Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Second rate reporter says what?

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

This fight is for everything.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

When did there start being Fox News stores?

Is this one of those things, like the amero, where I’m the last one to know?

    I know they were infesting larger airports at least as early as 2006.

    Unhealthy snacks. Patriotic sweatshirts. Trashy magazines and Hannity’s oh-so-slappable mug on the plasma screens.

    Ditto Houston (IAH). It is just like any other airport conveneience store except fox news is blaring from half a dozen flat screens and there is a big scrolling banner ad thingy…

    My guess is that they over charge for everything and blame the high prices on the high inflation Obama has caused.

    I’ve seen them in the DC airport. Maybe one or two others in the last year or so. Didn’t DC also have an MSNBC themed news stand? Or maybe CNN? Equal representation…

    I’m actually sworn off all cable “news” programming two years and counting now though, so I could care less. A pox on all of them, I say. They’re all humbug.

    Of course. That’s where I go to get all my Alwaleed bin Talal action figures. Why? Where do you get yours?

    speaking of fox news, a guy at my gym (local community rec center) accused “liberals” of “censorship” because “they” are always changing the channel away from fox news on the tvs.

    I was turning off the glenn beck show and he objected even though he was 20 ft away using the free weights and not watching the tv when I went to change it. I asked him if he even knew what the word censorship means. he looked at me like I was crazy…

    “The Simpsons” comes through again. (Spotted on Sully’s blog)

    http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2010/11/the-simpsons-strike-again.html

    Fox News Stores, you say?

    Maybe they stock heirloom seeds, gold bullion, and Depends?

    Somebody has to balance the liberal Starbucks chain with its softly lit wooden-ish decor and its fancy elitist baristas.

    @CalD: This is such a simple answer for heartburn. Just don’t watch any of them. That’s what I do. It’s very freeing.

    I get my news from the net and my local daily newspaper.

    DFW, too, for at least the last year or so. In the “C” terminal it’s right next to a 15-20 foot screen in the concouse showing CNN.

    Any time I see FOX News on and I’m a paying customer, I ask that they change it to ESPN. Partly, as a general rule for my own sanity. Partly, because ESPN will actually mention shit I care about.

    Real Americans need a Patriotic alternative to your SociaIist, liberally-biased Nazi “Book Stores”. Did you know anybody can walk into a “Book Store” and buy books about homosexuals and atheists? That’s not the America I grew up in.

    I saw the Fox News store and the MSNBC News store in the Atlanta airport a couple of months ago. Books, newspapers, magazines, cold drinks, candy. I didn’t notice any Fox News paraphanalia, but I didn’t go in. No Hannity beer cozys, no Glenn Beck candy cigarettes. Not even the new O’Reilly line of bathroom accessories. Just books and stuff.

    these stores nicely complement respected opinionist bill o’reilly’s nightly sales pitch for patriotic hats and “we say ‘merry christmas!'” bumper stickers.

    @Elizabelle: I’m sure they could make a fortune on celebrity newsreader/pundit blow-up dolls.

    @cermet: It’s on the same shelf as the Constitution/Bill of Rights toilet paper.

    There are BBC stores in Australia. Maybe Murdoch got the idea from them?

    @Zandar:

    The power of the free market compels you!

    Is that anything like the scene in The Exorcist where the two priests shout “The power of Christ compels you!” while the Linda Blair’s head rotates 360 degrees?

    Sorry sorry sorry! I cringe every time I see it. I have no idea when it cropped up. One trip to the airport, it wasn’t. Next trip, it was. I have never gone in for fear that my brains will fall out upon entrance.
