Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

T R E 4 5 O N

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

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

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Infrastructure week. at last.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

I looked at what I wrote this morning alone, and because of the layout, it scrolls forever. I am going to try to start using the extended entry bit. Tell me if that works out ok for you all…

*** Update ***

I just did the dumbest damn thing ever.

*** Update ***

OK. No more extended entries. It is a pain in the ass for me and for everyone else.

    You deleted some posts, didn’t you? Gawd, I hate it when that happens.

    Got backup?

    I nearly killed myself posting all that stuff this morning. Now noone will know of my posting genius. Fascist!

    John – it is probably a good thing that those posts were “disappeared”, since it was early in the morning. Plus, I have family coming in and a trip to New Mexico to get ready for. I don’t have time to straighten all you people out. LOL. See you next week, try not to burn the blog down.

    Yeah- well, this was *special* for even me.

    I had MT Blacklist open in one window to delete trackback spams in between good trackbacks and another MT open to condense all my posts under extended entries. Meanwhile, I was on the phone arguing with the Parking Ticket office, and I must have crossed wires, because I went through and checked the delete boxes next to the posts I wanted to edit rather than the trackback spams in the other window, and in my infifinte wisdom, deleted a number of posts.

    I really dont even know how many.. 7-10, I would guess, and 200 or so comments.

    This is up there for even me.

    Personally, I don’t care for the extended entry stuff and have no qualms about scrolling down further.

    btw, john, did you know the comments to the fetal stomp story are down?

    Message:

    An error occurred:

    Invalid entry ID ‘5331’

    Did you notice that the entire fetal stomp story is not there? And the piece on the White House jiggering environmental data? And a LONG piece on Governor Manchin?

    And I can’t remember what else…

    I believe it was Sartre who said:

    “D’oh!”

    Keep the scrolling. Don’t use extended entry. Please.

    I’d note that I quite liked the Manchin piece, but that would just get me another nose-meet-keester slap from the site’s PC police.

    Forget I said it.

    Extended okay, scrolling better. It’s an opinion. (Another nod to the PC police.)
