Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The willow is too close to the house.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

This really is a full service blog.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

In my day, never was longer.

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

    Reminds me of one of my all time favorite jokes.

    A Zen master visiting New York City goes up to a hot dog vendor and says, “Make me one with everything.”
    The hot dog vendor fixes a hot dog and hands it to the Zen master, who pays with a $20 bill.
    The vendor puts the bill in the cash box and closes it. “Excuse me, but where’s my change?” asks the Zen master.
    The vendor responds, “Change must come from within.”

    Those are truly beautiful and calming pics. You usually add some detail about who took them and where. Your customary addition would be welcome.

    Lovely and peaceful, SkyBluePink — a much-needed glimpse of serenity. These pictures seem to say, “All will be well.” Thank you!

    @satby:  SkyBluePink is the nym, not a description.  But maybe you knew that?

    These were taken on my property in Western North Carolina.
    I love the serenity of the Buddhas and I love flowers….
