Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

I really should read my own blog.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

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

We’re not going back!

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

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.”
