Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

We still have time to mess this up!

T R E 4 5 O N

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

This really is a full service blog.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Good lord, these people are nuts.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

I despise all NY teams, but honestly the Jets top my hate list. It’s their fans I can’t abide. Punk ass bitches, each and every one (at least the ones I’ve met personally).

    but there is a question mark when I hover over PCP.

    So should there be for us all.

    However, in the main, there is a question mark that hovers over any word written in ALL CAPS. I think there is some alt text script that you can use to define acronyms, but I’ll be buggered if I know how it works.

    My younger sister & hubby who live near Green Bay, WI were in St. Paul this weekend. We were going to get together at my older sister’s house to watch the Packers/Vikes game, but younger sister came down with the flu so they had to get back home. Turns out my older sister, her husband and all of her kids are just getting over varying states of flu (the flu has been just brutal in the Twin Cities this week), but older sister told me I could still come over to watch the game anyway. I told her thanks but no thanks and took my new car out for a spin on this gorgeous fall day. Pitch black outside now at 5:30 but there’s a beautiful almost-full moon on the rise. Who won the game?

    Texas wins by 30. Sorry Ranger. You should pull for LSU to pull the upset vs Bama and then knock off the Gators in the SEC Championship. Texas won’t lose in the regular season.
