Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

In my day, never was longer.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans in disarray!

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Travelling Next Week

by John Cole|  June 6, 200311:14 am| 3 Comments

This post is in: Previous Site Maintenance

I will be travelling next week, leaving here Monday morning and driving to Memphis, where I will stay the night, and then driving on to Dallas. I figure two days of driving time, and then I fly home on Wednesday. If there is anyone in the area who would like to meet, send me an email.

BTW- I am not on business, but helping an old friend move. He left today with a moving van and one car in tow, and his wife is pregnant, so I volunteered to take the other car down for him.
