Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

This really is a full service blog.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

“woke” is the new caravan.

I really should read my own blog.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

    Well, I was going to point it out, but if you go and watch on YouTube, in the “More” notes below the video they do give credit to the source of the music, Shakira and “This time it’s Africa”.

    It was a cute bit. If only the Abrahamic religions were as benign as some pretend them to be.

    I do hope that all new years bring increase in peace and wellness.

    Don’t mess around with those silly toys.
    We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over
    We want your bread so don’t make us annoyed
    Give all the toys… to the little rich boys”

    every time i hear someone talk about how they want to ‘blow the shofer’ i giggle a bit.

    luckily, this year we managed to get off our asses and get tickets to high holiday services, so we don’t have to stand in the back of the hall. yay us.

    @chopper: I know, right? Clearly the shofar is the best endowed dude at the temple.

    Which, if you’ve seen some of these six-foot-long, gold-encrusted shofarim, doesn’t seem too farfetched. Or, possibly, that someone’s compensating.

    Ten comments to a dick joke! Shanah tovah, kids!

    well, that’s gotta be the gayest thing I’ve ever seen. And I used to live in the Castro.

    @Matthew Reid Krell:

    i think ‘blowing the shofer’ is something paris hilton would do. i’m sure he’s done a good job driving her around all these years and could use a bonus…

    Thanks for the vid, Anne. I’m in a grumpy, misanthropic mood today, and that “Dance M.F.” video above just struck me as an ungodly noise today. A little positivity is probably what I need.

    I kind of hate this music, and kind of can’t get it out of my head. I think I better click Play again.

    Happy, healthy, successful 5772 even to the atheists and pagans!

    (I would say this blog has taught me a lot about discipline and self-control but that would completely blow my snark quotient.)

    “Next year in Jerusalem” is appropriate for any Jewish holiday.

    A bit too cutesy and cloyingly cliché for my tastes, but I appreciate the good intentions.

    Cute video, but what are they doing giving honey to a baby? My womb may be a barren wasteland where no one’s seed can find purchase, but I know better than that.

    wouldn’t apples decorated as pigs be considered treyf?

    Yeesh — Christian pop, but with Jews. It’s got the same creepily insipid vibe about it — you imagine behind this there’s some crazed geriatric cult leader who is boffing every single one of those clean-cut pretty young things with the glazed, serene look in their eyes.

    Video clearly explains why the Jews rule Hollywood.
