Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

A consequence of cucumbers

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

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

No. We are not related:

A Wayne Township volunteer firefighter is scheduled to appear Thursday in Mason Municipal Court on drunken driving and other charges after he was found wearing a woman’s blond wig and bikini in a public park.

Steven S. Cole, 46, Waynesville, was arrested about 5 p.m. Tuesday at Heritage Oak Park off U.S. 42 after Mason police received a report of an intoxicated man. Cole was charged with drunken driving, having an open container, public indecency and disorderly conduct.

Steven S. Cole is shown in a police photograph as he appeared when he was arrested in a public park.

Although I will say that I, too, have had some embarassing nights. But nothing quite like THAT.

*** Update ***

If this picture had a soundtrack, what song would it be?

    public indecency

    Hmmph. Blatant discrimination against pot-bellied male firefighters. (Semi-seriously, didn’t they think there were enough charges against him? As ludicrous as I find his get-up, I don’t think it’s indecent.)

    Tsulagi…ah, ok. At least there’s a reason for the indecent exposure, other than it being a fashion crime. Public masturbation…*sigh* Sure, screw it up for all the other firefighter/transvestites.

    SomeCallMeTim…yeah, definitely shouldn’t have chosen the bikini, and that shade of blonde is all wrong for the skin tone.

    Well, I should have mentioned that I grew up in San Francisco, so it might be that my standards for public decency are different from those in the heartland. And you’re right–I’d missed the part about his playing with himself in the park.

    You know, I didn’t read it closely at first and thought he was just drunk and disorderly, and felt bad for him. Who among us hasn’t done something collossaly stupid (but it seemed like such a GREAT idea at the time)? But that was before I scrolled back up and saw that one of the charges was drunken driving. Complete and utter public humiliation is no less than what he deserves.

    Here’s a sampling from the Lyrics:

    I feel pretty
    Oh so pretty
    I feel pretty and witty and gay
    And I pity
    Any girl who isn’t me today
    I feel charming
    Oh so charming
    It’s alarming how charming I feel
    And so pretty
    That I hardly can believe I’m real

    You ain’t the only one. Guys in banana hammocks are bad. Blubbery guys in skimpy swimwear are an argument for male burqa. Not that Mr. Cole seems to have much in his hammock. (Chalk that up to cold WVa nights?) But the stripes and the top framing the flab combine to make what would merely be laughable a non-stop shudderthon. I can’t decide if the fact he appears to have shaved his belly makes it better or worse. I also can’t look at the photo for more than five picoseconds without reaching for the bleach.

    But my suggestion would be Lola by The Kinks.
