Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Books are my comfort food!

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

No one could have predicted…

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Second rate reporter says what?

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

I didn’t catch it at first in the previous post, but you alert readers did:

Temple said that “if the House Armed Services Committee and the Pentagon slow down on injecting open homosexuality and females into forward combat roles,” tea partiers might be able to put up with their new Republican House voting to ensure American government services are paid for with more borrowed cash.

DADT was repealed just a few months back and already they have weaponized it and are injecting our troops! Wait till a stable airborne version is available, and we start doing cropduster flyovers at NASCAR events- we’ll turn entire counties in no time. No large event will be safe.

Well, Lady Gaga and Bieber concerts are probably safe. No use wasting the stuff.

Seriously, though- what is wrong with these people? Always with the “injecting” and “ramming it down our throats” and the like.

    These assholes have more sexual issues than anyone outside the Vatican. Always with the ramming and the injecting and the shoving. And their fear and loathing of women is off the charts. The use of the word “female” is so dehumanizing that I fear for any girl children they may have. Of course, they may not have any girl children or any children at all because all that fear of women, their homoerotic terminology, and penchant for flashy costumes screams so closeted he doesn’t know he’s gay to me. It’s very sad that they have to take out their sexual pathologies on the rest of us. I wish they’d all just head to the Castro and let it all hang out. The country and the world would be a much better place if they did.

    League officials say an Australian Rules football umpire who sent off a player for having dangerous hair applied the rules “a little bit too broadly”.
    Umpire Don Wheadon sidelined the Simpson Tigers midfielder Nathan van Someren for 15 minutes during the third quarter of a Colac and Districts Football League match against Otway Districts last weekend, saying Van Someren’s spiked mohican hairstyle might poke another player in the eye.

    Just think what the Teabaggers are saving us from!

Luckily I-I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake…but I do deny them my essence.

    I wonder if gay people make better soldiers than straight people. Because, like, what if we could harness all that anger and rage at being considered a second-class citizen and mold it into elite fighting battalions?

    Angry people fight the best, they’re all up in your grill and punching you and shit without provocation. Like, when a female woman and a male man are gay, and they’ve been crapped on most of their lives, can they turn that into some kind of “let me jump across three roof-tops just so I can toss you over the ledge of the forth” ninja wizardy?

    That’d be kind of cool. And then we could send them over to Iran to give them the heebie jeebies or whatever. What IS their problem, anyway?
