Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Let’s finish the job.

Let there be snark.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I really should read my own blog.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Consistently wrong since 2002

This really is a full service blog.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Republicans in disarray!

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

The revolution will be supervised.

Okay, before I turn everything off for the night, I needed some respite. And then suddenly babies started showing up everywhere. So here they all are.

Omg, you 2 are so precious!

And my very own daily cuteness. Sometimes I just sit in the backyard and watch everyone play together. Dogs, cats and ducks.

great dane and duck friends

Feel free to add to the momentary relief with cuteness of your own.

    Transformation

    This anxious dog didn’t feel safe in his new house — so his dad built him his own room under the stairs

    There was a report on the evening news that over-the-hill grifter rock band KISS is planning an ‘underwater concert’ someplace in Australia. Rooting for the sharks to attend in great numbers.

    @Mike in NC: So they’ll be underwater with concert goers? Or they’ll be underwater while their fans will be on land? Sounds idiotic but I guess they’re trying desperately to be different.

    @Mike in NC: My best friend in fifth grade was part of the KISS army. I used to know all their names, and I remember the KISS (TV) movie. “Rip, rip, rip, rip and destroy”

    Watching Horror Hotel on TCM. It’s very odd to see Christopher Lee doing an American accent, but he does a good job.

    I will share my love for Mia the Beagle at the Westminster Dog Show 2017

    Note: I have a beagle and yep that’s how they are, but lovable as all get out.

    @mrmoshpotato:

    It’s more like Satanic Gregorian chants.

    But there must have been something odd in the air in 1960, because there were two different movies made in two different countries at the same time that had the same plot twist at the midpoint — the other one was Psycho.
