Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

We still have time to mess this up!

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Let’s finish the job.

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

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Everybody saw this coming.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

The willow is too close to the house.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

    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…
