Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

He really is that stupid.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

I really should read my own blog.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

Republicans in disarray!

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

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

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

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

The lights are all blinking red.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

This Is Fascinating

Via the Huffington Post, we see a picture of King Tut:

Fascinating. When did he find time to star in The Crying Game?

And (by reader request) Stargate?

    Maybe they’re on to something over there — he also found time to star in the Stargate movie as Ra.

    Ha! The first thing I thought of was Stargate as well.

    Then I though maybe it was a picture of a very tan Jeff Gannon on one of his Whitehouse “sleepovers”.

    I think he looks a little like Michael Jackson (pre-surgery, obviously).

    I think the HP snatched the pic from Drudge without accreditation.

    Very bad bloggy manners if I’m right.

    Oh, I didn’t realize drudge took the picture. I was under the impression he lifted if from the WashPost site himself.

    His upper lip looks like it’s been botoxed. I guess Hollywood is using the “Ancient Egyptian Secret”.

    Gatchaman,

    A little HT would’ve been so hard?

    You don’t HT the WaPo because you link to it so that would be superfluous.

    I wonder what the “Egyptians were black” folks over in Berkeley will have to say about this.
    The American team was working off a plastic copy of the skull and knew nothing about it, yet correctly identified it as “North African Caucasoid,” and their reconstruction was nearly identical to the French team’s work (who did know they were working on Tut).
    I note the Egyptian team gave him a more prominent, hooked nose…probably because they don’t want to deal with the idea the ancient Egyptians weren’t Arabic any more than they were black.

    Aw, man, I’ve not yet seen The Crying Game, and now you’ve ruined it!

    Well, actually, Jim Abrahams ruined it for me first, but he doesn’t have a blog.

    Well, I’m pretty sure Cleopatra didn’t wear SPF-50 suncreen or have “violet eyes to die for.”

    As for King Tut, I was thinking an early 80s Boy George devoid of costume, but with eye makeup in tact.

    My husband said he looked like one of the Baldwin brothers. I am fishing through his internet activity to see if I should be worried.

    You’d probably be wrong, Norbizness. Cleopatra was purportedly quite pale, and bathed in milk(asses milk, I believe) to maintain that paleness. She’d probably opt for SPF 100.

    She was also quite Greek looking, as befits one of Greek descent. Her portrait is on several coins.
