Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

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

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Cole is on a roll !

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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.”
