Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

75% of people clapping liked the show!

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

All Canadians must watch what Colbert did to the theme of NHN on his show tonight.

Consider this an open thread.

    For some quality snark, check out the (apparently unmoderated) comments on McCain’s golf gear site.

    I saw what he did to the HNIC, (as in, Hockey Night In Canada), theme. What the hell is the NHN?

    It seems the American invasion of Iraq has brought a craze in body building and steroids al la carte for every one. Why not have a country armed to the teeth and juiced with roid-rage. Especially if permanent war is the plan.

    He says he is judicious about whom he sells steroids to and says they can be used safely. As their physiques have improved, Torkey and other bodybuilders who compete in tournaments have grown fond of veterinary steroids, which he said produce quicker results than regular ones.

    But he doesn’t recommend them to everyone. “Those who are amateurs, we give them something else,” he said

    Does this mean we now have to start referring to it as the TSN theme song? The CTV Olympic coverage theme song? The song formerly known as Prince?

    warning: nerd rage

    HR 4279 needs to be stopped in the senate

    it’s another asset forfeture law where if you have a file of ‘dubious origin’ (read, any p2p service, ever) the government can confiscate your computer

    yes, that means downloading a wow patch via bittorrent == by by computer

    details here

    news.slashdot.org/article.pl?no_d2=1&sid=08/06/11/0213244

    govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-4279

    it’s from a democrat and passed w/out comment.
    it also creates a copywrite cops office of the government.

    frankly the senate has much more important things to deal with and i’ve seen 0 geek poliblog coverage of this thing.
    good test of obama and hillery and the senate big wigs if they can throttle this abomination in the crib.

    because we totally neeed another ‘war on ..’ in our government.

    HAHA OH WOW

    “President Bush regrets his legacy as man who wanted war”

    Not an Onion article. Really.

    “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric.”

    Phrases such as “bring them on” or “dead or alive”, he said, “indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace”.

    “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric.”

    Phrases such as “bring them on” or “dead or alive”, he said, “indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace”.

    Earlier this week we witnessed Laura Bush’s out of the blue, sympathetic posture toward Michelle Obama’s “proud of America” comment and now, W’s apparent softening (rueful??)attitude regarding his assholic stance on the war.

    Hmm…what’s up?

    Could this be indicative of the contrite behavior one adopts when one knows the jig is up? I think the net is tightening around the Bush regime. His international banking pals have put their foot(s) down on the ponzi scheme and are choking off the money.

    I think (hope) the Bush regime’s got no where to run right now. Laura was in Afghanistan, W’s making a Euro farewell tour (including the Vatican, ahem)but,why now?.

    Now that they’ve run the dollar into the ground, they’re running around Europe and the Middle East, knocking on all kinds of bankers doors but, no one’s letting them in.

    The Chickens are coming home to roost.

    Get the popcorn. Tinfoil hats optional.

    Obama wants to give asthmatic patients a breathalyzer. Must be the onset of Alzheimer’s…
