Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

In my day, never was longer.

This really is a full service blog.

Be a wild strawberry.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

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

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

“But what about the lurkers?”

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

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

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.
