Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not all heroes wear capes.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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

Stay strong, because they are weak.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

In my day, never was longer.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

People are weird.

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

In after Baud. Damn.

Stand up, dammit!

    there’s also the minor detail that herpes is a virus, and so not a bacteria at all.

    but that won’t bother fox news.

    Unrelated: I expect imminent apologies from the League of Traitorous Republican Southern Senators to U.S. auto companies and the UAW:

    Honda, Mazda May Apply for Japanese Government Loans (Update1)

    By Makiko Kitamura and Tetsuya Komatsu | Bloomberg

    March 4 (Bloomberg) — Honda Motor Co., suffering from a 38 percent plunge in U.S. auto sales in February, may ask to borrow money from Japan’s government to lend to U.S. car buyers.

    The amount of the loans and timing of the request to the state-owned Japan Bank for International Cooperation haven’t yet been determined, spokeswoman Akemi Ando said by phone today. Mazda Motor Corp. is also considering a request for government loans, spokesman Toyota Tanaka said today.

    Honda and Mazda would follow Toyota Motor Corp., Japan’s biggest carmaker, in seeking loans from the government as the global recession hammers auto demand. U.S. auto sales in February slid to the lowest rate since December 1981, led by a 53 percent plunge for General Motors Corp.

    “Things look pretty grim at present,” said Edwin Merner, president of Atlantis Investment Research Corp. in Tokyo, which manages $3.1 billion. “By the end of the year, the year-on-year figures should start improving unless the world economy gets much worse.”

    Free market! Damn UAW! $70/hr! Inefficient! Welfare! Socialism!

    My turn to say what everybody says in these situations.

    Why is the most responsible journalism — you know, with fact checking and such — coming from Comedy Central?

    Keep this segment in mind whenever you see any reporting on Fox News:

    Man, I wish it was just Fox. The entire news media went into a feeding frenzy on this. Fox’n’Friends just managed to win the title of Biggest Asshat in the Asshat Parade.

    Now the RSSF battle plan makes sense. They’re counting on their balls bacteria covertly taking out the targets. That’s the hidden genius.

    Welcome to Fox News, where we hire a busty doctor to tell people not to eat stuff that hit the floor.

    Why are these people so opposed to the quote unquote nanny state? They really look like they could benefit from it.

    Because reality has surpassed parody.

    Beer Pong seems to require a very elaborate setup for a drinking game.

    Whatever happened to good old-fashioned Quarters?

    The real message that Fox should have been promoting would be to make sure that the beer is IPA. It has more hops in it, which kills the bacteria on the ball.

    Oh, yes, almost forgot. What the f!ck?

    Now don’t confuse this sexually transmitted disease with herpes simplex 1. Herpes simplex 1 are facial cold sores!!

    The strain of herpes complex type 2 (HVP) is a sexually transmitted disease of the genitals, and is transmitted by direct skin contact.

    Hmmm, I thought this was common knowledge. Obviously not.
