Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

People are complicated. Love is not.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

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

American history and black history cannot be separated.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Let there be snark.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

This blog will pay for itself.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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.
