Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

No one could have predicted…

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Let there be snark.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

    Most wanted man live has just been arrested.

    Whitey Bulger, who was portrayed in the Oscar winning move, “The Departed” was captured tonight in Santa Monica.

    In the past six weeks, Obama has taken out the nation’s top two most wanted men. Inspector Clouseau Bush had 8 years and could only manage to choke on pretzels. Obama has only been in office, 2 years, 5 months, and 2 days.

    I’m just glad that with balloon-juice around I need never mourn the passing of Encyclopædia Dramatica.

    Hilarious

    South Carolina will not fund the state GOP’s first-in-the-South presidential primary in February, leaving officials scrambling to sort out who will pay for it.
    …
    The Republican Party insists the primary will go on, even if the GOP must come up with as much as $1.5 million to run it.
    …
    The party could go back to running the primary with paper ballots and volunteers, which is how it was done until 2008.

    Sure paper ballots and volunteers in South Carolina? What could possibly go wrong…

    Nellcote, Washington got rid of primaries too. If the parties want to choose the one true standard bearer, they should have to pay to do it. It’s not as if political parties are technically needed in the electoral process.

    We use the jungle primary now. It will be interesting to see if the parties can get their shit together well enough to line up the generals in advantageous ways.

    I very much enjoyed the parody of ABL by “ABL” today in the “Web Ads – How Do They Work?” thread.

    Yeah, after the Pakistani Ambassador embarrassed Barack by pointing out our inability to capture Bulger, we really had to do something. It just goes to show: don’t try to show up the Kenyan in Chief.

    @Roger Moore: Ratko Mladic was arrested 4 weeks ago, Gingrich’s campaign imploded, Trump imploded, Wiener imploded, the Miami Heat imploded, today Palin quit her bus tour in mid term.

    The last 6 weeks have been a pretty tough on despots.

    It was the previous president’s policies that allowed this administration to catch the most wanted man in America.

    GAK! I love Weird Al! I have since I first heard him back in the early 80’s & I have most of his albums; some are on cassette tape – antiques now :)

    I was working a contract out in CA in the late 90’s, around “Bad Hair Day” and happened to bump into him. I am not one to faun over ‘stars’ but I did shake his hand & tell him I liked his work. He stopped & actually just talked for a while, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I’m glad Gaga agreed to let him do this & not surprised that he is donating the proceeds.

    And don’t forget Clinton wanted to take UBL out in late ’99 but decided against it because he was afraid it would be seen as political & the Republicans would use it against Gore.
