted that John’s occasional confessionals about his former political self turn me on, I’ll just add that the *other* reason I come here several times a day is for the incomparable comment threads. Smart and funny and *both* sexy.

    NBC is airing the Best of Chris Farley. I’d forgotten how funny he was.

    Chris Farley was never ever funny. “Look at me; I’m a fat idiot!” isn’t funny, and that’s just about what every Farley routine came down to. Sure, the occasional routine left out either “fat” or “idiot” as the basis of humor, but none left out both and none expanded on those two bases.

    I am saddened that my hockey team lost tonight, eliminated from the playoffs in sudden-death overtime by the Flyers. My son will be unhappy when he hears, too.

    Sigh. Obama and the Caps both went down to defeat tonight. This world is so damned unfair.

    Crap. Zigged when I should have zagged, and hit “code” when I meant to hit “em”.
