Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Second rate reporter says what?

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Cue the Hallelujah Chorus. Jonathon

Cue the Hallelujah Chorus. Jonathon Alter was just on MSNBC claiming that this is not a political scandal, but a corporate scandal. And he then just as quickly said they(the Bush administration) are not off the hook yet, as “there are important questions which need to be answered.” None of those questions is “Who pays Jonathon Alter and why?”

Stay tuned for more vacillating by our favorite talking heads.
