Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

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

Second rate reporter says what?

This blog will pay for itself.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

I was promised a recession.

    France is certainly the winner in terrible haircuts. Looks as if the entire team was attacked by a rogue hedge clipper

    On the other hand, the French kit has got it going on. Classic styling. And then you follow with that national anthem? Oh, it is on, Honduras. It is on

    And this is opening verse

    Let’s go children of the fatherland,
    The day of glory has arrived!
    Against us tyranny’s
    Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)
    In the countryside, do you hear
    The roaring of these fierce soldiers?
    They come right to our arms
    To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!

    While they follow with this

    Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,
    Bear or hold back your blows!
    Spare these sad victims,
    Regretfully arming against us. (repeat)
    But not these bloodthirsty despots,
    But not these accomplices of Bouillé,
    All of these animals who, without pity,
    Tear their mother’s breast to pieces!

    Gotta love that

    Glad they installed the cameras. They need to put those up on the jumbotrons so everyone can stop arguing.

    But the spray cans are just a brilliant idea. They could have done that 50 years ago.

    @2liberal:
    Now that our dearly missed friend Randinho is back with us, we can expect to see him back with football posts not just during the World Cup, but also every weekend for the upcoming season which kicks off again in August and runs through the middle of next May.

    @tsquared2001: It’s even better in person.

    Pretty amazing night. Then of course Hollande actually took office and became the first socialist in history to preach Reaganite trickle-down economics. Sigh.

    I guess policies that actually would have worked were too scary.

    As they say in France, “Well, that’s fine in practice, but it will never work in theory.”

    Will the second goal be credited to Karim Benzema, making it the first hat-trick of World Cup 2014, or will it be declared an own goal by the Honduras keeper?

    It must be said: Those who troll these posts haven’t been present in the same numbers as in the past. In 2010, they were as annoying as the vuvuzelas. Lets hope that it doesn’t get to that point where you have to start implementing the ban hammer again.

    I lurked for a few years before I started commenting (DougJ wasn’t an FPer yet), and I started commenting shortly after J.G. had his epiphany. You were already commenting at that point I decided to chirp here.

    Shorter me: A long time.
