Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

All hail the time of the bunny!

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

You know what I n-n-n-need.

Or maybe you don’t: this is for the metrosexual Kenyan Usurper.

    Thanks for the reminder and link. I keep intending to do this after work but life kept getting in the way. Done! for the secret moozlim (according to an email from a former friend).

    Well this fucking sucks. David Rakoff, one of my favorite This American Life contributors and Fresh Air guest passed away at 47. An immensely funny and creative talent.

    I hadn’t done my part yet this electoral season, so after consulting my bank account I threw in some greenbacks.

    @Hal: This.

    David Rakoff is an American Treasure. He will be sorely missed.

    @Bighorn Ordovican Dolomite: yep, I feel so proud for finally getting one of DougJ’s post titles, and that without looking.

    Apropos of boots, I recently discovered that the reason Ms Zagloba didn’t appreciate Spinal Tap was that she didn’t pick up on the satire. We may have to rewatch…

    When I’ve maxed out to Obama, (awfully close now) who or what organization/committee/ PAC is the best alternate recipient to help his reelection?

    @PeakVT: Love the spaceship house. I mean Rmoney leaves The Onion in tears of frustration as they simply cannot keep pace with Rmoney’s own self-parodying.
