Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Consistently wrong since 2002

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

He really is that stupid.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Let me file that under fuck it.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

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

When we show up, we win.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

This fight is for everything.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

One of the problems with blogging is that after a few months of it, you run across so many good sites that inevitably you never have everyone you think you do on your blogroll. Sometimes you have people you wish you didn’t. Other times you discover that some of the people in your links haven’t blogged for weeks or months.

A good example of the first situation, in which someone you thought you had on your link list but wasn’t there is Jennie Taliaferro’s Greatest Jeneration. Make sure you drop by, take a browse around, and say hello if it suits you.

A really good example of the final case, in which someone in your links hasn’t blogged for weeks, is Ken Layne. His counterpart, Matt Welch, has been posting daily, so I can only assume several things.

1.) Layne is still drunk from an orgy of Anaheim Angels worship.
2.) He is drunk in preparation for the return of the Lakers.
3.) He is in a Turkish prison.
4.) The aliens finally got him. And not the Haitian kind.
