Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

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

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

In after Baud. Damn.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

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

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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.
