Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

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

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

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

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

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Books are my comfort food!

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

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.
