Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

In my day, never was longer.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

“woke” is the new caravan.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

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

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

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

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Safety Nazi Alert:

I was opening my club soda about an hour ago, when I found this helpful warning on the bottle;

Warning! Contents under pressure Cap may blow off causing eye or other serious injury. Point away from face and people, especially while opening.

No instructions were given on how to drink from the bottle while pointing it away from my face, however. Thank you, Canada Dry Legal Department.

Gun Ownership is up, and that is a good thing according to Jeff Jacoby.

I tend to agree, even though I personally do not own any guns, nor do I intend to. I do, however, get irked by a presumptuous government that deems it necessary to tell me what I can and can not own, particularly when gun ownership is pretty clearly permitted in the big document we are forced to read in 4th grade history class but the majority of us seem to forget before 5th grade starts. Furthermore, it seems to me the people who are most dangerous around guns are the people who know the least about them.

Which reminds me, if one more anti-gun zealot brings up the “you are more likely to hurt yourself with a gun than anyone else” to attack the self-defense reasoning for gun ownership, I am gonna have a minor aneurysm. No kidding folks. And guess what. You are less likely to accidentally electrocute yourself in the bathtub with a hair dryer if you do not own a hair dryer (or a bath tub for that matter- which may be plausible for some of the WTO hating crowd). Maybe there is more to their argument than that, but usually the drool and sanctimony gets so thick from these Handgun Control, Inc. fruits that I may miss the rest of their argument.

At any rate, even though I choose not to own one, I say “Lock and load, America!”, and just remember Ted Nugent’s sensible rules for gun safety. For the lazy, I will post them here:

1.) ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.
2.) NEVER POINT A WEAPON AT ANYTHING YOU’RE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

That wasn’t too hard now, was it?

Alrighty. Making progress. Added a hit counter and that tell-a-friend thing. It is kinda ugly (although I appreciate the service Bravenet), so I am not sure if it will last. If I can figure out how to modify the colors, I will. I will keep you posted.

The folks at The Libertarian Samizdata express some of my sentiments on the Euro far more succinctly that I have… All I managed to muster is I thought it was dumb and ugly. They agree, but they state it much more eloquently.

Everyone is talking about Cornell West and the Harvard Flap. CheckInstapundit, check the Economist, check all the other blogs. I refuse to talk about it. My stance is, and will be, that Cornell West is a Bleeding Idiot and should be ignored. Of course, by talking about him I have failed to follow my own advice.
