Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

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

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

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

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

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.
