Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

This really is a full service blog.

Second rate reporter says what?

Come on, man.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

No one could have predicted…

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Razer Diamondback

I just plugged in my new Razer Diamondback, and I have to say, I don’t like it near as much as my old Boomslang. It is too small and too light.

Fortunately, I just found a couple Boomslang’s on EBAY that I am buying. 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.
