Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

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

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

I guess I did not miss the debate. Today Will Quick discusses blogs and Fair Use, something I was babbling about in my usual incoherent manner the other day (yesterday??).

Jima Romanesko points out this conversation in which it appears that some people are initmidated by Donald Rumsfeld. And, no. It is not the Taliban.

Rich Galen is up to his usual antics: providing plausible explanations to things I normally am to lazy to understand.

Moira Breenand Damian Penny trade salvos about Newfoundland.

I can personally attest that at least one segment of their economy is working- telemarketing. Capital One has called me from a Newfoundland extension three times in the last two days.

Little Green Footballs posts one way how to best employ telemarketers.

Something else bizarre. When I click on the permanent link of older posts (older is a relative term- in this case from five days ago), it takes me back to when my page was the other names it has been, which is odd.

I have got to figure out why I am only allowed to post a certain number of column inches before it cuts me off. Really annoying have to write in word, then post in reverse order pieces of one thing so it appears on the right order on the blog.
