Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Let me file that under fuck it.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

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

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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 is easy, I doubt this will work the first time I try it. If it does work, I will be moderately elated.
