Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

T R E 4 5 O N

So very ready.

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

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

The lights are all blinking red.

    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.

    Hard to feel sorry for someone living in a $5 million house.

    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.
