Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

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

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

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

This chaos was totally avoidable.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

I thought you might like to compare your fine hat/s to the ones I saw this past Sunday at the 5th Ave. Easter Bonnet parade. Which one is your favorite? (Mine isn’t even a hat. It’s the two dapper gentlemen in their Sunday finery. Very nice!)

This is 17 yo Screamy, who really enjoyed the parade and has already picked out his/her (sorry, forgot to ask) 2024 parade costume.

    I knew the song, and I once heard an old Jack Benny radio show episode about it. But I just figured it was a quaint old thing that had died in the 1950s.

    My Long Island mother in law was big on dressing our daughters in Easter bonnets, the traditional white ones.

    Late to the parade…

    my favorite photo was of the gentlemen, on the left in pink tails and white top hat, and on the right the gentleman with a bright red top hat. So well turned out !!! Always appropriate for a fancy  ball gathering !!
