Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

This chaos was totally avoidable.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

He really is that stupid.

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

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

The lights are all blinking red.

CBS Makes the Move

And broadcast and broadband edge ever closer:

Yahoo Inc. is streaming this week CBS comedies “Two And A Half Men” and “How I Met Your Mother,” the latest example of the merger of TV and the Internet.

Yahoo on Monday started offering two episodes from each show. The shows will be available for a week, and mark the first time the Web portal has streamed a CBS show in its entirety.

Both shows, which air on TV Monday nights, are being streamed without commercials. “How I Met Your Mother” stars Josh Radnor, Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders, Jason Segal and Neil Patrick Harris. “Two And A Half Men” stars Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.

The Yahoo move follows the movement of TV shows to the Web. America Online Inc., a unit of Time Warner Inc., plans to launch early next year an online TV network that will stream classic TV shows, such as “Welcome Back Kotter,” “Growing Pains,” and “Chico And The Man.” The showings are the result of a partnership with Warner Bros.

I can’t even imagine what things are going to be like ten years from now.

    If you want to get really dated, the first episode of “South Park” was originally just animation two guys made up in their basement with construction paper that got posted on the Comedy Central web page.

    Ah “Santa vs. Jesus”. Classic.

    Without commercials? WTF? Oh, this is such a trial balloon. Dear networks, now all you have to do is start airing *quality programming*…

    How I Met Your Mother is quite good, thanks mostly to Alyson Hannigan, Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel.

    Actually, that’s not how it happened. The two were hired to make a video Xmas card for a Hollywood producer. They came up with “The Spirit of Christmas” (which I still have on my computer). It got circulated around, ended up on the Internet, got fans from the Gen X crowd. Comedy Central then hired them to create “South Park.”
