Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

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

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

“woke” is the new caravan.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

    Fish-slapping dance FTW. I’ve been cracking up over that for decades.

    I would add this to your list. It’s even topical, re: weblog awards.

    I’ve been reading way too much Wonkette recently, what with the PUMAtard war and all, the end. Also.

    FishSlapDance is one of the stupid-funniest python quickies EVER! I giggle just thinking about it sometimes.

    Curly’s yelp when Moe smacks him is always great too.

    The way the announcers gave head to Tim Tebow last night was a slap in the face to all the other saints — and I’m a Gator. Heard on Fox sports radio today: "If Tebow comes back and wins 3 national championships and 2 Heismans, should he be considerd one of the greatest ever?". Jeebus. Enough already.

    LMFAO! You go dougJ, Gandhi was mocked too, but, in the end, got the last Slap In the Face and defeated an empire.

    Here’s an epic slap video — a camp classic. The white panties make it even funnier.

    Michael Palin is still the funniest Palin.

    Ah, I always take an excuse to bring back this charming video:

    Michael Palin for President

    Ye gods, I loved the campaign season. If it wasn’t for the whole fate-of-the-world-hangs-by-a-thread thing, I could have had it go on forever.

    I liked Flash of Genius; well worth the rental.

    Friday night pondering: Does one need a slapstick to hit a slapshot in hockey?

    Spoof movies don’t even begin to compare to "Airplane" anymore. Leslie Neilsen taking a risk and doing a comedy like that before he became his own cliche.

    Speaking of…one of the most cringe-worthy moments in my life happened while I was watching the Debbie Reynolds’ flick "Tammy and the Bachelor". The male lead is standing in the rain in one scene, shirt open. I mentioned to my college roommate that the guy was pretty hot. She turned to me and said, "That’s the guy from the Naked Gun movies."

    Yes, and no. unless your Dick "Tripod" Cheney. Then everything is possible.

    Now can we have several videos of people being thrown under buses?

    @DougJ:

    I think that’s illegal, except for certain persons in Alabama.

    @Comrade Stuck: That’s illegal, too. Even in Alabama, you can’t just *throw* people under a bus, you need to use a fire hose.

    Er, how about people accidentally throwing themselves under buses?

    Jesus under the bus

    Nip/Tuck lady under the bus

    Lost dude under the bus

    Girl who cheated death under the bus

    Haven’t seen Flash of Genius but watched Bottle Shock on a flight recently. Wouldn’t recommend it. I would recommend that Alan Rickman fire his agent, though.
