Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

People are complicated. Love is not.

This blog will pay for itself.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

He really is that stupid.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

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

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

In my day, never was longer.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Let there be snark.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

If you haven’t already, check out this month’s Wired magazine, which has two fun stories, one about milbloggers by one of my favorite reporters, John Hockenberry (who is great on NPR’s The Infinite Mind), and this piece on how much the internet has changed things over the past ten years. The story about Banksy is worth a read, as well.

    From Wired:

    Since each of its “transistors” is itself a personal computer with a billion transistors running lower functions, the Machine is fractal. In total, it harnesses a quintillion transistors, expanding its complexity beyond that of a biological brain. It has already surpassed the 20-petahertz threshold for potential intelligence as calculated by Ray Kurzweil. For this reason some researchers pursuing artificial intelligence have switched their bets to the Net as the computer most likely to think first.

    So that’s why Skynet eradicates the human race – it woke up and found itself surrounded by cheesy porn, popup ads, leet kids, and gasbag bloggers. (Present company excluded of course.)

    Hockenberry was on the Daily Show this week. Sounded like a sharp guy.

    Link: Balloon Juice. Thanks to John for pointing out this article in Wired. I will always remember John Hockenberry’s fabulous overnight radio show on NPR during the late 80s. I loved the show, and I still think it was some of the best radio I have ev…
