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.

No one could have predicted…

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

This fight is for everything.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

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

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Books are my comfort food!

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

All hail the time of the bunny!

In after Baud. Damn.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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.
