Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The lights are all blinking red.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

This fight is for everything.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

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

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Let there be snark.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I was promised a recession.

We still have time to mess this up!

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

The revolution will be supervised.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Jesus & DinoMy guess is that most of the people who go there, do so just to laugh at it. But hey! Money’s money! My favorite comments from the Fark threads today:

warbond: To actually believe that every living thing came from the same point of origin is beyond delusional.

Dorf11: You mean like “God did it”?

Yabba-Dabba-Doo!

    The pic is in the Fark thread, as is this piece of awesome along with this great bit of funning. As for this brilliant graph, I heartily endorse placing it in any blog posting where wingnuts are crying about “the oppressed Christians.”

    As I said when I first heard about this museum, I would love to go to it, preferably in some sort of intoxicated state (it’d be like a fundies-are-stupid version of a Pink Floyd laser light show), but only if I could go without paying.

    Wait isn’t that the scene out of Carnosaur where the baby dino looks all cute and stuff in Jesus’ arms but then turns and eats him?

    I myself prefer adult preaching Carnosaur to Baby Carnosaur.

    Some of the reviews linked off the main page are hilarious. There have to be some spoofs there, right? A few samples, ordered by entertainment value, apparently from different writers:

    “Answers in Genesis” is an indespensable [sic] asset to both my students as well as my family.

    I use [sic] to be an atheist, and became a geologist in part because of that. When I converted powerfully [sic] the [sic] Christianity, I began the long mental battle of assessing what I thought I knew, not as an ‘layman’ but as a scientist myself.

    To exclude creationists as teachers and scientists would exclude the founding scientists of most of the existing scientific disciplines. [ed: Not to mention that most of those guys are dead by now.]

    I’m a creationist teacher. Well, I have taken a new job as a grade six home room teacher. [ed: My favorite]

    Silly Evanjellycals, all this time you were thinking you’d be swept up in the glorious Rapture.

    “God created man in his own image. God created dinosaurs in the image of his cousin Ted.”

    Anyone ever see Eddie Izzard’s show where he does a ripping good take on Jesus and the donosaurs.

    This is a transcript, the youtube is gone…and if you haven’t seen him, Izzard’s God always sounds like James Mason.

    Heck no. It’s an actual photograph. I believe Sears-Roebuck had something set up back then. Or Peter was a shutterbug.

    I’m starting to think that whole taken up in the Rapture thing is just a horrible transcription error by the Greeks. They were, of course, talking about being eaten up by a raptor.

    It’s scary how good a job they did in building the museum; the dinosaur models are especially remarkable. It’s sad to me that someone who is obviously up on the latest scientific research on dinos is willing to use that expertise in service of something so deliberately and unabashedly anti-science.

    Like Scalzi, I have to admire the craftsmanship that went into building this temple of horseshit. Unlike him, I can’t be so sanguine about it. This kind of shit works, because Americans are fixated on Teh Shiny.

    Oh, and I have to chime in with my love of the picture of White Guy Jesus cradling a baby Velociraptor. That’s brilliant.
