Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

This really is a full service blog.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Second rate reporter says what?

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

White supremacy is terrorism.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

We will not go back.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Republicans in disarray!

    @Valdivia: Do we really need to get that desperate? And you are aware that I consider Autotune anything to be Shaytan spawn, no?

    That song bites. But I’m waffling on whether it bites worse than any other sample from the overwhelming majority of rap.

    Understatement — Yutsano can do it. That song seriously sucks. It is indeed epic.

    Why can’t we handle this Christian-like?

    That kind of left me hanging on the edge of my seat. Can anyone tell me what happens in the next 11 parts?

    just found this, thought it was awesome (not quite as good as American Dad’s rant, but still), so I thought I’d link it to let folks enjoy some good old fashioned venting:

    @Angry Black Lady: a possible indication of romantic interest from Danny Bonaduce perhaps?

    doug, have you seen this chart?

    i really loathed trapped in the closet, but my ex was totally (and ironically, i think) into it and he made me listen to it. and i came to the conclusion that r. kelley is some sort of mad genius (who likes to pee on people).

    Oh, man, that chart scares me. Any song that needs an infographic designed for it is a song that I’ll just have to skip.

    Did he watch all 24 parts?

    EDIT: chart is awesome!
