Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Second rate reporter says what?

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

All hail the time of the bunny!

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

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

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

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

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

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Tick tock motherfuckers!

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

I thought you might like to compare your fine hat/s to the ones I saw this past Sunday at the 5th Ave. Easter Bonnet parade. Which one is your favorite? (Mine isn’t even a hat. It’s the two dapper gentlemen in their Sunday finery. Very nice!)

This is 17 yo Screamy, who really enjoyed the parade and has already picked out his/her (sorry, forgot to ask) 2024 parade costume.

    I knew the song, and I once heard an old Jack Benny radio show episode about it. But I just figured it was a quaint old thing that had died in the 1950s.

    My Long Island mother in law was big on dressing our daughters in Easter bonnets, the traditional white ones.

    Late to the parade…

    my favorite photo was of the gentlemen, on the left in pink tails and white top hat, and on the right the gentleman with a bright red top hat. So well turned out !!! Always appropriate for a fancy  ball gathering !!
