Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The words do not have to be perfect.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

    Except for the three “help me!” posts on the blog.

    BattleCat thinks those are pretty obvious.

    Fixed it!

    Maybe you can help the RNC out with their broken Presidential nominating process. They’re probably hiring, and Lord knows they got the cash to pay.

    On a related note, who wants to lay odds on the next GOP flavor of the week once Herman “Iraq-War-Worth-It-And-The-Middle-Class-Should-Just-Buy-Used-Goods” Cain loses his luster?

    I’m thinking it goes back to Perry. Then back to Bachmann. Then back to Cain. Then Gingrich for about two hours on a Tuesday afternoon, which is about as long as it takes even the most ardent wingnut to remember that he’s a self-important blowhard. Then back to Perry. Then Santorum finds himself ahead in the polls and praises Baby Jesus, only to find that it was just a tease by the Jew-run “liberal” media and bows out of the race. Then back to Bachmann. Then to Ron Paul because, hey, at this point, why the fuck not? Then Tim Pawlenty commits ritual suicide for bowing out of this cluster-fuck way too early, upon which he becomes the front runner. Then it becomes a five way tie between Perry, Cain, Bachmann, Ron Paul, and Tim Pawlenty’s ghost.

    Finally everyone says, “Oh, fuck it. Romney.”

    @amk: Very interesting. I think most of us realized that the articles on the President tended to be more negative but it was good to see it in print. The last statement says it all..

    But Jane Hall, a journalism professor at American University who specializes in the intersection between media and politics, disagrees………………………………
    “I think Obama has looked thin-skinned when he criticized the media and criticized Fox,” she said. “For him to say ‘the media don’t’ like me,’ I just don’t think you ever win if you are a Democrat and say that, as much as you do if you’re a Republican.”

    @Raven (formerly stuckinred): have I mentioned arnica gel? Arniflora is a widely carried brand, available at most health food stores. Not to be used on broken skin – since I don’t know the nature of the injury. Hope it improves.
