Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

He really is that stupid.

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

We’re not going back!

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Republicans don’t trust women.

In after Baud. Damn.

Bark louder, little dog.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

    Halftime–

    Nova 27, Pitt 22.

    Here is Ahmed Ezz’s letter to the NYT from today:

    To the Editor:

    I strongly deny the allegations against me reported in “Resentment Finds a Target in an Insider” (front page, Feb. 7).

    During this turbulent time in Egypt, there are many allegations and counterallegations offered on every side, often with little or no evidence or factual basis to support them. It is important not to leap to conclusions, and it is too easy to look for scapegoats.

    The challenges that Egypt faces are many and complex, and I encourage all Egyptians to come together to find a resolution to the current situation. I have always been, and remain, committed to Egypt, my lifelong home. I am confident that the resilience and heritage of the Egyptian people will ensure a bright future for the country.

    He seems to think he’s being criticized.

    Just finished Chapters 3 and 4 of Nixonland (yeah, I fell behind last week.) My first thought is that I hate reliving those times. My second thought, is My God!!! We’re all repeating those times!!!!

    Not one fuckin’ thing has changed.

    I accidentally saw some rugby on the tv tonight. Those fellows make American football players look like silly nancies. Maybe that’s why the rest of the world hates us – not for our “freedoms” but because our football players put on tons of armor and stop playing every five seconds, and every other country has tough guys wearing shorts and tshirts while tackling each other and running around for more than five seconds at a time.
