Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

When we show up, we win.

In my day, never was longer.

This fight is for everything.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

    Swear to Jehova’s Mecca I left Great Orange Satan on a night of red wine north of Sydney saying, “Please, Ballon Juice, bring me back to sanity. I fucking beg you.”

    It didn’t work, of course, but it was nice to see Oz mentioned.

    P.S. It’s 9:42 pm in Sydney. More wine needed. Signing off.

    PPSSohwhatever: That boxer needs its friggin nails cut! Daleks always count on that.

    PeePeeSS: Now I’m watching an Aussie TV commercial where a guy coughs and coughs – and then coughs up blood into his hanky at a party. Because for smokers, “Every cigarette brings cancer closer.”

    Thank you. In Australia I now pay $17 a pack for this. Thank you.

    Love it! The boxer keeps going into the doggy “play bow” but he doesn’t realize… Daleks don’t play.
    And here in SoCal the time is “almost time to go home from work” aka 4:30ish AM. Yay!

    @LT: I thought the same thing about the nails. The boxer was at a disadvantage on a wood floor. Fortunately most battles with Daleks on Earth will occur outside. Advantage: Dogs.

    You shouldn’t pay the tobacco tax. Every pack of cigarettes you buy helps support businesses that funnel money to the right-wing politicians and noise machine. You should quit for yourself and the ones who love you.

    every boxer knows: never trust anything whose butt has no smell.

    That poor Dalek has asthma.

    Also: boxers are cool!

    I have one of those Dalek things (the small one, not the full sized model) & my cats run & hide when I try to chase them with it.

    Recently discovered that one of the appendages (weapons?) had been chewed off by some culprit.

    Cute video.

    Sigh. Any day that starts with a Doctor Who reference shows promise.

    I’ll see your dog playing with a Dalek and raise you kids riding in inflatable ones You know, I’m pretty small- if I squish up really tight, maybe I would fit in one of these.

    @Carnacki:

    Fortunately most battles with Daleks on Earth will occur outside.

    That’s because Daleks can’t climb stairs. Fundamental design flaw.

    Hilarious. My dog would turn tail and head for the next county. Cluck cluck.

    Somebody tell Betty Cracker a boxer out there needs some boxer buddies to help fight the Daleks. She has a passel.
