Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

In my day, never was longer.

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

This really is a full service blog.

No one could have predicted…

People are complicated. Love is not.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Bark louder, little dog.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

He really is that stupid.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

A half dozen men of

A half dozen men of “American Origin” have been arrested in Pakistan and handed over to US authorities.

Good. Treat them as war criminals, then once we have established that they have renounced their citizenship through treasonous acts, try them in military tribunals, and then hang them by the neck until dead. If you don’t have enough rope, call me, and I will make a donation.

These people are the biggest threat to our way of life-they have passports- and they need to be terminated with the same dispassionate response you have every time you see an ant on your kitchen floor or a moth on your big screen tv. Kill them, cremate the bodies, throw the ashes somewhere unknown, and then watch their damned friends. And if this means the FBI has to sit outside a mosque or two, so be it.

Before you tell me I am eroding our rights- I agree with the ACLU damn near 50% of the time.

John Cole’s salsa recipe: One

John Cole’s salsa recipe:

One large can peeled whole tomatos
One onion cut into eighths
One half small jar of mild, medium, or hot sliced banana peppers
1/3 bunch cilantro

Throw it all in a blender for 5 bursts of the pulse. Add Kosher salt, black pepper, and white pepper to taste. Sometimes a tablespoon of good olive oil in the blender is fun.

Eat with the lime tortilla chips and drink with copious amounts of frozen fruity drinks or Coronas.

This gripe is two days old, but still…

We got screwed in the South Korea game. Period. It was the worst officiated and most biased game of soccer I have ever seen in a World Cup match. Period.

It seems silly and redundant to keep saying how great Will Warren’s posts are, because they are all fabulous, but this tribute to the Yorktown, her crew, and the workers who rebuilt her prior to Midway is just outstanding. Go read it.
