Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

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

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

    Isn’t it beyond ironic that the Publisher’s Clearinghouse spokesperson is being foreclosed on?

    Now when Ed shows up at your door he’ll say “Your A Winner…of a house guest!! HEYYY-OOOHHHH!!!! What’s for dinner?”

    Waiting for someone to foreclose on the White House. Dubya put 475 second mortgages on it to pay for Iraq.

    Good one, Bobzim. I was thinking along similar lines: “Too bad Ed McMahon can’t expect anyone to show up at his door telling him he’s won the Publisher’s Clearinghouse sweepstakes. . .”

    New stimulus plan: Pay-per-view pinks fight for your home. Proceeds pay off the winner’s mortgage, loser gets foreclosed on.

    First up: McMahon vs. Holyfield!

    Will McMahon’s broken neck slow him down, or can he still get in and bite off some ear?

    It’s hard for me to get all broken up over a millionaire losing his mansion. BUT… if said person assigns great sentimental value to his home (or what-have-you), I’ll hold my tongue.

    I say this because I’m about to lose something I care greatly about… and it looks like I won’t be able to stop it.

    The problem appears to be more widespread than we thought.

    Sorry, no sympathy here. To compare what’s happening to these two guys is an insult to those who did get hurt by the loan industry scam.

    Forelosures..check.
    Crude…138+ today…check.
    Dow down over 400 today…check.
    Unemployment…yup 8.5 million…check.
    Chimpy gives a speech and blames the loss of jobs on new entries into the job market..recent grads…hmmmm.
    Senate report confirms we were LIED into “war” with Iraq…check.
    Hey America! How does it feel to be lied to?
    Can I give you a “check”?…ooops, that account is overdrawn.
    Anyway, nice to know that Ed and Evander are in the same sinking boat.

    She added: “It’s scary. I never owned a home before in my life before I met Ed.”

    King replied: “I don’t think you’ll own one again.”

    Larry might want to work on that bedside manner.

    The really funny thing is if you read it carefully, the dude just went bankrupt…the “foreclosure crisis” is his public umbrella for saving face.
