Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Bark louder, little dog.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Stand up, dammit!

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

I really should read my own blog.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

    Charlton Heston says: “Morgan Freeman can have my “Voice of God” title when he pries it from my cold, dead… oh, right. Nevermind. You do know that Soylent Green is people, right?”

    Call me sentimental, but I still tear up every time I see something like this. In my short lifetime alone I’ve gone from being villified in school and having it be a big f*ing deal every time some talk show host came out of the closet to being able to marry my wife like anyone else. And we’ve got the Big Guy on our side now? Sweet ;-)

    It has long been alleged that Charlton Heston (by DeMille’s biographer for one, and in 2004 by Heston himself for the release of the DVD) provided the Voice of God in “The Ten Commandments”.

    That was a good ad on HRC’s part even without the brilliant move of asking Morgan Freeman to do the voiceover.
