Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Saul Alinsky is my co-pilot.

We still have time to mess this up!

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

I can’t take this shit today. I just can’t.

Four legs? good! two legs? we’re not so sure…

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

I’m only here for the duck photos.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

There’s some extremely good trouble headed their way.

Just a few bad apples.

I’m going back to the respite thread.

This blog will pay for itself.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Screw the Judean People’s Front. Splitters.

The house always wins.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Verified, but limited!

… down to kool-aid drinkers and next of kin at the trump White House

Not all heroes wear capes.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Shelter in place is one thing. Shelter in pants is quite another.

In an attempt to prove

In an attempt to prove that guest letter writers can be as idiotic as regular columnists (insert your Ted Rall, Jacob Weisberg or columnist of your choice link here), a WaPo reader states that:

At this time, when disagreeing with the foreign policy of our country is akin to treason, maybe we should take a moment to look at what we do to cause our own internal fanatics, if only to understand what we can do to help prevent future foreign fanatics from attacking our shores.

Let’s see, one sentence indirectly covers non-existent civil rights erosion hysteria post 9/11, touches on the ‘blame America’ theme, and cries out to examine ‘root causes.’ Folks- this is a left-wing trifecta!

The whole letter is here, although it probably should have been sent here.

Triple Yawn.
