Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

This blog will pay for itself.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

You cannot shame the shameless.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

This fight is for everything.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

After roe, women are no longer free.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

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

This post is in: 

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.

    John totally assplodes the site because of tonight’s results,

    That’s always likely. I’d curse out WordPress, but I’m scared to jinx something.

    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.

    No worries. John’s teaching Tunch to maul Hilbots.

    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.

    So the first comment with a new email address needs to go through moderation? Wow. You guys getting hit badly by trolls and spam, or is this just the default setting?

    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”.

    Le sigh.
