Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When we show up, we win.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

How stupid are these people?

No one could have predicted…

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

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

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

Ok. Title is too long,

Ok. Title is too long, so we can not use that.

And I need to figure out how to indent paragraphs. Maybe a pretty visual layout will make up for the inappropriately used words and typos. Hopefully.

My, my my… I thought

My, my my… I thought this would be much more difficult. Take that Glenn. Actually, Glenn, Mr. Sullivan, and a variety of other people who I have been following daily are the reason I am starting this little project. I am not sure what I intend to accomplish with this, but I have covered any possible failure by refusing to set any goals. “Aim High,” I always say.
I think this might be a healthy place for me to air my pet grievances and bizarre political viewpoints- at least it will be healthier than the local pub, where I am in striking distance of the people I am offending. At any rate, I read a good deal of news sites, and I get irritated with all of the stupid and irrational things that get stated in our media without ANYONE challenging them. Fortunately, there are a lot of good folks out there debunking the garbage (I will get links I like up once I figger this all out), and I intend to help them. In fact, I think this stream of consciousness description has helped me to come up with the full title for the the corner. “The Curmudgeon’s Corner- Helping People Make fools of Themselves.”

Since nothing in my life

Since nothing in my life is easy, I doubt this will work the first time I try it. If it does work, I will be moderately elated.
