Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

I really should read my own blog.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

… gradually, and then suddenly.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

    To summarize the episode, everyone talked in very quiet-but-serious tones with nary a smile in the bunch.

    @Keith P: then they all go to Hawaii, but bad stuff happens when one of them uncovers a tiki doll. It’s an interesting turn of events.

    I tried to quit watching it because I pretty much despise every single character at this point, including the children. Well, I can’t help but admire Gemma a bit. And Bobby would be fun at a tailgate. But everyone else should go die in the nearest fire.

    Anyway, after resolving to give up on the series some time ago, I got sucked back in during a recent bout of insomnia. But I missed this week’s episode. So what happened? I hope someone put that mopey psychopath Juice outta his goddamned misery. Spoilers welcomed!

    @Suffern ACE: Oh, damn, I didn’t realize it was a two-hour ep! In the end, did Phil leave the hotel room and get a massage with Miss Kay, or did he stab someone in the head repeatedly with a fork?

    For some reason, on Wed. the 11th, TCM will be showing 9 – count’ em, 9 – movies involving football back to back.

    Yuppers. Sometimes they stretch it a little too far. There was one day a while back when every film had the word ‘blue’ in the title.

    Didn’t know if Dec 11 might be a major football anniversary or something. Been on this planet for a long, long time, and if I said I’ve watched or heard five minutes of real-life football over that span, would be grossly exaggerating.

    @MikeJ:

    Do you know whether “The Wind Journeys” (the “squeezebox throwdown”) is one of Patton Oswalt’s selections as tonight’s TCM “Guest Programmer”? He was blowing Robert Osborne’s mind earlier this evening while describing the gay subtext of the original “3:10 to Yuma” movie.

    And my mind was blown a few moments ago upon learning that the Belgian/French film “Aaltra” is scheduled to air at 2:00am EST. Because one doesn’t come across pitch-black comedies about middle-aged men in wheelchairs seeking justice for their injuries all that often. A deliciously nasty piece of work. Those of you for whom it’s still December 10 might want to check it out.

    If Oswalt is responsible for all of tonight’s programming from “Kind Hearts and Coronets” to “Road to Bali,” that is one mighty peculiar sensibility.

    @Amir Khalid: Taking lessons from the Republicans I see,

    What China really needs is some sort of left-wing political party committed to ruling on behalf of the workers and peasants. It hasn’t had one of those before, has it?

    @John: As long as it’s over already. The last few episodes should have been hosted by Howie Mandel, shouting “Deal or no deal?!” every ten minutes.

    (Yeah, I’m late to this thread.)
