Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

“woke” is the new caravan.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Let there be snark.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

I was promised a recession.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

No one could have predicted…

Because I screwed up the attribution last time. Also too, I can’t be the only person bored with discussion of any penis not attached to a loved one’s torso…

    The Sarah Palin History Channel really cracked me up…

    This should generate some construction jobs.

    3.1 million square feet, 1/4 mile in diameter – about the size of the Pentagon. Looks like they might be using Bloom Boxes for power, too.

    Saw a friend tonight whose son was just signed earlier today by the SF Giants! He’s off to Scottsdale AZ this weekend. She (friend) is over the moon and wasted no time in transferring 20 years of Braves fandom to the other coast. Pretty exciting stuff.

    Why the Bruins are slaughtering the Canucks is beyond me. It’s really depressing.

    @MikeJ: I don’t know what happened. It was total “wipe the ice with your ass” in Game 3.

    At least it’s on home ice for Game 5.

    Ed Rollins, who is Michelle Bachmann’s chief strategist, actually said this:

    Bachmann will “be so much more substantive,” Rollins said. “People are going to say, ‘I gotta make a choice and go with the intelligent woman who’s every bit as attractive.’”

    I mean, a) he just called Sarah Palin stupid (no argument there) but then he also thinks voters care about how attractive the candidates are? Is he talking about physical appearance here (of course he is) or is he going to say he’s using “attractive” in the broader sense of the word?

    Do political strategists talk about how attractive Mitt Romney is? Chris Christie?

    Luongo is having one of his periodic meltdowns. Sure wish he’d had one when we played the Canucks.

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think the comics posted on the front page kind of suck?

    @Southern Beale: That must be it because the goal tending has been a complete FAIL.

    I’m distracting myself with the Hindi SF blockbuster, Enthiran. The robot cobra made it worth it.

    Glad to see it’s a company that actually makes something investing in its infrastructure. And in liberal teacher’s union loving California. You know, the place where CARB and high taxes are driving Jobs Creators out of state!

    @handy: Actually, their biggest investments have been in retail. Long-term leases or building purchases, actual architecture, and lots and lots of retail employees. On average, most retail outlets have one staff per 800 square feet. Apple has one staff per 20 square feet. That’s a lot of jobs.

    @Southern Beale: If they don’t, they should. Have you missed all the village fawning over the most “manly” canidate in previous elections? Tweety gushing about how Fred Thompson smells?

    Watch the original Tamil version, rather than the Hindi dub, if you are just reading the subtitles anyway.

    Paul Revere warned the British that they “wouldn’t be takin our guns away”, and also that we would not be havin their government-run, socialistic healthcare.

    Luongo is having one of his periodic meltdowns. Sure wish he’d had one when we played the Canucks.

    I’ll have to tell my daughter (a quasi-fanatical Bs fan (sorry for the redundancy)) that “meltdown” is the new way of saying “no glove side”. Hell, Johnny Pesky could put one by Luongo’s glove.

    Maybe the Canucks can borrow Brodeur? For just the next three games? He went downhill this year, unfortunately, but he’s still pretty decent.

    Of course, the reason the “Canucks” will lose is not because the Bs will play better, but rather because God/FSM doesn’t like it when you call yourself “Canucks”, but you’re really just natives of a suburb of Seattle. True canucks are from Quebec, mon ami.
