Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

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

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

In my day, never was longer.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

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

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

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

Chris Matthews is interviewing Sen. John McCain about the impact of Watergate, which is interesting, as McCain was still in a POW camp when Watergate occurred.

I guess McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five and his recent attempts to stifle free speech with Campaign Finance Reform leaves him in a unique position to discuss political corruption.

Back from the wedding and still carrying a head cold. The thing I hate most about moving is getting the damned satellite pointed in the right direction, and that is my mission for the rest of this afternoon. However, a few comments about the game last night.

WAY TO GO U.S.A.!!!!!

I am not a fanatical soccer fan (Iplayed for a decade or so), in fact I am a fanatical American football fan, but I was up to watch the game last night, and it was rather exciting. To draw a comparison to what these guys have done- imagine a Division III college JV team winning the National League Championship Series. That is what our boys did last night. Congrats.

Woke up this morning with the dreaded summer head cold. I am currently on a sudafed, chlortrimetron/robitussin cocktail that should have me asleep in a half hour. I HAVE to get better by tomorrow, because I have to head out of twon for two days for a wedding. I wish I could time these things better.

Before I run off, mucho thanks to C. Dodd Harris (IV, I think), for the continuous and non-stop link-love and support. It really was a rough month, but I should be back in form in no time (meaning consistent posts every day- some of them may even be relevant and interesting).
