Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

I was promised a recession.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Please don’t feed the bears.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

Second rate reporter says what?

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

Fight them, without becoming them!

Their freedom requires your slavery.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

    What is it about Canada? Self-confidence? Ruinous decadence showing that they are going the way of all great empires, like ancient Rome?

    William Shatner sings O Canada.
    https://www.nfb.ca/film/william_shatner_sings_o_canada/

    I would like to see the outrage if that Olympics spot, or Shatner’s O Canada were done in the U.S.

    Maybe we can get Bill to do one for the Star Spangled Banner?

    Edit: Seriously, I want something like that for the U.S. so I can see the outrage. I think it’s fun.

    John Scalzi is basically turning his back on Sochi.

    The longer version is that the unfathomable graft and incompetence and horrible homophobic bigotry that surrounds this particular iteration of the Olympics has massively swamped my usual benign indifference to the thing.

    Okay so how is the major news in this story not the fact that the New Jersey Mayor’s mansion is called “Drumthwacket”?

    Sounds like Daffy Duck telling off someone playing the drums too loud.

    It does give the whole scandal a sort of Gilbert and Sullivan or Monty Python flair though it’s true.

    There’s nothing like having such a foul, despicable despot like Putin putting a vicious hit on gay personhood to make it not only cool and rebellious, but downright patriotic to support gays. Counter to his intent, Vlad’s becoming an agent of broader worldwide acceptance of gays.
