Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Wait, what?

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

Books are my comfort food!

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I am back from my trip, and I had a great time. I spent five days in the suburbs of Philly with some great people, lounging by the pool and drinking scotch til the wee hours of the morning. Trip highlights included a concert, a night of fireworks at the country club, a boisterous game of Trivial Pursuit, and finding out that I have a cinder block for a right foot when I drive a 2002 Mercedes (I routinely found myself doing 95 on the highway- but in my defense, 95 in a Mercedes feels like 50 in my old Chevy Celebrity). I also got a pedicure (my father had one in NY three weeks ago and said it made his feet feel 20 years younger). It was wonderful, and it restored much of the damage that my lacrosse cleats and my combat boots had inflicted on my poor feet. A great time, indeed.
