Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

T R E 4 5 O N

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

He really is that stupid.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

The words do not have to be perfect.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

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

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Let there be snark.

I don’t know if anyone

I don’t know if anyone listens to Public Radio anymore, as they are so damned biased politically, but I for one am a reasl fan of several programs they do.

My favorite has to be Mountainstage, which is always great. If you have never watched/listened, I would recommend it. Today while driving I listened to a repeat jazz special, with Los Hombres Caliente and Kenny Rankin and many more. Good Stuff.

I kinda like Garrison Keillor and the Prairie Home Companion, even if he is a pretentious jackass politically. I like the skits and the stories, and I like the old timey radio feeling with the sound effects. Radio was my first love as a kid (got my broadcasting license from the FCC at 14), so maybe that explains it.

Car Talk is great, too, as well as Whad’ya Know. The Infinite Mind is fascinating, too. And their jazz programs are cool, and I like that Austrian sounding fellow who plays the classical music in between guttural orations every morning starting at nine. In fact, the only time I listen to anything other than NPR is when they are doing their perverted version of the ‘news,’ and when Rush is on.

In fact, overall, they put out an incredible product that I use a lot. Soooo. Two quick questions/comments:

1.) Why not charge me for this product, or have advertising like every other radio station? I certainly think you have a superior product a great deal of the time, so get some advertisers and quit living on the federal dollar.

2.) Watch how fast the news coverage changes if they are forced to solicit advertisers.

I guess my second comment answered my first.
