Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

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

When I was faster i was always behind.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

When we show up, we win.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

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

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Tell Em Dean

Dean Esmay on Democrat whining about Republican fundraising:

So. We’ll get to hear more handwringing from the whiners of the Left about how much more money Bush has than his Democratic challengers. But while you’re listening to this pathetic whining–and make no mistake, you’ll hear lots more of it over the next year or so—just remember: Democrats set the game up this way, and Bush handed them the rope by which they hung themselves.

It is truly deserving of unbridled contempt.

At 8:46 PM, despite the fact that a terrible thunderstorm had knocked out his power and a tornado might be in the region, the Instapundit had this to say:

OKAY, ONE MORE: No damn tornado’s gonna stop me from posting.

He has not been heard from since.

*** Update ***

Neither rain, sleet, or tonadoes- he is back, ‘Multi-tasking as Usual,’ as MommaBear noticed.

This may be the most horrible thing I have ever heard of in my adult life. Dr. Catherine Hamlin is most assuredly reserved a spot in heaven.

Damnit!

My DVD player just died while trying to watch Catch Me If You Can. I have added several to my wish list, so if anyone is so inclined, it would me much appreciated. Otherwise I am going to have to wait a while to watch DVD’s. I am not sure when I will get to Pittsburgh (no Best Buy or Circuit City here in town- although we are getting a Super-Target- I have never been to one of those yet.).

Also, I missed the damned eclipse beacues it was so cloudy. Grumble.

The More I Read

The more I read, the less convinced I am that Scott Peterson killed his wife. Statistics alone would lead me to believe he is guilty, and I still think there is no way in hell he will get a fair trial. We shall see.
