Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The words do not have to be perfect.

This fight is for everything.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

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

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

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

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

You cannot shame the shameless.

People are complicated. Love is not.

    The war in Afghanistan keeps claiming or nearly claiming promising young lives.

    This young man is the son-in-law of my brother’s high school buddy:

    This is not the first time Gracie decided to jump in the fridge.

    Also, Bella.

    Howzabout that mocking of sports in general in the comic? Other people enjoy activities that I do not! Ha ha! Aren’t they silly? If they weren’t such sheep they would enjoy something so cool that they;ve never heard of it.

    You can bet the strip searching will be a useful tactic against Occupy and all other protesters. Personally I prefer it to pepper spray in the face. Hopefully there will be video cameras when they strip search the old people who protest the Schools of the Americas every year. It might motivate the country the way fire hoses once did.

    @khead:

    Wonderful pix! Next time I want to see Gracie brooding on a nest of eggs.

    Bella is lovely, too.

    @MikeJ: Fascinating, that the slur against sports fans is answered immediately, but the slur against the mentally disabled is not.

    Not that it matters what a dogshit bigot Naderite truther like Rall says about anything, though.

    Oh no. Not Ted Rall again. Most of us have pets that can draw better than Ted Rall.

    @middlewest:

    word, and thank you. WTF is wrong with antidepressants, Mr. Rall? Are they only for the weak or something?

    I hate all sports, but not as much as I hate Ted Rall.

    Government-mandated mandatory assplay?

    Where is the Supreme Court on this?

    Oh well. Tried to do something special this sunday night since I had the time. I cooked up a breaded pork chop with a little celeriac mash and a radish salad.

    Right now a front is rolling through and the weather service says we might have several inches of wet sticky snow by morning, though I suspect they’ll get the most up on the Arrowhead.

    It’s raining now, but the thunder I just heard gives me the hope of THIUNDERSNOW come midnight, when it’s expected to be cold enough to actually start sticking.

    Since I work nights, I imagine if we do get snow, it’ll be melted before I even wake up. Sounds like it might be perfect iceball snow, too!

    I find the idea that depressed people would somehow be motivated to riot if only we were off our meds fascinating. Because motivation and depression are words I don’t exactly associate with each other.

    Can we mock all sports? Including (especially) the Stupor Bowl?

    Ted Rall is awful. Does Laurie contribute anything to this blog aside from gardening tips and terrible cartoons?
