Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The revolution will be supervised.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Bark louder, little dog.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

    Oh, so this isn’t Cute Overload? Bummer.

    Krista sorta beat me to it, but I was going to note that Mr. Floofersons (????) (no, seriously, who does that?) and Chancellor Merkle have the same facial expressions…

    If the President were to stuff Mister Floofersons into his mouth and eat him, how long do you think it would take talk radio to applaud the President’s actions? How long until Mister Floofersons would be declared a terrorist? How long until Arlen Specter retroactively adds an addendum to animal cruelty legislation to protect the Executive Branch from prosecution in the event they devour a kitten for national security purposes?

    Since everyone here is an expert on everything, and it’s an open thread, soliciting advice for:

    1) Backpacking trip in Idaho, have 5-6 days. Nothing too vertical. Looking mostly at Frank Church, trails like Indian Creek, Centennial, etc.

    2) Rafting cost/permits are out of the question this year, but are there rivers/lakes/sections I could day-paddle?

    3) Any must-sees in the state?

    Well, if the retard mistook Mister Flooferson for a dinner roll, and some were appalled, you can be certain the manly, bold, testosterone-packed action figure of the Republicans would put it in proper perspective. Annie’s adams apple would just be a warp-speed blur while shrieking “I’ve never seen so many widowed cat lovers happy the president ate the cat!!”

    Such a study has already been performed…

    Awwww, that look’s like FluffyNoseAndToes or Nummy Muffin Butter. Awww, so cute. Ooops, I’m gonna hurl.

    Ralph Reed lost in the primary for Lt. Gov of Georgia.

    Turns out the rest of the religious right ain’t no different than Jim and Tammy Baker. It’s all about the benjamins to them. The big house, the big car, and the trips to Paris.

    Nummy Muffin Butter

    That’s even better than my calling my kitty “furry purry”! ‘fes up, Richard–you’ve used this phrase before, haven’t you? And no doubt worse…

    Forget whether Bush is on something – I fear someone has spiked the punch bowl here at Balloon Juice.

    “Mister Floofersons”?
    “Nummy Muffin Butter”?

    It’s a sad state of affairs when a link to the world’s largest styrofoam potato is the most mainstream posting. And that potato is way cool.

    “Trumpy! You can do stupid things!”

    “I just stepped in some Trumpy-dumpy.”

    “Trumpy, we hardly knew ye.”

    “It stinks!”

    Pod People just played back in my mind in a blurred rush.

    I hereby name that kitten Fluffykins. After my late kitty Fluffykins. ** sniffle **

    FluffyNoseAndToes? Nummy Muffin Butter? Fluffykins?

    Richard, I’m concerned about you. Have you been drinking peach schnaaps again?

  25. 25.

    Richard 23

    Yes, but at least I didn’t come up with “purry furry.” Now that’s just going beyond the pale. Little Kitten Kuddles and Kitten Kaboodle is one thing but “purry furry?” Ew yucky poo.

    Now back away from the peach schnapps.

    Oh and “rosebud” was the name of my girlfriend’s, er, uh, never mind. Then I woke up and knocked over the snowglobe.

    Sometimes I wonder what’s going on with me. Then I realize at least I’m not Senator Darrell and rejoice!

    Krista

    Thanks for correcting the spelling on peach schnapps. I never drink the stuff, so forgot how to spell it.

    I suppose I shouldn’t make fun, though. Lord knows I have enough cutesy nicknames for my dog.

  28. 28.

    Richard 23

    Just don’t call him/her Senator Darrell or Jeff “Cockslap” Goldstein, Krista. Mr Woofies or Sir Barks-a-Lot would suffice.

    Hey, wait! What cutesy names do you call Barkie Boy anyway?

  29. 29.

    Krista

    There are too many to completely list, and some names get used much more often than others. And I would never call him after Darrell or Jeff Goldstein (well, except maybe for when he’s licking himself incessantly…)
