Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

The next time the wall wtreet journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Bark louder, little dog.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

This really is a full service blog.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Happy dietary news, for once. The Washington Post reports on “The magical thing eating chocolate does to your brain”: In the mid 1970s, psychologist Merrill Elias began tracking the cognitive abilities of more than a thousand people in the state of New York. The goal was fairly specific: to observe the relationship between people’s blood …

Front pagers- stop making new categories for every whim. Use tags to be clever. We now have fifty categories with two posts or less in them. Some of the categories don’t even begin to make sense. We have a category titled ‘eh.’ WTF does that mean? What the hell does “Balloon Jobs” mean? Why? Tire …

B-J favorite drug resveratrol (RV) keeps cranking out the hits: We report here that chronic treatment with RV in a subapoptotic concentration induces senescence-like growth arrest in tumor cells. In contrast to the widely accepted antioxidant property of RV, we demonstrate that one causative stimulus for senescence induction by chronic RV is an increased level …
