Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

You cannot shame the shameless.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

We still have time to mess this up!

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

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

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

I really should read my own blog.

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

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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.
