Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

In my day, never was longer.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

This really is a full service blog.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

    Those plaques look very familiar. My father retired to those parts and became involved in the local historical society. He’s been gone 20 years now, and I’ve not been back.

    A wonderful town, indeed.

    Oh my gosh, I want to live in the house and have that yard.  And you’re on the water!

    Jealous.  In a good way.

    Beautiful place !! As a person who has struggled to maintain really old houses, I can’t help but wonder how hard it is to keep those beautiful old homes in shape. Looking at the old unmaintained standing seam roof on the old low house, hoping it can’t leak for the beauty keeping water out!

    I’m sure there are hundreds of small towns along the coast like that, that aren’t completely run over by development, condo towers, blown out by storms. When my folks spent winters in FLA we would drive up and down the coast, and deep into mysterious inland Florida, and there were lots of little towns that looked like that. That was in the late 70s and up to the early 90s.

    Having been back to FLA since then, I can say that the headlong stampede to pave the barrier islands and cover then with high-rise condos, leaving no reason to be in FLA but weather, with no old Florida left behind continues unabated. Obviously between Betsy and Betty Cracker we know there is old FLA and Old Southern homes and towns tucked away hidden. Perhaps we should take a wander on old rural roads down south while it still seems safe… We’ve always enjoyed the small towns of GA, SC and FL, even NC also too. Louisiana is sweet in places.

    Sitting here in the gray beige brown Nebraska panhandle, the color was a welcome injection!
