Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

The willow is too close to the house.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Let’s finish the job.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson: the bland and smiling face of evil.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

This fight is for everything.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Fabulous News on the Environment

This is wunderbar:

The computer system used by the Environmental Protection Agency to track and control water pollution is obsolete, full of faulty data and does not take into account thousands of significant pollution sources, according to a new government report.

Efforts to modernize the program have been mismanaged for several years, said the report, issued last week by the E.P.A.’s inspector general. While the cost to fix the problem has been soaring, the amount of money dedicated to the project has been shrinking. The new system was supposed to come online this month, but because of its many problems it will be at least three years before the agency and the states can properly manage the enormous system of permits that is the basic tool for enforcing the Clean Water Act.

How long before this is Bush’s fault? At any rate, faulty equipment means we have been under-estimating or over-estimating threats for years now- essentially, this report makes it appear as if we have been flying blind. Not good.

    The great thing about environmental disasters is that they are a self-correcting phenomenon. If one metric gets a tenth of a percent out of whack beyond the buffer capacity of the environment, the “problem species” (homo sapiens) dies off to the point where it stops causing the problem, the environment self-corrects, and then we can all go back to 70 MPH on the freeways. So what if a few monitoring computers are out of date… all the quicker that the self-correction will come.
