Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

In after Baud. Damn.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

How stupid are these people?

Celebrate the fucking wins.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

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

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Everybody saw this coming.

I really should read my own blog.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Transparent Idiocy

Also while I was ill, I see the former Vice-Robot made a speech to our favorite group of activists, MoveOn.Org. With the recent influx of five million in cash from convicted insider trader (really- it is only bad when Republicans do it) and Jew hating Jew George Soros (“Jews run the world, and now to prove it I am going to shower everyone who is against Bush with money so my choice for President wins!”), perhaps this ‘grassroots’ movement should think of a name change to ‘MovingOnUp.Org.’

At any rate, Gore’s speech reminded me of the last time I saw a sad man in a clown suit shuffling across stage in a display of impotent irrelevance:

If someone stood up in a crowd,

and raised his voice up way out loud,

and waved his arm and shook his leg,

You’d notice him.

    “TV has made nation complacent, Gore said” That’s Gore, soon to own his own TV network

    I, like you, am totally fed up with the vast majority of politicians. It is evident that their sole reason for existence is to perpetuate their position in office. Winning is the ONLY morality and their ONLY principle. Not too many years ago, most of these clowns would have been literally ridden out of town on a rail…covered with tar and feathers.
    Keep up the great work. The web is becoming the last outpost of patriots.

    Al Gore: the musical

    In one of the most creative posts I’ve seen in awhile, John Cole skewers Al Gore’s speech to Move On (their motto: “We make ‘Bushitler’ rhetoric mainstream!”). I don’t want to give too much away, but you’ll appreciate John’s riff…

    Frozen, Flustered, And Lame

    Given that Al Gore’s global warming speech got a frosty reception from Mother Nature, it’s all the more fitting that Mr. Cellophane himself seems stuck in rhetorical deep freeze: Gore, in a speech before a full house at the Beacon…
