Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Books are my comfort food!

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

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

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

You cannot shame the shameless.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Shut up, hissy kitty!

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The willow is too close to the house.

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 is easy, I doubt this will work the first time I try it. If it does work, I will be moderately elated.
