Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

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

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

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

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

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

The lights are all blinking red.

Please don’t feed the bears.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

No Justins, No Peace

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Alrighty- I downloaded and installed Google Earth, and it is, hands down, the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Unbelievable.

    It’s not often that I curse myself for being a Mac jihadist, but this is one of those days.

    i checked this google world thing out this morning – i have never got gooseflesh from software before. frankly, it scared me. i’ve had dreams where i could bounce up into the clouds and back down, and the interface re-creates this impression in a way i never thought i would see in my lifetime.

    i think that’s my car parked outside my place in one photo.

    that’s just spooky.

    god knows what the nuts who run this country can actually see.

    I love how Google understands word of mouth these days on the internet. They release the coolest fucking thing ever and there’s hardly a blip about it from Google. There’s not even a mention of it on the main page, and there probably never will be.

    Mac version is out soon, they say. I might install it on other people’s work computers tomorrow in the meantime.

    Pan over some mountains and hills. It’s 3D ! It’s just like flying over from 5,000 feet (except for that kid kicking the back of your seat).

    You can get the overhead pictures from Google maps as well. Great stuff.
