Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In after Baud. Damn.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Cole is on a roll !

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

The lights are all blinking red.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

So many bastards, so little time.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

    There hasn’t been a GOP debate in over 24 hours. I’m going through withdrawal.

    Teachers grading papers at Occupy Wall Street are told they “can’t do that here.”

    Really.

    Hopefully, Ravens/Jags be competitive longer than Colts/Saints (it may be impossible not to be).

    Watching “Practical Magic” on ABC Family! Man I love this movie. I actually have it on DVD, but I still gonna prob watch it on ABC Family tonight…lol. It’s one of the few movies I like Nicole Kidman in, and it’s another movie where Sandra Bullock is more radiant that people think. Plus…Aidan Quinn is in it, and I kinda love him!

    movie is inspired by, but from what I’ve heard, although the book is def an inspiration id kinda feels like ur reding a diffrent story. Still I love the movie enough to try it.

    Incidentally, this will be only maybe the 3rd time I actually watched a movie before even knowing there was a book. One of the other movies was Girl, Interrupted.

    @Southern Beale: I am guessing that grading papers was not the concern.

    Dow over 11900? Why no breathless headlines Wrong Again Cole? We all know you would do the same (and have) when the Dow went down by this much in such a short period of time.

    So I was watching tv and a Papa John’s commercial came up and I thought, this Papa John guy, he should run for president.

    @Mark S.: And keeping true to history, the debate will be followed up next year by a “North-South Style Civil War.”

    How can a pro team average just slightly more than 1 trip to the red zone per game? That is a rather different approach than most teams take to winning the game.

    This ought to be good: Rep. Paul Ryan is going to give a speech decrying class warfare and the ‘politics of envy’

    This might actually be a big deal. New administration mortgage intervention leading to 4m jobs, if assisted by the Fed?

    Got to be more competitive than Colts/Saints, if indeed that was the Colts and not the second string from Slippery Rock. Tho I have to admit I was howling for the Jags to CLEAN THE GREASE OFF THE BALL…whatsamatta with these guys, they’re getting paid megabucks and they can’t…hold…on…to…the…ball.
    Sigh.

    Just finished watching Case Histories 2 on Masterpiece Theater. Man, oh man is Jason Isaacs hot! I thought he was familiar from somewhere but I didn’t make the connection to Harry Potter’s Lucius Malfoy until now.

    Show’s pretty good, too, but needs to increase the shirtless Isaacs quotient…

    If only Dave Thomas from Wendy’s were still around.
