Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

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

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Not all heroes wear capes.

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

T R E 4 5 O N

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

No Justins, No Peace

I need something to cheer me up. Can anyone find the Synchronized Swimmers clip from SNL on Hulu featuring Harry Shearer and Marting Short?

And this is another open thread.

    Oh, hell no, Zuzu. I can’t watch that PBS stuff anymore. My blood pressure just goes through the roof. I know how awful the war is, I don’t need to watch it again. Plus, the idiots are trying to start another one just up the road a bit in Iran.

    It’s also true that I still have 58 of 61 blue book exams left to grade. And I promised that I’d have them back tomorrow. So there’s that excuse, too.

    Yeah usually my cat shoved her ass in my face while she thinks about maybe thinking about lying down on my mouse hand. Of course this happens right when I get two adds.

    FYI. Phil Hartman was a genius, and News Radio was one of the best shows ever.

    I really didn’t know who Harry Shearer was until 2 or 3 years ago, so thats interesting to learn that was him in that skit. I just recall Martin Short and someone else.

    A classic.

    Not in any manner of measurement.

    Well, unless you roll a Shaman, then it’s better by default.

    Are you moving over to Warhammer when it comes out? I’m not sure how much you enjoy the PvP…

    We need more MMORPG threads, the election is getting me down.

    John, not sure if this will cheer you up, but it might be a good topic for a post: GOP State Party Orgs Near Collapse I’ll bet that as conservative who left the Republican Party because it was hijacked by yahoos, you and other sane cons would have a LOT to say about this, and much of it being stuff that former Republicans would understand the best.

    And there’s also the percieved “honesty gap” between Hillary and McCain and Obama. Bet you’d have a lot to say about that as well!

    I tell you that I’m looking forward eagerly to the next Star Wars RPG. I know, I know — I’m a loser. But the physics just sounds so cool. And the idea of being forced to play an antihero is pretty compelling…

    Dude, you were the one giving me advice on playing horde, and now you’re saying you’re a loser? Are you trying to drag me down with you or something?

    No — there’s a single player RPG set between the trilogy that sucks and the decent trilogy where you get to play as Darth Vader’s apprentice.

    I assume you’re talking about the Force Unleashed? It’s an action game with some minor RPG elements, not a full-fledged RPG. And apparently the physics engine can lead to some interesting scenarios.
