Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

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

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Stand up, dammit!

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Be a wild strawberry.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

So very ready.

The revolution will be supervised.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR HILLARY!

Quite the day. Via Drudge, I see that Jesse Jackson, talking about Obama, has stated that he would like to “Cut his nuts out.”

Via Rumproast, I see that Rothschild heiress Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild on Fox. Perhaps Howard Wolfson can ask her about it next time she is on.

Random thoughts:

1.) WTF does “cut his nuts out” mean? I understand threatening to cut them off, or rip them off, or being kicked in the junk, but what does cut his nuts out mean?

2.) If you have the name “Lady” or “de Rothschild,” you can’t call anyone elitist without making me laugh. Period.

3.) This election will never, ever end, and if the DNC does not start reforming the primary process now so that the 2012 or 2016 election is shorter, I am moving to France.

    Obama’s a young guy. Perhaps Jackson is implying they haven’t dropped yet.

    3.) This election will never, ever end, and if the DNC does not start reforming the primary process now so that the 2012 or 2016 election is shorter, I am moving to France John Kerry Land.

    The election will continue until morale improves.

    I think it’s just hyperbolic overkill indicating the degree to which Jackson is frustrated that (like the Clintons) he has been eclipsed, neutered and rendered irrelevant by Obama’s rise.

    Nader, Jackson. Which former lefty will make a fool of himself/herself next?

    If you have the name “Lady” or “de Rothschild,” you can’t call anyone elitist without making me laugh. Period.

    Lady, of course, is a title. The former New Jersey chick Lynn Forester married Sir Evelyn Robert Adrian de Rothschild. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1989. His wife is referred to by the honorific Lady.

    And yeah, it’s elitist as hell.

    I think we’ve hit the point where someone could make a fortune with “election bunkers”: A cozy, hotel-like facility located within the subterranean and isolated caverns of a now defunct Michigan copper mine.

    For a modest fee, customers could check in at any point during the election season and be allowed to remain in blissful seclusion until after the elections have ended. (Provisions for early absentee voting could be arranged as well.)

    I just wonder if it would be more popular with Democrats or Republicans.

    well about her ladyship it could be argued “it takes one to know one.”

    Or perhaps one might employ the “I’m rubber and you’re glue” argument?

    If all else fails one could fall back upon “la di dah, folderol, neeener, neener, my lady”

    Hey, I have a conspiracy theory watch.

    Sometime in the next few hours (or has it happened already?) a right wing blog will convince its readers that Obama aides asked Jesse Jackson to make the remark because it would endear Obama to more Amurkins to have a public split with Jackson.

    France? John, dude, Canada’s right next door. It’d be a lot easier to visit friends & family in the US during holidays. On the down-side, your money doesn’t have quite the purchasing power here that it used to.

    I’ll put you up in the guest room until you get yourself sorted. Also, starting practicing this phrase: “Oot & aboot” (out & about).

    And let’s add to that that the Rothschilds are not just any aristocratic family. Besides royalty, they are probably the most famous, well established and influential aristocratic family in Europe.

    First thing that came to mind was the movie Hard Candy. The bastard (in the movie) deserved it, but ouch! Cutting them off, ripping them off, or being kicked in them doesn’t compare even remotely to what was done to a pair in this movie. It’s nightmare material. Maybe Jesse had some.

    There you go! Our house will likely be completed in mid-October. We’ll have two spare bedrooms and could use the help paying the mortgage. And, we’ve got high-speed internet, so you can keep blogging.

    Perfect. Pack Tunch, and get your butt up here.

    I’d assume it means to cut out the testes so as to leave the empty scrotal skin flapping in the breeze.

    Clearly Obama has a black preacher problem.

    Already seen several news articles mentioning Wright and Pfleiger and saying this is “another preacher problem”. E.g. from here, “Jackson is the third Chicago pastor to create problems for Obama on the campaign trail.” and from here, “Obama is still bouncing back from the weeks-long controversy over his former minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright”.

    Well, as they say, all black preachers look alike.

    What does this have to do with Clinton?

    It’s just thread merge. The Jackson thing doesn’t have anything to do with Clinton, but Lady de Rothschild is a Clinton supporter who has not gotten the message that Hillary is on board with Obama. Nor, for that matter, are several commenters on the Rumproast thread linked to by John.

    Here is a bit of contradiction, Republicans have always pushed the idea that public schools make stupid public students. But then they push some of the most stupid public ideas known to any creature that is able to walk on two legs. (including several bird species such as Crows, Jays and several deep sea mammals that can’t walk at all such as Dolphins, Whales and Krill (o.k. Krill are not actually deep sea, or mammal, but are still smarter than Republicans.) They deny the reality of evolution, and therefore reject all scientific theories, such as gravity. I think these simpletons are going to grow wings and float off the face of the earth into their own theories. At which time they will suffocate.

    Just a theory though.

    Tlaloc, How do you say something full of wit and descriptive humour in one post, and then follow it so quickly with pointless rubbish?
    Hills isn’t the devil, Obama isn’t the bloody messiah ( he’s a very naughty boy )

    Obama didn’t stab anyone in the back, he made a political decision that some do not agree with.
    Jessee Jackson made an off air comment and apologised directly to Obama.
    Peeps dont think its right to give money to the Clintons towards their debt when your country is in recession and they are bloody millionaires.

    Dont spoil your wit by being a twat.

    I read the statement on Drudge. Now, is it me, or does this read like a statement someone would make while he was drunk?

    I have always hated Jesse Jackson. I don’t know why. Well, I know WHY. I just don’t know why I hate him as much as I do.

    On the upside, Jackson’s son ripped him a new one for the remarks!

    I’m deeply outraged and disappointed in Rev. Jackson’s reckless statements about Sen. Barack Obama,” the younger Jackson said. “His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee — and I believe the next president of the United States — contradict his inspiring and courageous career.”

    Jackson Jr. added that he’ll “always love” his father. But, he said, “I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric.”

    Did anyone notice that the CNN piece with Lady de Rothschild identified her simply as ‘Lynn Forester’?

    I guess they did it so that their audience wouldn’t think they had accidentally tuned in to an SNL ‘Weekend Update’ skit. :)

    […] Now granted, I didn’t know what he meant when he said it, but I can not be the only one who thinks what Jackson said wasn’t really that crude, or that out of bounds, or that it was “ugly rhetoric.” It strikes me as the kind of thing people say all the time to each other in private- “I would like to rip his nuts off.” “God, I would just beat him about the head and neck if I could.” “I will rip his arms off and beat him with the bloody stumps.” It was just colorful language, but it wasn’t necessarily that crude or “ugly” or even that out of bounds. Hell, it was what passed as every day conversation among guys when I was in the Army. Maybe it was a little salty for national exposure, but it wasn’t that outrageous to me, and besides, it wasn’t intended for national consumption anyway. […]
