Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

In after Baud. Damn.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Food for Thought

As part of a series of lifestyle changes that I am undertaking to add to assist my healthy and longevity, I am finally breaking down and visiting a dietician/nutritionist. At any rate, whenever I discuss diets/dieting with my mother, she invariably mentions her favorite diet of all times, one that one of her co-workers always uses.

The diet? To eat only foods he doesn’t like. Works like a charm for him, and the lbs shed off. My problem is that other than Stuffed Peppers and Liver and ONions, there are no foods I dislike. I like everything.

At any rate, point ofthis post- What foods can you not tolerate?

    I find even the smell, nay, the SIGHT, of string beans to be utterly repulsive. Abomination!

    An old but excellent book: “The Doctor’s Quick Weight Loss Diet.”

    It has great, simple background information. Clear, concise, practical tips along with what they do and why they’re effective.

    If most of the info is adopted, it’s sane, comfortable and workable

    Hmmm. Fried scorpion comes to mind. And some of the other dishes here.

    Brussel sprouts and beef liver. But I would probably eat them if I were hungry enough.

    Stewed (not battered and fried) okra.

    Anything Thai (can’t do peanuts. Period) and Brussels sprouts. Don’t do sweet potatoes, either.

    Grilled liver & onions? Yum!

    Beets… I don’t like anything about them – The way they look their smell, or most importantly their taste.

    how about the way they mess with your digestion? You’ll always know if you ate beets yesterday!

    Anything with mayonnaise, unless it’s used as an egg/oil substitute in baking. I’ve had cakes made with it that were just fine. Other than that, I agree with Calvin that it’s “White Death.”

    And cold soups, too. That’s just wrong.

    Beets & Brussel Sprouts. Everything else is fair game.

    Turkey breast. Not the deli stuff, but the cottonball-dry stuff that 99% of turkey breast will turn out to be when baked. Simply foul (heh).

    Gosh, I love most of the stuff y’all listed. Brussel Sprouts… mmmmm.

    Liver does make me a little queasy. I guess gizzards are pretty gross. And I really don’t like hard boiled eggs… I guess my cat’s canned food makes me heave sometimes, ‘specially if I have a little hangover on. But until I’m living on social security, I won’t have to worry about eating that.

    Eggplant. Its texture is like snot. Which is a little strange, because I don’t mind raw tomatoes at all. But eggplant is disgusting.

    DJ- You aren’t cooking your turkeys right, then. The key to moist breasts is to bake the turkey upside down for half the cooking time.

    If it ain’t pizza, forget it!

    Seriously, after the nasty experience of taking a slew of bones in my tongue and cheeks with my first taste of fish as a kid, I can’t stand the stuff today: no kind of sea food. Y’all may have mine any time.
