Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Fight them, without becoming them!

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Wiley Cash – A Land More Kind Than Home – Live Discussion

Tonight’s live chat is featuring author Wiley Cash, whose first book, A Land More Kind Than Home, was just released in paperback.

Wiley has been a friend of mine (and neighbor) for several years, and I am really excited about tonight’s discussion. Feel free to ask anything. For more information on Wiley, please visit his website.

For the record, we photoshopped that picture above a while back because he had the Angelina Jolie leg thrust pose. Little did I know that it would rocket to the top of google images and all his work friends would see it and laugh hysterically. Had I known that, I would have done it earlier.

    Well, I don’t know how this live chat thingymajoo works, but Wiley? You have written an excellent book (that I am 65% of the way through).

    My mother-in-law (who died a couple of years ago at the age of 102) was just like the people you write about in the book. She was from “the hills and hollers” of Tennessee and grew up in long skirts, mixing cornbread on the wood stove at age 5. (My husband LOVED pinto beans and cornbread and coleslaw all his life – his comfort food).

    She bore 9 children, 5 of whom she had at home – once she had to try to keep the baby from crowning while the doctor made his way up the hill on a donkey.

    Jeebus, I feel like you sneaky-peeked into one side of my family. Oh, and I should say that the whole Pentecostal/Holy Roller/talk to Jeebus in your heart was in the mix, too. Not the snake handling part, however. Thank Gawd.

    Anyway, thank you for a book that has kept me glued to the pages and sometimes literally in tears.

    P.S. Does this CoveritLive thing have some connection with Facebook? I don’t do Facebook.

    Anyway, I just want to say again how much I am enjoying your book, Wiley. I spent some of my sparse Xmas Amazon gift card funds on the kindle edition.

    Congrats on a book well done.

    If my given first name was Wiley, I would legally change (at least) my middle name to Coyote.

    Never heard of that book, but I must say Amazon makes it look quite worth reading.

    Really enjoyed the live chat with Wiley.

    BTW, Rachel is ripping John McGrumpy-onion-on-my-belt gramps a new one on her show right now. (Left coast here).
