Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The willow is too close to the house.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Naturally gregarious and alpha

Wetsuit optional.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

This fight is for everything.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

This really is a full service blog.

Good luck with your asparagus.

Saul Alinsky is my co-pilot.

Reality always wins in the end.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

People are complicated. Love is not.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

It’s not even safe to go out and pick up 2 days worth of poop anymore.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The revolution will be supervised.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

I personally stopped the public option…

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Thursday Morning Open Thread: Another Op’nin, Another (Klown) Show

by Anne Laurie|  March 3, 20166:03 am| 105 Comments

This post is in: Election 2016, Open Threads, Repubs in Disarray!, Assholes

A Cruz-Rubio tickets makes the most sense right now. Pair up, announce the deal, let Rubio win Florida, get to convention and make it so.

I enjoy homoerotic fan fiction as much as the next guy, but this requires too much suspension of disbelief. https://t.co/2MSIjFBS7I

Only four on stage for tonight’s GOP debate — Dr. Carson has decided against attending, despite (or because) it’s being held in his hometown, Detroit. Another Fox News special, hyped as the rematch between Donald ‘The Douchenozzle’ Trump and Megyn ‘Blood Coming Out of Her Wherever’ Kelly.

I’d actually watch, if I thought there was a chance Chris Christie would show up as a stand-in for his new man-crush, prepared to once again body-slam Little Marco into sweaty submission…

Apart from crappy theatricals, what’s on the agenda for the day?

— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) March 2, 2016

This tweet has been bouncing around the ‘tubes, but since it’s Dinesh D’Souza, who knows whether “marrying” is a verb that applies to the present or the indefinite future? Wikipedia links to a wingnut-welfare-sponsored YouTube clip of D’Souza’s marriage proposal to Deborah Fancher, “conservative political activist and mother of two”, so at least she should have a pretty good idea of what she’s signing up for. Note, this is not the young groupie blogger for whose charms D’Souza divorced his first wife and ended his career with King’s College; perhaps Ms. Joseph failed to sever ties with her existing husband, or maybe she didn’t care to marry a convicted felon?
