Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

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

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Bark louder, little dog.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

All hail the time of the bunny!

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

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

Apparently the Steelers brought their offense but not their defense.

I’m not dead, but I feel like I am close. Another day of zinc, vitamin C, decongestant, and La-Z-Boy. Good thing is I have no fever, just those full body aches and the sinus and chest stuff. I’m being philosophical about this- I’m just getting a few of the shitty days of 2010 out of the way early. If I have not answered your email, just hold tight.

It is also cold as hell here- wind whipping and 5-10 degrees outside. Glasses fogged upfor two minutes when I came back inside.

And Go Steelers. Apparently there is a way for them to still get in the playoffs, but it would not surprise me if they lose to the Dolphins. They’ve lost to crappy teams all year, might as well lose to one more.

Watching Forbidden Kingdom on Showtime, another cheesy Jackie Chan vehicle, and I must just be a sucker for these things, but I’m having a lot of fun. At any rate, it features the drunken fist style, and that reminded me of one of the classics:

The drunken master style was the most fun of the styles in Jade Empire, too. Wonder why it was never made into a sequel.

I’m rambling.

Apparently I have decided to ring in the New Year with a head cold and some chest congestion. Awesome.
