Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Fight them, without becoming them!

Second rate reporter says what?

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

This fight is for everything.

Via Dean Esmay, it appears that the movie critics feel the cat should not have been let out of the bag:

“They may as well have skipped the hassle of securing licensing rights and simply called this mess Mike Myers: Asshole in Fur.” — Gregory Weinkauf, DALLAS OBSERVER

“Like being run over by a garbage truck that backs up and dumps its load on top of you.” — David Edelstein, SLATE

“A vulgar, uninspired lump of poisoned eye candy.” — A. O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES

The Defective Yeti has more.

    Mr. Cole,

    Sorry, this isn’t on the topic of this post… but I left Thanksgiving wishes at many weblogs, but I don’t think that I did so here – I hope that you and yours had a great Thanksgiving. There have been a lot of things going on in many of our lives, and in the Blogosphere as well – a lot of debate and frustration – but this weekend should be the time when we put aside our angst and worries, and observe and celebrate this holiday, while reflecting on the meaning of this occasion.

    I hope that I can keep that in mind…

    And I hope that you, and all of the readers of your site, had an excellent Thanksgiving, and have a relaxing and safe holiday weekend as well…

    Happy Thanksgiving, and God Bless!
