Balloon Juice - Get off my grass you damned kids Archives

I was going to talk about this Greenwald piece on media transparency, but now intend to simply rant about the annoying god damned ads at Salon. Do these things actually work? Do people really click on the ads after they block the entire page? I just look for the little x and close area, and half the time I am so pissed off I just leave the website. I think I’m going to make a list of companies that use this type of ad and boycott them. Wankers.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Everybody saw this coming.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

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

Republicans do not trust women.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
