Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Let’s finish the job.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

In after Baud. Damn.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

Let there be snark.

Xbox and Ice Cream

The new Xbox was officially unveiled. Damn shit yeah!

Also, I was chatting on the phone with a friend last night while gorging on Turkey Hill Choco Mint Chip ice cream, and he had never heard of Turkey Hill.

How can this be? Turkey Hill is the best damned ice cream in the world, and I won’t budge. Is this a regional product, and there are poor folks all over the United States who have never had Turkey Hill? Damned tragedy if that is the case. Love that Pennsylvania Dutch country. But then again, there are probably a lot of people who have never tasted the wonders of fried scrapple with eggs over easy, waffles, syrup and hot sauce.

FYI- If you ever watch the Sopranos, check out the label on the ice cream Tony eats. And if Choco Mint Chip isn’t your thing, I highly recommend the Orange Cream Swirl, Strawberries and Cream, and the Sweet Cherry Vanilla.

Speaking of strawberries, I bought some from Georgia and from California on the side of the road the other day, and they were unbelievable. I ate a whole container for lunch. I couldn’t stop.

    Sorry I never heard of it. For ice cream I am a Ben & Jerry’s fan for the exotic tastes. Godfather, Cherry Garcia and Pistacio Pistacio are the top 3. For straight chocolate, vanilla or strawberry Haagen Daas takes it.

    Blue Bell is the ice cream of choice in Texas. Any flavor with caramel in it will be consumed in copious quantities. Sigh. I don’t eat ice cream anymore. I’ve never heard of Turkey Hill, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled in the grocery store.

    I’ve never heard of Turkey Hill either. Sounds like a cheap booze.

    I have lived for significant periods in Florida, California, and Washington (state), and I have never heard of Turkey Hill ice cream. However, I have heard of scrapple. My parents grew up in Philadelphia, and my father is a scrapple fiend. I enjoyed it too, until I found out of what it is made.

    As far as best ice cream, Godiva Chocolate Raspberry Truffle ice cream. It’s also guilt-free, since it is owned by Campbell’s Soup (mmm mmm good).

    We have Turkey Hill here in Maryland too. I think it’s a Mid-Atlantic thing. I usually go for Green’s though.

    Mmmm. Scrapple. Fried and crumbled over a hot onion and cheese omlette, with buttered hominy on the side. Delicious.

    Back when I could eat ice cream, I ate Breyer’s. Turkey Hill’s not something I’m familiar with, and I grew up in Chicago, so it hadn’t even gottent that far.

    I have not only heard of Turkey Hill, I also toured the Turkey Hill plant near Lancaster, PA and drove by it on the way to the mall a lot. Born and bred in PA Dutch Country. Brings back memories of childhood. By the way, that area is one of the snack capitals of the country too. Utz, Snyders, Bon Ton, Hanover, pretzlels, chips,etc.

    Turkey Hill hasn’t made it to Georgia yet, as far as I can tell. I can assure you, though, that even if it does I won’t be having it as long as Mayfield is still in business. Mayfield is the Best! Ice cream! Evar!
