Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

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

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

The words do not have to be perfect.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Consistently wrong since 2002

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

The National Guard is not Batman.

No one could have predicted…

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Republicans do not trust women.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

    That post was pretty thin on anything worth linking to. Well-written, maybe, but somewhat content-free, and even insight-free.

    Sometimes bombing people is a bad idea. For the times when it’s not, drones are the best way to get it done.

    And right on cue, a B&H ad for remote flying camera platforms atop comments.

    Yay, the future today.

    @trollhattan: I looked at a cheap one in Fry’s. The box touted its quick charge time. Ten minutes of flight on a three hour charge. I was considering covering race nights with one, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ten minute sailboat race, and we do three or four.

    How ironic would it be for Obama to live out his retirement in fear of the ever increasing threat of a drone delivering retribution to him and his entourage.

    @FromTheBackOfTheRoom: leave it to a “pacifist” emoprog/firebagger to fantasize of Obama’s murder.

    thankfully Obama derangement syndrome is covered under ACA

    you’re sick and need help. Hopefully you’ll seek it before the Secret Service catches up with you.

    @David Koch:

    No fantasy, no threat, just an observation that a slavering, blood-thirsty coward might live to regret his casual homicides as technology brings his own weapon of choice into the hands of people as demented as he is.

    @FromTheBackOfTheRoom: Jesus–just call him the N-word and be done with it.

    And I think you’re referring to George W. Bush, but what do I know…

    There’s nothing to justify this comment. It’s pitiful, actually.
