Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

“woke” is the new caravan.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

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

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

I really should read my own blog.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

    a couple of basic questions: When is the Dem primary?

    Can EW use money donated in the primary in a general campaign?

    I’d be more inclined if you changed your nym to “The Dougerhead”.
    I’ve been enjoying things more lately when I add “The” to the front end.

    Thanks for the reminder about donating to EW. I’ve been putting off any donations as I have to get approval through my employer’s compliance department, but it’s time to figure out the process. Nothing like a little rude comment to get me motivated.

    I can’t identify the title reference.

    When I run it through my database it just keeps turning up the same two George Thorogood lyrics:

    Gonna have a drink man, I’m gonna get gassed.

    Come on baby, have a taste with me.

    and those ain’t it. :(

    I got the title reference. I guess you have to be of an age that you were heavily into pop-radio music around 1986.
