Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

This blog will pay for itself.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

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

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

This is from the @OFATruthTeam Twitter feed, and I thought it was pretty funny by political campaign standards. Open thread.

    Putting your foot up on the Resolute desk is so much worse than sending thousands of Anericans to die in Iraq.

    I wonder how the receptionist for the Union for the Defense of the Culture, Rights, and Freedoms of the Indigenous Numerically Small Peoples of the Pri-Amurye answers the phone?

    Oh, the story is about very small populations of indigenous peoples in the Russian Far East who want Moscow to intervene to protect them, as it intervened to “protect” Russians in Crimea.

    @Gin & Tonic: I’m afraid the indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East do not quite understand that they are not Russians, and therefore unworthy of being protected.

    @BGinCHI: I think it’s far more likely that the kid saw a rerun of one of Jenny’s MTV appearances from the 90’s and was hit with the Tommy effect.

    No. Presidenting while blah one of Those People is inherently wrong. There are plenty of pictures of other presidents with their feet on the desk that didn’t generate anything like the same level of outrage. Anything that Obama does is automatically wrong because of who he is, not because that behavior is especially problematic.

    I hear they are also considering re-signing Namath, and are in talks with Fran Tarkenton. (You know, one passer who can’t walk, to break up the monotony of three running backs who can semi-throw. Although Fran was actually a half-decent passer.)

    Not being a Buckeye (or whatever Ohioanianians call themselves), I’m guessing it’s because Ohio State insists on referring to themselves as THE Ohio State University? If that’s not it, then what joke am I missing?
