Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Everybody saw this coming.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Bark louder, little dog.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

    So jobless claims are up 27,000 today to the highest level since 1992.

    Remind me, who was president then?

    Before that, the highest level was in 1982. The president back then was some kind of saint, wasn’t he?

    I think I see a pattern here.

    Republicans create trickle down wealth and nose-diving unemployment reports.

    Sully made me laugh out loud yesterday:

    You never know what you’re going to be blogging about from day to day. As I got up this morning and removed my urine streaked boxers, put on my hysterical dress, and sat down to shriek, the world just opened up. All those doors to plow through; all that amniotic fluid to clean up after. Good times.

    Ha.

    Did anyone else see the video of Bush being shunned at the G20 summit? I didn’t think this was possible, but it actually made me feel bad for the guy. Additionally, it made me think that those doing the shunning are assholes. Maybe it’s my sports background showing through, but you should at least shake someone’s hand.

    Montysanto, looking at that video, it certainly doesn’t appear as if they shunned his handshakes any more than he shunned theirs. His arm did not go up one time, he refused to even look at a few of them.

    There is no love lost on both sides.

    We had a night off in Indianapolis with Seger and The Bullets. AC/DC was playing. Always being up for a good lig, we all went to the show, minus Bob. They gave us a Skybox to watch from, in the old Market Square Arena.

    You should have seen the look on the band’s faces. It was like it was a religious experience. They had never seen AC/DC before and, of course, AC/DC was its usual brilliant self. Flawless.

    Good times, that.

    @T.Scheisskopf:

    It was like it was a religious experience.

    The first time I saw them was back in high-school when they were on the "For Those About To Rock" tour.

    I’d been playing drums for a couple of years and was still in that "trying to figure out how it’s done" phase. Then I saw Phil Rudd. Jeebus. It was like watching Tiger Woods swing a golf club. Sounds corny, but it was life-changing for me as a musician.

    Plus, I just loved how they seemed like five guys who just happened to be backstage as if the promoter said "Shit! Where’s the band!? Hey, you guys — get out there and play something!"

    They’re the best.
