Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

The lights are all blinking red.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

Changes in process. If things seem screwy, bear with us.

*** Updates ***

Change #1- Look to the right. If you want links to open in a new browser window, click the box. Otherwise, don’t, I guess.

Change #2- Comments now have a toolbar, including bold, italics, hyperlinking, etc. Please report any problems.

Change #3- Blockquotes are now indented, the background is lighter, and the font of blockquotes is 1pt smaller.

    The Dictionary button looks up “null” if you click cancel on the dialogue box. Other than that, looks good.

    You should put a disclaimer up telling people not to open this thread if they have been drinking Scotch. I’d hate for Stormy to think she may have a problem.

    Great. You deleted the comments that gave my comment context.

    The posting routine does not work for me, no matter which browser I use. I’m a WinXP SP2 user, if anyone is keeping score.

    The behavior is not new, though. It’s been there for quite a long time.

    ppgaz,

    Ya, I expect I’ll be working on that at some point, but as long as comments can get posted, it’s a lower-order priority.

    Sounds good! I’ll stop complaining. About this, I mean.

    Use Firefox. When I post, it states that the post was disallowed, as a control measure to contain multiple posting in the heat of the moment… anti-flaming as it were. It says to wait, then retry later. Which I have done. To no avail. I gave up a couple of times. Unable to post.

    Or so I thought. Now I see that those posts I thought were not posted, were actually posted, some of them two or more times, as I tried to post them a few times, (Wiating, as instructed. ) but kept getting the “your comment was not posted” notice, try again in a little while” notice.

    Just letting you know.

    The post above was submitted once, got a 404. Went back, hit post again and got the following notice:

    Comment Submission Error
    Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:

    In an effort to curb malicious comment posting by abusive users, I’ve enabled a feature that requires a weblog commenter to wait a short amount of time before being able to post again. Please try to post your comment again in a short while. Thanks for your patience.

    Please correct the error in the form below, then press POST to post your comment.

    And, it appears twice.

    Been at the company picnic, hot as hell, and no beer!
    Scotch drinking will commence shortly.
    This concludes my posting test.

    I would like to see the font of blockquotes the same size as the rest of the text.

    I find it hard to read.

    I think your comment count is way up because of the larger font. Its my theory anyway
