Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Infrastructure week. at last.

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

He really is that stupid.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

I really should read my own blog.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

    there’s also the minor detail that herpes is a virus, and so not a bacteria at all.

    but that won’t bother fox news.

    Unrelated: I expect imminent apologies from the League of Traitorous Republican Southern Senators to U.S. auto companies and the UAW:

    Honda, Mazda May Apply for Japanese Government Loans (Update1)

    By Makiko Kitamura and Tetsuya Komatsu | Bloomberg

    March 4 (Bloomberg) — Honda Motor Co., suffering from a 38 percent plunge in U.S. auto sales in February, may ask to borrow money from Japan’s government to lend to U.S. car buyers.

    The amount of the loans and timing of the request to the state-owned Japan Bank for International Cooperation haven’t yet been determined, spokeswoman Akemi Ando said by phone today. Mazda Motor Corp. is also considering a request for government loans, spokesman Toyota Tanaka said today.

    Honda and Mazda would follow Toyota Motor Corp., Japan’s biggest carmaker, in seeking loans from the government as the global recession hammers auto demand. U.S. auto sales in February slid to the lowest rate since December 1981, led by a 53 percent plunge for General Motors Corp.

    “Things look pretty grim at present,” said Edwin Merner, president of Atlantis Investment Research Corp. in Tokyo, which manages $3.1 billion. “By the end of the year, the year-on-year figures should start improving unless the world economy gets much worse.”

    Free market! Damn UAW! $70/hr! Inefficient! Welfare! Socialism!

    My turn to say what everybody says in these situations.

    Why is the most responsible journalism — you know, with fact checking and such — coming from Comedy Central?

    Man, I wish it was just Fox. The entire news media went into a feeding frenzy on this. Fox’n’Friends just managed to win the title of Biggest Asshat in the Asshat Parade.

    Now the RSSF battle plan makes sense. They’re counting on their balls bacteria covertly taking out the targets. That’s the hidden genius.

    Official test for "BPH": a Pabst smear.

    (Well that’s what Fox just told me.)

    Welcome to Fox News, where we hire a busty doctor to tell people not to eat stuff that hit the floor.

    Why are these people so opposed to the quote unquote nanny state? They really look like they could benefit from it.

    Because reality has surpassed parody.

    Beer Pong seems to require a very elaborate setup for a drinking game.

    Whatever happened to good old-fashioned Quarters?

    The real message that Fox should have been promoting would be to make sure that the beer is IPA. It has more hops in it, which kills the bacteria on the ball.

    Oh, yes, almost forgot. What the f!ck?

    Now don’t confuse this sexually transmitted disease with herpes simplex 1. Herpes simplex 1 are facial cold sores!!

    The strain of herpes complex type 2 (HVP) is a sexually transmitted disease of the genitals, and is transmitted by direct skin contact.

    Hmmm, I thought this was common knowledge. Obviously not.
