Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

A consequence of cucumbers

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Let’s finish the job.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

We’re not going back!

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

    Why does it always seem that they are discontinuing every product I enjoy?

    Same here. I’ve recently lost my favorite cereal (Crunchy Corn Bran) and hair product (Joico’s Con-text molding putty).

    Why am I having visions of George Clooney and his obsession with Dapper Dan Pomade?

    But on the technology front… I guess I haven’t worried that much about a mouse for quite some time. I used to play a game called netrek, which was originally X11 based and relied upon a 3rd button. One for phasers, one for torps, and the other for steering. (it was a 2D game, steer with mouse, select speed with keyboard)

    But I long since gave up that. Now I mostly play 3D shooters, RTCW, CoD, BFV, and lately BF2.

    I have a Microsoft Wireless Optical desktop Elite, or whatever it’s called. It’s an Intellimouse and a wireless keyboard. I don’t notice any reaction time issues, except if cat hair gets into the area with the optics and then I yell “OMG! NOO!!!!” Also, occasionally Microsoft nicely tells me that my signal is low, blah blah blah. even after new batteries.

    And it’s not that I completely suck. I’m better than average.

    I did decide last week that I need to upgrade my 5900XT card to a 6600GT. That seems to be the top end card you can get on the AGP bus. Maybe in a year or two I’ll upgrade to PCI-Express.

    Wow, the Boomslang is a high end gamer mouse, John. What do you need it for? When I’m fighting on Battlefield Vietnam sometimes, I use my regular Logitech OEM laser mouse for 12€. A high tech mouse wouldn’t help much, because my reactions are the problem, not the mouse response or resolution :(

    So, you’re a regular highscorer on one of those first person shooters? Which is it?

    As much as I loved my old Boomslang, I just couldn’t stand using a mouse with a ball after trying an LED or laser mouse. The Diamondback is a fair substitute for the Boomslang, but I wish they’d kept the old styling. The four extra buttons on the sides are practically useless.
