Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

I was promised a recession.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

    On the “spam filter”, the proper spelling of “sockialism” still causes my messages to be bit-bucketed without notice.

    No. It’s time to invade Iraq. And that’s good news for John McCain.

    Sorry, Cole. Having grown up in Suffolk County, NY during the era of Mike Bossy, I gotta stand up and say “Let’s go, Isles!” More importantly, let’s go, Knicks!

    Charles Ramsey tells how he rescued missing women

    Ramsey says he knows he did a “good deed” but he’s finding it difficult to live with the fact that the three girls were being held against their will next door to him for so long. After retelling the story he originally relayed the night before, Ramsey reacted to the internet sensation he has become, with the anchor asking him what it’s like to be “hashtag Charles Ramsey.”

    “I don’t even want it,” Ramsey said of the attention. “They keep saying I’m a hero. Let me tell you something, I’m an American, and I’m a human being. I’m just like you. I work for a living. There was a woman in distress, so why turn your back on that?”

    It will be very nice later this evening if the Sharks boot the Canucks out of the playoffs in a sweep.

    Subban ought to be serving a suspension for his disgraceful antics last game; instead he scores the first goal. Ugh.

    The Mets are going to suck this year, and will probably suck next year, but Matt Harvey is the truth.

    Yikes. Pens are in trouble if they can’t get their goaltending situation straightened out.

    @Yatsuno: What happened to that lead? After the Pens got spanked, I’d love to see the Habs humiliated tonight.
