Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

People are weird.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

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.
