Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Consistently wrong since 2002

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Let there be snark.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

This really is a full service blog.

I was promised a recession.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

    Well, it looks like a made a promise I can’t keep. I had planned to go but (luckily) had a great date last night with a very nice girl that has cut out of my budget the time and funds I had set aside from work. Have fun everyone! I plan on making the next one for sure.

    Not sure the festival can have “ideas” without David Brooks, Charles Murray, or the Moustache of Understanding. Just saying…

    Why am I sitting here reading (and commenting) while I should be getting ready to go to McGee’s? (Because it shouldn’t take me all that long to get there?)

    “Not sure the festival can have “ideas” without David Brooks, Charles Murray, or the Moustache of Understanding. Just saying…”

    My suggestion is that the center of the table be graced with a copy of Charles Murray’s latest tome with the half of the title that says “The State of White America” blacked out with magic marker a la Brooks’ NYT Review which mentioned the real title not at all, and that all of the attendees wear fake moustaches. Should take care of that problem…

    How long would it take Andy Breitbart to get to McGee’s from Wash.DC?

    @Egg Berry: That’s why I don’t understand economics! I always take the subway instead of the cab.

    I’m going to go look for y’all in a bit (around 4 hopefully).

    If you see a lost guy walking with a cane, it’s me.

    Please drink with Hayekian modesty and Burkean restraint.
