Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

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

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

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

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

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

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The complete anti-globalization questionnaire can

The complete anti-globalization questionnaire can be found at Protein Wisdom (whose fancy layout gives me site envy).

The twerps at the WTO meeting and the recent WEF always remind me of the scene in Monty Python’s The Life of Brian in which they ask what the Romans have ever done for them:

REG: They’ve bled us white, the bastards. They’ve taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers’ fathers.

LORETTA: And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers.

REG: Yeah.

LORETTA: And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers’ fathers.

REG: Yeah. All right, Stan. Don’t labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return?!

XERXES: The aqueduct?

REG: What?

XERXES: The aqueduct.

REG: Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that’s true. Yeah.

COMMANDO #3: And the sanitation.

LORETTA: Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?

REG: Yeah. All right. I’ll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.

MATTHIAS: And the roads.

REG: Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don’t they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads–

COMMANDO: Irrigation.

XERXES: Medicine.

and on and on until:

REG: All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
