Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

In my day, never was longer.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

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

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

On A Lighter Note

The other day, John Hawkins at Right Wing News posted some notable quotes from every President. today, I would like to offer two of my favorite remarks from political pundits.

My first was uttered by a female (I want to say Cokie Roberts or Margaret Carlson) during the Clinton impeachment (I think):

“Never underestimate the Republicans ability to shoot themselves in the foot while it is in their mouth.”

My all time favorite is by George Will about Howell Heflin:

“Sen. Heflin is a large, loud man who seems to be under the impression that the lungs are a resorvoir of thought.”

Feel free to add your own favorites in the comments section.
