Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The willow is too close to the house.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Consistently wrong since 2002

So many bastards, so little time.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Not all heroes wear capes.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

We still have time to mess this up!

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

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.
