Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

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

I was promised a recession.

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

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The willow is too close to the house.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

After roe, women are no longer free.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

T R E 4 5 O N

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

This really is a full service blog.

Everybody saw this coming.

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?

    Will the Weekly Dullard be offering an easy bake oven for us to finish baking the half-baked ideas?

    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.
