Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

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

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

A consequence of cucumbers

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Meet "Ryzhyk". He ran away from the hostess who is hiding from the bombing in our basement, and hid in the chapel on the closet :) In addition to the cat we have dogs and a parrot. God bless us! #Ukraine #Kyiv pic.twitter.com/AuogZPtCZ4

Jorts has a potential competitor! These tweets showed up in Foreign Affairs editor James Palmer’s Twitter feed. Ryzhyk does not look, to me, as though he is particularly scared, does he?

"Ryzhyk" is very scared, so he got out from the closet in the sacristy and came to me for Holy Mass. He did not receive Holy Communion, apparently, he did not confess! pic.twitter.com/eC0XLCLzlz

(For those not raised in the Church, one has to be in ‘a state of grace’, attainable by confessing one’s sins, in order to receive a Communion wafer. For your average ginger cat, that would mean a period of no more than 75 seconds between absolution and the Communion service… )

    I can’t comment about anything without first saying all my hopes are with the people of Ukraine.   I also dearly hope this is the last time our world will resort to invasion and war, …yeah, I am a dreamer.  You can join me

    I’m also curious as to how many geoducks are on here?

    @mrmoshpotato: mrmoshpotato, yep. 
    I basically want a Wicker Man with Mitch McConnell  in it (no Q – him first ) and maybe Murdoch. Yes, more complicated to get, but followed by Putaine…  yes that was deliberate. Trump would be a bonus. Never mind bothering to fire them into the sun. We can do this here in srsly natural ways. Lumber +straw? <$5K. Considerably cheaper than a lift off from Earth into the sun.

    A little more choral music in the Kievian tradition.
    In Russian, “Spaséñiye, sodélal” sung by men of the U.S. Army chorus.
    In English, “Salvation Is Created” sung in the original mixed chorus version by the Te Deum Choir. Perhaps Rhyzyk, the dog, and the birds would sing along.

    No, Kitty doesn’t look scared to me.  Has a rather proud air, in fact.

    Russian Central Bank raises borrowing rates from 9.5% to 20%.

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to get an adjustable rate mortgage from Vodka Savings and Loan

    I always wondered what “state of grace” (1990 film) meant. Pre google, I was too lazy to look it up at the library. The first two acts of the movie were great, with Gary Oldman stealing the movie, but the third act stunk.​

    @Amir Khalid: Yes, and I do believe he is an alum. The Evergreen State College mascot is a geoduck, hence my query.
