Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

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

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I really should read my own blog.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

The lights are all blinking red.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Atlanta Tornado

I’m in Florida, and I thought the bit of rain we got last night was bad weather. Good thing I wasn’t in Atlanta.

This is just over a mile from my house. Even closer to my place, a row of historic homes was flattened! Fortunately, my house is ok – just a bit of trash up and down the street. Nothing compared to what others have to deal with.

    Yeah, I’m in San Antonio and looking at the late news, saw Shirley Franklin — was wondering why the Atl mayor was on then started hearing about the tornado … sounds as though the old Fulton Bag bldg collapsed … isn’t that the place that had the big fire while being turned into condos?

    The SEC tournament has been moved to Georgia Tech because of damage done to the Georgia Dome. Tickets are limited to family, staff and media leaving thousands of fans searching for a sports bar, I guess. This is suppose to be good for the Georgia players because Kentucky fans are quite noisy. The National Weather service has issued a tornado watch until 7 pm tonight for the area.

    I’m about thirty miles west of Atlanta and we have a big ‘un headed right at us this moment.

    At least we don’t get earthquakes and hurricanes..

    At least our earthquakes are spread out over decades along the San Andreas Fault.

    But then there’s venture capitalist Alan Patricof. And Bear Stearns.

    Count your blessings, man. Back up in the neck of the woods where you and I are from, they’ve had over 800 cm of snowfall (with more to come) so far this winter.

    Hey, at least the necessary comparison has already been made (last night) and we can get on with regular storm coverage:

    “I have not seen anything like this before,” Atlanta fire Battalion Chief Gerry Rusinski said. “It looked like 9-11 when we pulled up.”
