Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Everybody saw this coming.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

I really should read my own blog.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Consistently wrong since 2002

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

    John, harkening back to the days of the Georgia Voting ID law, do you still think there were no racial motivations?

    Why is Nova doing a story on Olivia Newton John? Just in case anyone is about to call me stupid, I am quite aware that the story might be on Juice Newton.

    “If you get PBSHD”

    I don’t, but I might hae taped it on PBS if I’d not been watching Smallville and taping Alias, while reading. But I’ll bump it higher in priority when it repeats.

    I saw it. Newton figured out the secret to not getting laid, if you’re a guy with a taste for the ladies. Stay away from everybody except your same sex room mate and study ALL the time.
