Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

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

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

So very ready.

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

The National Guard is not Batman.

Fight them, without becoming them!

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

“But what about the lurkers?”

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

    Let them in!!
    This would kill me. I know hotel windows rarely open, I couldn’t handle the guilt stares.

    Hopefully, those little guys can find a relatively protected place to hide.

    I love birds.

    @cckids: People saw this and were sad because it is a very high up floor on a building where windows do not open.

    Hello Seattle PD I would like to file a missing persons report on the Seattle Seahawk Offense, I think the OC might be responsible. Also congratulations??? to the NFL for fielding the Seahawk/Packer game with blind and deaf referees.

    Parrot picture made me incredibly sad when I first saw it on Twitter. Thought it was one more Irma animal abuse shot showing some crazy people had abandoned their pets.

    But turns out these two work the area regularly. This tweet explains:

    I’ll let you guys no how they fared-I work in the office building connected to the dadeland marriot and they visit often

    Though the person’s twitter feed says she just got to Atlanta, so we may have to wait for follow-up.

    Scores dead or soon to be and out of the blue I’m worried for two little feathered critters who cannot simply come in out of the rain. Still, I’m with cckids, and must break here with out esteemed host. (@MazeDancer: Thx for the follow-up info.)

    Sitting in a hammock between two palms and the birds squawking above me just shit on me. Screw the birds!

    Also, these two hurricanes have made me start to reconsider living out here in Hawaii. We’ve dodged most of the hurricanes the past couple decades, but with global warming making them stronger it may not be smart to stay long. It’s only a matter of time before we get hit by a big one and there is nowhere to evacuate to.

    Apparently, the handegg gods have decreed that there can be only one decent team in East Rutherford. Looks like it’s going to be Becton Regional again this year.

    And the previous blog showing oven-fried “chicken” didn’t put them off at all?
