Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

We still have time to mess this up!

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

This fight is for everything.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

    Back in the day, Goofy, Micky or Minnie blotter or purple microdot was the good stuff. This clip would have been fun to watch then, but then so would the AfterDark screen savers…lol! The home PC age and acid just didn’t sync up at the same time in history.

    This is pretty inventive art, and I bet it took a lot of time to set up. Nice catch!

    May I be the first to say HOLY LIVING SHIT THAT’S INCREDIBLE.

    This is why education and leisure time are good for society; they make it possible for people to create art like that.

    Terry Gilliam comes to mind.
    Seems I see his influence in many current themes.

    For those who may have not seen this Daily Show clip, enjoy. Had me shooting milk through my nose. Maybe John can enlighten us on the venerable tradition of the West Virginia douche-off.;)

    Nice tributes to Q*bert, Shel Silverstein and (possibly) James Thurber.

    I wonder how long that took. Weeks? Months? YEARS?

    Unless, like, the whole thing was done on like, a computer and, like, just made to look real.

    Whoa.

    Want a bad trip? I like this one. For my money, the “best” part starts a little under a minute in…

    Somebody sure had a lot of time on their hands. Oh my, Orange Microdot, Purple Haze, Mr Natural and assorted others…

    I forgot about that ‘flavor’… ;)

    Windowpane was one of my favorites. You could drop a corner in your eye, it was that clean. Acid was like mushrooms for me, more like speed with a dose of nitrous. I never hallucinated from it, and I ate a lot of it. You would think of goofy things, like stepping off a curb and thinking ‘wow, my foot has to go a long way to hit the ground’, or running though a store and think of standing still while the food in the aisle rushed past you, but no ‘colors’, distortions or doing things that your don’t remeber the next day. Sometimes the perma-grin would leave your face muscles hurting the next day, but it was always worth it.

    Never had a bad trip, but I learned long ago that acid should not be taken by those who do not have a good sense of humor. Dark personalities seem to get a bad trip more often than not. But if you like to laugh your ass off at anything, then acid was the ride to take.

    Ah, the good old daze… :D
