Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

When we show up, we win.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

We still have time to mess this up!

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Hot as Hell

It is hot as hell with humidity approaching 200%, so now is a perfect time for my central air to break. I might be blogging from a laptop in front of the freezer by noon.

*** Update ***

Fixed. I love renting. I will eventually buy a house some day, but you can’t beat calling someone up, telling them something is broken, and going on about your life while someone else takes care of it.

    Ick. I suggest cold showers/baths, it’s the only way I survived in VA without AC.

    I so want to get back to my folks’ place in Beckley, the mountains have to be better than this.

    You don’t know hot. Try Phoenix in the summer with no AC. Mine broke twice last year. Once on a saturday and I had to wait until tuesday to get it fixed. Hell on earth.

    Same temp (88F) but higher humidity (57% right now) here, in Lancaster, PA. Storms might break it a little bit later today, but they’ll be widely scattered.

    Surely there must be some cool (in terms of temp and atmosphere) watering hole with free WiFi in a college burg like Morgantown.

    Kinda tacky, a weather site named after a terrorist group responsibile for bombings and murders.

    We homeowners have those sorts of people too — we call them “repairmen.”
