Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

The words do not have to be perfect.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

So many bastards, so little time.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

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

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

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

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

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

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

No Justins, No Peace

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

This is going to be disastrous:

It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie almost- a large, powerful, and uncontrollable mass is about to swallow Jamaica, and, perhaps, Cuba, whole.

And I am not talking about Michael Moore.

    Question I pose to those who pay better attention than I:

    Am I incorrect in assuming every cane that brews in the Atlantic becomes at least a Cat 4 nowadays? Since 2004, it seems like nearly every one achieved Cat 4 or more, at least for some time. It hasn’t always been this way, right?

    So what’s different?

    It is getting to that point, yes. The minute the storm hits the warm gulf waters, it explodes in power. I was at the gulf this summer and that water is incredibly warm. It is still projected more towards Mexico though if I remember correctly.

    Maybe I spent too much of my life during the Cold War but I thought that the “large, powerful, and uncontrollable mass” was Cuba.

    Hey, while we’re looking for examples of politics that we can criminalize, does anyone know if there’s also a Hurricane Howard later this year? I wouldn’t put it past Rev. Robertson and his friends to arrange that there be two catastrophic hurricanes called Howard and Dean — screaming winds and all.

    If it hits Cuba, please let it completely and utterly destroy Guantanamo as a demonstration of God’s displeasure.

    C’mon, thats offensive to Michael Moore.

    He could consume Jamaica. Or Cuba. But not both at the same sitting!

    Rushbo has been snickering about the relatively few hurricanes this season as proof of the “global warming hoax”. After Dean hits, he will switch to “liberals are exploiting this tragedy”.

    Actually according to the NOAA statistics and my rudimentary mathemetical skills, since 2004 to current, of the 56 named storms, only 9 have become category 4 hurricanes or higher. So yes, you would be incorrect.

    2004 and 2005 were indeed very active hurricane seasons. In 2004 there were 15 named storms, 9 became hurricanes and 4 of those were category 4 or higher at some point. In 2005 there were 27 named storms of which 15 stregthened to hurricane status. Four of those were category 4 or higher, including Katrina which was actually downgraded to category 3 before it made landfall.

    2006 only had 9 named storms of which 5 acheived hurricane status and none reached category 4 strength.

    This year to date, there have been 5 named storms. Dean is the first of these five to reach hurricane status and is likely acheive category five strength within the next 24 hours.

    Let the truth set you free, Punchy!

    Bad as these things can get, the Weather Channel routinely oversells them.

    I am still waiting for Kohotek (sp?) the comet. Can I come out now?
