Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Republicans in disarray!

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

No one could have predicted…

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

A Bunch of 12 Year Olds

Just clowns:

Are you really, really, really angry at President Obama?

If so, The Weekly Standard is here to help. The mag is selling an “Obama stress head” doll that lets you take out your rage at the President by squeezing his head in your hand.

As the mag puts it, the doll allows you to “crush those half-baked liberal ideas before they do any more damage.”

As Sargent notes, for $.99 more, you can get the collected works of Bill Kristol!

    Yet another attempt to shear the flock.

    Hey, Eric Son of Eric perfected this, no?

    I’m sure it will be a popular item amongst the Red State and LGF crowds.

    Anything to make money off selling shit to rubes. That’s pretty much all the conservative movement has left going for it these days: raw, unprocessed capitalism, Ronco-style.

    Please don’t insult 12 year olds! My niece is a 12 year old, believe me the Weekly Standard is well below the level of any reasonably mature 12 year old. My 7 year old nephew, that might be a comparison.

    Well, when you think about how crazy and violent some conservatives are today, I can only hope they buy these things up and pound the Obama stressheads into the ground, if it keeps them for reaching for their guns. Maybe this will let them get some of their anger out. Too bad the Weekly Standard gets to profit off of it, though…

    Some neighbors of mine used to have a Ronald Reagan dog toy for their golden retriever. They used to say, “Blue, go get the president” and Blue would fetch his little rubber Ronald Reagan. I guess these things are par for the course.

    The Republicans really do get dumber. It’s no wonder they lost the White House.

    What I love too is Obama’s been in office just over a year and these f**kwads think he should have already solved the mess left after EIGHT years of George Bush. How dumb do you have to be?

    But, oh hey, I forgot – that’s right, the massive deficit, banking crisis and the fact that the world hates America had nothing to do with Bush. Right.

    Hunter Thompson had a dummy named Nixon in his house his Rottweiler tore the crotch out of every time he said “Nixon”. I only have cats or I’d do a Cheney version.

    Did they get Palin’s witch hunter friend to help them make their voodoo dolls?

    This is starting to get to me. In the final days of the election of 2008, I had hopes sanity would return to the country. Alas.

    I saw Rudy on my morning news show – why? – and guess what he was saying? Obama stinks.

    And I marvel at the environment which – without comment – goes from 8 years of “it’s treason to criticize the President and Government” to BOOM! Overnight, “It’s treason to support the President and the Government”.

    I quote:

    Have they no shame? Why is this allowed to happen? I mean, it’s outrageous, yet business as usual.

    @Senyordave:

    When I actually was 12, in 1972, MAD Magazine had a satire of an ad about a punching bag that had Wm F Buckley’s face on one side, and Abbie Hoffman on the other, “for all political persuasions, Grandpa and Junior alike!” the ad chirpily proclaimed.

    Even as a 12 year old, I saw the hilarity in that.

    @robertdsc: I would buy a hundred of those.

    And, I must confess, I do have a three-pack of W., Ahhhhnold, and Hillary cat toys, but have only given two of them to the boys. This is the W. one. I believe he is currently under the couch. I have no clue what they did to the Terminator.

    For .99 cents extra, you can crush Obama’s head with the collected works of Bill Kristol! This is while Bill Kristol is smiling.
