Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Bark louder, little dog.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

He really is that stupid.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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
