Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

After roe, women are no longer free.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

    Apparently the cute blonde is gone and Jason Alexander is in. We’ll have to see how that works out.

    This is one of the few shows that me and the missus agree on and watch together. We’re looking forward to tonight.

    Hey, John, I’ve interviewed Joss Whedon, and Bitty Schram (Sharona on
    Monk back at the beginning) is a friend of a friend. What kind of cool points do those tidbits score me? Because in my circle of friends, they aren’t worth bupkis.

    By the way, what do you rank as your favorite Monk episode? I found the one with Monk’s brother, Ambrose (portrayed absolutely brilliantly by John Turturro), to be rather touching in addition to the usual dose of entertainment.

    Without question, from Season #2- Mr. Monk and the Paperboy.

    I love his neighbor:

    I have the eggplant…

    The only episode I’ve seen is the one where a teacher commits suicide. The goofball from Weekend at Bernie’s was in it. The scene where he makes sure the coffee level is even in the two pots is hilarious. Its on Universal HD everyday in reruns.

    Monk is a pretty good show, but let’s not pretend it’s in the same universe as Buffy.

    Thanks for the reminder, I set my DVR. Monk is a great show, and John Turturro was a fave. I do miss Sharona, though.

    I feel bad that I don’t miss Bitty Schram more.
