Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Giving up is unforgivable.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

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

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

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

This really is a full service blog.

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

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Rudy Has Firefighters And McCain has Immigration Activists. Who Does Mitt Have?

This post is in: Open Threads, Politics

Answer: Dogs Against Romney.

If some grumpy-looking Vietnam vets can sink the Kerry campaign, I shudder to think what puppies can do to the Mittster.

Any Connecticut readers out there? I think it would be a fine idea to call your Independent Senator’s office and tell him how much you support his idea that the government should be able to surveil private citizens purely at its own discretion. I would certainly feel safer if president Hillary kept much closer tabs on the personal communications of a crazy warmonger like Joe Lieberman.

Happy Birthday to Me

It is my 37th.

And like all single dorks, my big plans include watching some movies this afternoon while lying on the couch and then having a big dinner and probably watching some more movies.

I think I am going old school today:

I was seven-eight when SW IV came out, and I think I saw it 8 times in the theatre.

Also, a quick shout out to my younger brother and sisters:

The eldest children in families tend to develop higher I.Q.’s than their siblings, researchers are reporting today, in a large study that could settle more than a half-century of scientific debate about the relationship between I.Q. and birth order.

That is right, Devon, Seth, and Anne. I got the looks, the sense of humor, and the brains. Suck it.
