Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Books are my comfort food!

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Republicans in disarray!

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

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

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

The lights are all blinking red.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

    Also. To properly appreciate the Glitch Mob, you have to understand how they operate. It’s quite modern. They will take a hip-hop track and re-sequence it, adding fat ass bass lines via synthesizer. Then using an array of touchscreen software they will glitch it out in real time. This means dropping envelopes on parts of the track and modulating them in real time, while echoing a particular frequency band. Kind of a KAOSS pad writ large.

    @burnspbesq: Funnily enough, I’m actually more a supporter of the team Liverpool hate most, Chelsea (I had a place in So Ken, so they were the local team). I just dislike Man U so much I’ll cheer for anybody against them. Which reminds me, the Yankees are playing today.

    @MikeJ:

    I used to hate ManUHated much more than I do now. The principal object of my hatred (other than the Yankees, of course) is Real Madrid.

    The teams I actually root for are doing just fine. The Galaxy are in the playoffs for the first time in four years, and Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last six and sitting in eighth place in the Championship.

    Oh, and the NFL is staging its annual desecration of sacred ground game at Wembley today. Boo to the Patriots, boo to whoever they are playing, and double boo to the entire concept.

    During one of my years at college the university began a process of planing lots of trees on campus. But the people digging the holes were not the same as those planting the trees, so all these 4′ x 4′ x 4′ holes were dug months before the trees arrived, including two in front of my dorm that, for some reason, held water.

    So one day I went to my local Wal-mart and bought a dozen feeder goldfish (i.e. food for carnivorous fish), and put them in the two holes. Every morning and evening I’d go out and feed them some food, and I’m sure they were the happiest fish around (compared to the fate of their compadres back at the store).

    That lasted about a week before a couple people decided that these fish were being completely mistreated, swimming around in a nice clear pool of water under a shinny sun, and “rescued” them to whatever their fate was at the Honor’s dorm (I watched the rescue effort from my room).

    So that’s my goldfish story.

    @valdivia: That was exactly my thought this morning. A female friendly guy in the white house and they quote anonymous sources about how it’s a man’s culture in the white house. Seriously, would it be ok if he started estrogen shots and cried in front of the press? Would it be a “woman’s culture” then? WTF is wrong with these idiots? The example is basketball playing – how many of his secretaries, the ones with real power, are playing basketball in that picture? Exactly zero. Of course.

    That reporter is a tool. And a pretty dull one at that. Of course, if McCain had won, then he would have surrounded himself with women and been very caring about the concerns of women, don’t ya know.

    @valdivia: Has the times reported the number of women that George Bush played golf with? The number of women who cleared brush with him? The number of women who went shooting with Dick Cheney? Stupidity is the new journalism.

    OT, but really pissifying:

    There’s an op-ed in the LA Times about Shepard Fairey (the artist who did the iconic red/white/blue Obama poster) by a woman with a Republican agenda (and, I should add, no intellectual integrity). She says Fairey is a lying plagiarist (true), a trespassing grafittist (true), a hypocrite (true). And then she says this:

    Analogizing Fairey to Roman Polanski is probably unfair. Defacing buildings and defrauding a court by manufacturing and destroying evidence pale in comparison to fleeing the country in order to avoid a sentence for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old who told a grand jury she was drugged, raped and sodomized.

    Yet Polanski and Fairey have something in common: thumbing their noses at the law because they’re artists. And they both have support from fellow artists and intellectuals, who seem to agree that there should be one moral standard for artists and another for everyone else.

    It’s probably unfair, but I’m doing it, because ALL fellow comrade artists and intellectuals have a different moral standard. The comparison with Goebbels must have been omitted because of length restrictions.

    @valdivia: Buddha on a bicycle they just REALLY want a juicy scandal in the Obama White House don’t they? They are just trying to gin up whatever controversy they can (i.e. throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks) and then MAKE NOOOZ!! Sheesh how’s about reporting facts and doing your jobs people?

    @madmommy:

    I actually think that the ONLY reason that clip was funny was cause it was done in a British accent, there is something classic about a British person saying “fucking” or “fuck” that just makes it funny. And a British Fucking kid saying it makes it even fucking funnier. (I am British, I am allowed)

    @valdivia:

    I am astounded that that was a serious article, I mean really? The man is married to Michelle, Michelle is a “serious woman” if ever I saw one, if she thought for a second that there was some sort of sex discrimination going on in the WH she would kick his ass all over the Lincoln Bedroom and tell him to sort his shit out before he got back into the POTUS bed. I mean really, his senior advisor is a woman (as many have said, “whisper whisper whisper” you know them) Valerie, his SOCUS is female, as others have said there are a bunch of other senior members of staff who are female. The fact that he plays basketball with a bunch of guys means nothing. This article will do nothing but give the PUMAs some roadkill to pick at.
