Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

People are complicated. Love is not.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Republicans don’t trust women.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

    It was a little weird to start watching a movie at 1:50 and look up 15 minutes later to see it was now 3:05.

    Forget fixing the clock, can we fix Steve King? People like him don’t need to be reproducing…

    Yeah. Great. I enjoy feeling semi-jet lagged without actually going anywhere. Wheee.

    This is the one of only two times of the year I really miss living in Indiana.

    Forget fixing the clock, can we fix Steve King? People like him don’t need to be reproducing…

    I would get a second job and contribute each pay check to a Spay/Neuter A Republican Whack-a-mole program. But that’s because I’m a librul fascist eugenicist.

    I’m keeping an eye on you. And I’ll probably post some wise-ass, snarky comment every 10-15 minutes too!

    This is the one of only two times of the year I really miss living in Indiana.

    You missed the Great Indiana DST Debate. They’ve gone on DST for the last year. I still have family there, so I keep up with the news. You’d think they were going to war or something.

    Doug Feith’s Iraq mia non culpa gets published this week. Librarians and bookstore clerks are in a tizzy on where to file it; history, fiction, fantasy, or home & garden- composting.
    Way to go Georgetown!

    Don’t even get started. Just back away from your computer, slowly, and do something else.

    Krista, find the quest-givers (they’ll have big yellow exclamation points over their heads and on your mini-map) and do quests. In most cases quests will get you through your levels easily.

    What class did you choose?

    I haven’t played WoW yet, but my understanding is that given enough time it becomes the gaming equivalent of hearing this song in your head constantly.

    I haven’t chosen anything yet — I’m still reading the “Getting Started” section to figure out what I want to do.

    John, what kind of chrono-authoritarian are you, anyway? What gave you the right to say that my clocks are “broken”? They’re different from yours, sure — but that’s because it’s a different time here than it is there.

    So stop lying about your temporal experience!

    Denny Hastert’s “seat” was available for pickup?

    Typical Republican.

    You’re committing all of your free time to an endless devouring black hole of nerdy fun, that’s what you’re doing.

    Denny Hastert’s “seat” was available for pickup?

    If you have a crane, maybe. All of the trusses and steel reinforcements make it considerably heavier than a normal chair.

    We’re an empire now, and when we set your clocks forward, we create our own time zones. And while you’re studying those time zones—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new time zones, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re chronology’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.

    Stop calling it Daylight Savings Time. The new term is “Time Surge”. You gotta support the clocks.

    also OT:

    Chinese authorities foil Islamofascist terror plot

    I think we should emulate the Chinese. Obviously it is much safer to live in an authoritarian police state with totally unregulated free-market capitalism run amok.

    jrg — I’m not surprised by the comments…but without a source, I can’t credit them, either.

    All you’ve got is a video with some very low-quality audio — and with some obvious audio editing glitches. We can’t be sure that it’s real.

    The time change is an Obamist plot to shorten the time between now and the Democratic convention (thus keeping Clinton from locking the nomination up), and then to lengthen the last week to give the Republicans more time in their final money dump to seat McCain.

    Way to go, MUPpets!

    Get a grip, man!

    You know that it’s not really a surge — in JUST A FEW MONTHS, we’ll need to Fall Back to our previous posture. It’s just another name for an escalation.

    Shabazz…how can anything be OT on an Open Thread? Inquiring minds and all that.

    Seriously…I wish we had a freeking Truman commission. These guys should be facing criminal charges, exposed as the rank profiteers they are, and closed down. Whatever happened to the “power of the subpoena”?

    Ha — well, it wasn’t “officially” declared an open thread, so I was just covering all my bases.

    The power of the subpoena was rendered “quaint” the second Harriet Myers was allowed to perform her no-show routine. Remember, in this country, the Decider makes all the decisions and he’s decided that neither he nor his party nor their benefactors have ever done anything worth investigating.
