Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

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

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

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

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

Be a wild strawberry.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

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

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

In my day, never was longer.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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.
