Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

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

A consequence of cucumbers

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

This really is a full service blog.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

When we show up, we win.

Everybody saw this coming.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

I really should read my own blog.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Site Re-Design

This post is in: Previous Site Maintenance

Just wanted to let you know that over the next few days, this site will be converted to WordPress, as well as receiving a facelift.

Thanks to a few generous people who have donated a LOT of time and energy with the design and the rebuild, as well as a few of you who threw close to a hundred bucks in the Amazon and Paypal tip jars, we will be moving to a whole new look and server.

I think the new site will be more readable, and will include the option for a fixed width center column (as it currently is) or one that scales. bear with me over the next few days, because I am sure there will be some problems.

The main goal was to keep the general look and feel of the site, while making it more readable (physicially, not substantively) and more stable. The most important feature was to retain the ability for you all to leave as many comments as possible, and I think WP will serve our needs well.

    I think you’re going to love WordPress. I know I have ever since I made the switch.

    You should look into installing the subscribe to comments system. Its relatively easy to do and is very nice for the commenters.

    to keep the general look and feel of the site

    You know, John, no one’s going to think you’re “gay” if you change your mind and decide to have an attractive site. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) You could just be a metrosexual.

    WordPress: the right solution.

    OF Jay helped me transition to mine. Good guy.

    Get ready for no rebuild time, comments that work, and no spam.

    Sweet.
