Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

One way or another, he’s a liar.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

    While you’re waiting for site repairs, here’s an amusing diversion: A reader of Dave Weigel’s seems to have found the source of the Kenyan Obama Birth Certificate, and it’s hilarious:

    washingtonindependent.com/53658/is-this-the-source-of-the-forged-kenyan-birth-certificate

    Seems to have been taken from an Australian genology website and modified… lazily. “Lavendar” and “Miller” remain as the surnames of the Registrars, and they didn’t bother to change the “book numbers” at all. Forgery fail, as if anyone would be surprised.

    Well, the site is all screwed up for me again.

    We suffered through dial-up until a year ago, a punishment for living in the middle of nowhere. Comcast is paradise in comparison.

    The site is looking so good that I’m tempted to subscribe to Newt Gingrich’s free newsletter.

    Still hosed over here, even when I use my Golden Ticket.

    P.S. Did you know WordPress 2.8.3 is now available? Seems like they really, REALLY want you to ‘upgrade’, Mr. Cole…

    And since I was EPU’ed on the last thread:

    I think John should run the fundraiser as a “Vote for Tunch or Lily” poll. Let’s settle the site’s Cat-Servant-vs-Dog-Owner ratio once and for all!

    Ouch.

    Hello World. Welcome to WordPress.

    Some days are just like that, my sympathy.

    So, how many of you tried to Install WordPress and run the site?

    More sopapillas, please!

    The site is back, I think…
