Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

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

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

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

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Be a wild strawberry.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Books are my comfort food!

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Their freedom requires your slavery.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

Since nothing in my life

by John Cole|  January 2, 20028:00 pm| 1 Comment

This post is in: First Posts, Media, Open Threads

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.
