Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

No Justins, No Peace

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

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

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

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

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

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

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

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

Someone mentioned WKRP in one of our earlier threads, so I am forced to provide the greatest WKRP clip ever:

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

    One of those shows that, after I did radio on a small level for a decade, rings truer with time.

    First thing I was reminded of while watching the clip. That was a good show.

    Great clip, John…I LOVED WKRP, wish there was something as good on the telly these days.

    Bailey v. Jennifer…Bailey, without a shadow of a doubt.

    Mary Anne over Ginger, too – no question.

    I think Gilligan & the Skipper were just a little too “Little Buddy – Big Buddy”, if ya’ know what I mean…not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you.

    They’re hitting the ground like bags of wet cement!!

    That and the Barney Miller hash brownies episode are tied for my all-time personal favorite.

    Ah, the ’70s.

    Ohhh, the HUMANITY!!!!

    Bailey was infinitely sexier than whatsername. I can’t even imagine anyone (except Burt Reynolds) finding whatsername more attractive.

    Shepherd Book from Firefly was on that show right?

    The funniest moment in network series television ever. Loved the Les Nessman takeoff on the broadcast of the Hindenberg disaster.

    WKRP was the only network television show I ever watched with a box of Kleenex handy. Most of the time, I laughed so hard tears were running down my face.

    I hear there’s a CD collection coming out, but because of copyright and royalty problems, the original rock soundtrack is missing and generic stuff has been substituted. Too bad.

    That was a great ep of WKRP, but my favorite scene was when Johnny Fever and Venus were on the air in a drinking contest whereby a doctor measured their blood alcohol & had them try a driving simulator.

    Yes, Bailey was a hottie.

    I remember watching WKRP in syndication as a child and I had fond memories of it. By odd coincidence, I was sent a copy of Season One on DVD to review for my blog and surprisingly, the show aged very, very well.

    “I don’t know how to describe it. It was like the turkeys were mounting a counterattack.”

    Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

    Bailey was hotter than the cores of a thousand suns.
