Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Republicans in disarray!

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

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

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

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

Guys- I am sorry for the lack of blogging. I am just swamped with end of the year stuff and unmotivated to blog, really. I need a few days off.

    Be well, John. We look forward to your return as an unrepentant shill for the Bush Administration, or, alternatively, a pawn for the deranged and shrill moonbats of the left. As you prefer.

    Enjoy the break. We’re behaving ourselves more or less.

    We’re all headed over to Stormy’s for barbecque later.

    Hopefully Stormy is not busy watching The People’s Court.

    So we’re finally hearing the *good news* about John feeling swamped and unmotivated.

    How come we never hear the good news about John’s insomnia?

    So Tim’s busy, and John’s pooped out. I think we’ll be suffering new-topic withdrawal for a few days, kids!

    How soon will it be that either Mr. Cole decides his lefty commentators are too upity and need some of his special brand of loving, or something pisses him off and he just feels compelled to write about it?

    I say we take a poll, but in taking the poll, we effectively modify the system that we are trying to observe, therefore changing its behavior.

    Never mind.

    Too highbrow.

    Here is what is on deck for tonight seeing as how I just got home from work:
    Des. Housewives (from last night)
    Surface (Sea monsters!)
    Las Vegas (utter trash, but pretty and shiny)
    CSI Miami (I like criminal violence in my TV shows)
    Medium (Work of the Devil! but still a very good show)
    Plus, I have four episodes of 24 that recorded this morning.
    This does not include the backlog of Criminal Minds, of which there are 6. Yes, I am slightly addicted to my DVR. What of it? I can quit anytime.

    Um, yeah…about the barbeque, bring buckets of beer.

    I already need a beer, if that is how the posting is going for me tonight.

    This does not include the backlog of Criminal Minds,

    If we were roommates (or a couple), we’d constantly be scrapping over what to watch. I don’t watch any of those. I watched D.Housewives last season, but just can’t seem to work up an interest in it this season.

    I vastly enjoy Tuesday night NBC (which I think is moving to Thursdays?) The Office, My Name is Earl, and Boston Legal. Round that out with the Sunday night toon-fest, and my viewing needs are satisfied. My only Monday night requirement is Corner Gas. (A Canadian show that’s actually funny!)

    The Office, My Name is Earl,

    I watch those, plus Amazing Race and Bones. Boreanz is haute!
    SVU will be rerun 10,000 times over the summer so I can skip it.
    I tried with Boston Legal, I really tried. It grew stale, and lord knows my standards are not that high. It really lost me.

    Nip Tuck is required viewing, of course.
