Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Cole is on a roll !

We’re not going back!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

I really should read my own blog.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

He really is that stupid.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

    Does John McCain celebrate Father’s Day twice–once for the family he abandoned and once for the wife and kids he has now?

    No outraged posts on the Feminist blogs about this story.

    When will the Feminist blogs show any outrage over this?

    I wonder why.

    And once more in secret for the “black baby” his pal GWB claimed he sired.

    Busy guy.

    My dad had to go through emergency hip replacement surgery yesterday! Out with his bicycling group, makes a bad turn, lands on a hip that had been bothering him anyway. He tries to make light of it — very him — but a doctor in the group says, “Um, no” and off to the hospital. It was going to be a partial hip replacement but once he was opened up they saw that it was arthritis already giving him incipient trouble and asked my mom if they should go ahead with a full replacement. She’s all “Heck yes,” and it’s done.

    It is perhaps emblematic of my folks that during the whole time my mom wasn’t worried or flustered even once — much to the surprise of my dad’s bicycling buddies and the hospital staff (she says it must have had something to do with being a military wife all those years) — while my dad’s biggest regrets right now lie in not being able to attend the Olympic track trials up in Eugene. He is, however, utterly thrilled at the idea of the new hip being made out of titanium. As my cousin said to me just now on the phone, “At last, he’s part of the bike.”

    Happy Father’s Day to all and hope yours don’t land on bad hips while they’re out and about!

    Wow, Paul, your site has got the eye-grinding color scheme and layout of the internet circa 1996. It took me back.

    I am curious as to what the hell a “Feminist” blog is, but fear the answer. To answer your stupid question, there has been outrage from all quarters of the internet, not just “feminist blogs” over this horrific crime, but that’s not good enough for you, is it?

    You’re looking for something very specific, aren’t you, Paul?

    Since there’s only one VNN, you may want to try looking for it there.

    Our son is autistic.
    Sometimes people say that must be tough.
    It would be far worse if he wasn’t in our lives.

    The Texas GOP is meeting in Houston this weekend. I’m not saying that there are more stupid people in Texas than anywhere else; I’m not saying that the people in Texas are stupider than the people anywhere else; I’m just saying that only Texas produces that unique blend of stupid and crazy.

    Susan at Kiss My Big Blue Butt has an article about the GOP Platform Committee. One Robert Hurt is incensed about all the nudity in Washington, DC. Not in the strip clubs; he’s talking about public art.

    Ok, finally got to the article, about a man who raped a woman and tortured her for hours and tried to burn her apartment down and…

    Was this guy a friend of yours?
