Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

People are complicated. Love is not.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

The lights are all blinking red.

Let there be snark.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

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.
