Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Republicans don’t trust women.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

No one could have predicted…

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Let me file that under fuck it.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Just not feeling it today, and I apologize.

My feet are cold, my sinuses are acting up, and the crock pot is not done. I may need to start drinking.

    Long Hot Shower. Tall Cold Whiskey. After that the crockpot’ll be done or you just won’t care anymore.

    Get some Smartwool socks. A little pricey but worth they will keep your feet nice & toasty.

    Either ginger tea or cayenne/honey/lemon tea. Just a quarter tsp of cayenne, and for gawds sake, don’t manage to accidently take a big whiff of it up your nose (don’t ask, and yes, it is very painful).

    Both are really comforting when you have a head or chest cold.

    I was over at Yahoo and saw the most popular searches list. Most were topical…Heath Ledger, etc. But one seemed to indicate that some folks are already thinking about their stimulus check: plasma TVs.

    Mine’s going into my expatriation fund. I’d rather watch the ocean from a south of the border beach than a plasma TV.

    Yeah, I’m with everybody else. Drink will solve those problems (or make them less worrisome, anyway.)

    Smartwool socks are awesome though. Once you start wearing good wool or synthetic socks, you’ll never want to wear cotton socks again.

    Make a trip to Gander Mountain, REI or an outdoor sports establishment and purchase good wool hiking socks. No more cold feet just warm, comfy and cozy feet. I hike my dogs a lot during the winter and cold feet makes hiking hell.

    My parents were always talking about how cold their feet were during winter here. I got them each a couple of pairs wool hiking socks to wear during the winter. I have two happier warmer campers for parents.

    LOL! Krista knows too. Get the good socks.

    Even given the shit that I was expecting from the right, I actually shouted out “You’re fucking kidding me…” when I saw this one. Some right-wing group have banded together against Clinton under the name Citizens United Not Timid. That’s just ….. wow!

    I think I messed up the permalink in that last story. It should go here. As seen on Carpetbagger.

    I get that citron tea from the asian store. Yum. Put hot water, let it steep and if you eat the citron bits they leave a nice glow in your stomach. I use it to stave off any cold/flu that might be coming my way.

    Actually, there is only one treatment that’s been shown in a controlled trial to shorten up the course of a cold … snorting salt water. Mix 1/2 tsp of salt in a cup of warm water and up the old snout with it. Zinc lozenges, echinacea, Air-Borne, garlic, and vitamin C don’t work, but salt water is the bomb and, besides, the price is right. You have to use it at the very start of the cold, though.

    Cold virus reproduces in the posterior nasopharynx and the salt water at the beginning of a cold merely washes the virus out of the area. Gargling doesn’t get the cleansing up high enough. You won’t drown.

    Try looking in the asian stores for something called Dushanda. It’s basically a bunch of herbs and spices that you brew as a tea. Add some honey or a little bit of butter to the tea to make it go down better because the stuff tastes like warmed over pencil shavings. But it works like a charm, especially if you have a nasty cough that goes with the cold.

    Just remember to stop before the point Redstate seems to be making sense to you.

    Immigration has been off the charts for a while. So here is a song by Cheech and Chong, “Born in East L.A.”
