Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

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

    Isn’t it beyond ironic that the Publisher’s Clearinghouse spokesperson is being foreclosed on?

    Now when Ed shows up at your door he’ll say “Your A Winner…of a house guest!! HEYYY-OOOHHHH!!!! What’s for dinner?”

    Waiting for someone to foreclose on the White House. Dubya put 475 second mortgages on it to pay for Iraq.

    Good one, Bobzim. I was thinking along similar lines: “Too bad Ed McMahon can’t expect anyone to show up at his door telling him he’s won the Publisher’s Clearinghouse sweepstakes. . .”

    New stimulus plan: Pay-per-view pinks fight for your home. Proceeds pay off the winner’s mortgage, loser gets foreclosed on.

    First up: McMahon vs. Holyfield!

    Will McMahon’s broken neck slow him down, or can he still get in and bite off some ear?

    It’s hard for me to get all broken up over a millionaire losing his mansion. BUT… if said person assigns great sentimental value to his home (or what-have-you), I’ll hold my tongue.

    I say this because I’m about to lose something I care greatly about… and it looks like I won’t be able to stop it.

    The problem appears to be more widespread than we thought.

    Sorry, no sympathy here. To compare what’s happening to these two guys is an insult to those who did get hurt by the loan industry scam.

    Forelosures..check.
    Crude…138+ today…check.
    Dow down over 400 today…check.
    Unemployment…yup 8.5 million…check.
    Chimpy gives a speech and blames the loss of jobs on new entries into the job market..recent grads…hmmmm.
    Senate report confirms we were LIED into “war” with Iraq…check.
    Hey America! How does it feel to be lied to?
    Can I give you a “check”?…ooops, that account is overdrawn.
    Anyway, nice to know that Ed and Evander are in the same sinking boat.

    She added: “It’s scary. I never owned a home before in my life before I met Ed.”

    King replied: “I don’t think you’ll own one again.”

    Larry might want to work on that bedside manner.

    The really funny thing is if you read it carefully, the dude just went bankrupt…the “foreclosure crisis” is his public umbrella for saving face.
