Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

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

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

A lot of you know how little attention I like to pay to the polls, because they fluctuate, are just a snapshot, and anything can happen. However, the way things are currently trending, with Obama close to opening a double digit lead in several national polls, several state polls are pretty shocking:

Obama +10 in Virginia
Obama +6 in North Carolina
Obama +7 in Ohio

If McCain loses Virginia, Ohio, and North Carolina- Boom boom, out go the lights!

Love that song.

    Btw, I absolutely love how Obama saved Keating as a sort of "October Surprise". McCain probably thought he was out of the woods on that months ago.

    If the elections were today, Obama would get something like 353 Electoral Votes. I’m sure it will fluctuate during the onslaught of mud coming from the right, but for now it’s good news.

    In a way, it’s a good thing that Hillary flushed out all the crap that could be used against him. Now the press pretty much reacts with big yawns about how it’s all old news.

    Whether they’ll admit it or not, most people know that McCain is one balky teleprompter away from being transformed from a grizzled warrior into Grandpa Simpson.

    And Vice President Avon Lady isn’t in any position to for her and hubby-dude to take over the Oval Office – no matter how many times they try to convince our lying eyes that the Veep debate was a tie (or that she even won, if you’re really chugging the Kool-Aid).

    I love that album. Bought the original on vinyl in 1979; have Boom Boom on my iPod–it is great cycling music.

    As for McCain and the rest of the Lunatic Right: They are in full flop sweat mode. Tucker Bounds was on MSNBC this morning channeling Palin’s talking points and Nora O’Donnell was clearly thinking, "Tucker, you are full of shit and no one is buying it anymore. Don’t you think it would be a little classier to go out graciously?"

    Hilzoy ended a post the other day with a statement that bears repeating:

    Sometimes, I try to imagine what it will be like for John McCain when this campaign is over, and he realizes how completely he has destroyed his character and his honor. I cannot imagine that it will seem worth it come December.

    I hope he spends a long time feeling ashamed.

    Nothing at this point is going to change anything.

    McCain has lost his second and last bid at the White-house.

    I won’t be surprised if he doesn’t even make it long enough to run for another senate seat. I imagine he probably won’t be with us after next year.

    And Palin? She’ll go back to Alaska and be shocked that McCains fancy DC lawyers have left her high and dry, to face that music there. She will either be recalled as Governor, or impeached. She will be tarnished. No one will want a ex-impeached or recalled Governor running for public office.

    Yes, Comrade. But when he says, "What they’ve seen [in Obama] is something quite unremarkable," I have to take issue.

    Obama is, in fact, in every way an eminently remarkable politician. Yes, Big Dawg would have also withstood this barrage of horse poo we’ve seen the McCain folks spewing, but Obama comes without the distraction of bimbo eruptions.

    I truly will not be surprised if the Obama administration turns out to be a once in every 50 to 100 years type of administration. Certainly, the times will afford him every opportunity to mark his mark in the history books.

    It’s actually more like if McCain loses Virginia, Ohio, or North Carolina, then boom boom…but I appreciate the reminder of the classic track.

    There is speculation at 538 that Indiana could be in play. Certainly, it is possible for Obama to win. From what I could read from the comments, Indiana is usually the first result to show up. If Indiana turns blue, a lot of people seem to say that we can all go to bed as the election is over.
     
    An Indiana win would send shockwaves across the republican party. At least they’ll still have Kentucky and Tenneseee those guys are crazy. Still heavily red regardless of how bad it would be for them. We shoudl see if any of us blue states are paying for any of their services. :-)
     
    I was somewhat surprised that Bush won the college vote at Purdue. I grew up in West Lafayette, and I had a great experience there going to school. In college, I think I was only called ‘nigger’ once by a bunch of drunk people in a car going at speed down a main avenue. I did the preequisite "fuck you".

We have A-A’s, we have several metropolitan areas chockablock with non-troglodytes, and we have a lot of folks out of work. Obama’s had ground troops here for a long time, and the primary really helped him build an operation here. You may or may not remember that NC went for Obama over Hillary big, big, big time. North Carolina: Not Really All That Backwards. You Might Be Thinking of South Carolina.

    Also, Liddy Dole isn’t looking too good. She might not want to show her face around NC after…wait a minute. She never shows her face here. Never mind.

    Napoleon – I’ll be sure to let you know when I find out where I’m going. Very cool that you’re an Ohio atty… I hope you think about seizing the day and having a great story for your grandkids!

    A blowout would be pretty nice, but there’s a part of me that thinks it’s gonna be very dirty on the ground that day.

    Litlebritdifrnt – Sounds like you will have a ton o’fun…amazing how much good energy there is out there.

    I’ll be thrilled to see Ohio go blue, I really will, but I just don’t see it happening. I’ve met too many people from that State. It’s got a stubborn streak to it, and not in a good way. It’s like they’re determined to vote Republican because they can’t admit they were wrong.

    When I lived in a neighboring state, my Michigander associates told me Ohio’s sullenly self-destructive political habits came from too many pellagra-ridden Appalachians living downwind of the tire factories. There’s a more sophisticated political analysis that has to do with the Taft crime family (exemplars for that other Rethug crime cartel now in possession of the Oval Office) having retained Ohio as a little political Lichtenstein ever since the Teddy Roosevelt started RICO-ing the original robber barons during the last Gilded Age. But if Ohio stays Republican after the last eight years, it’s past time to start testing for groundwater toxins… now that all the factories have been dismantled and shipped off to our new Chinese overlords.

    OK, in a rare instance, I actually do have something to add: I’ll be the first in the thread to mention Little Walter.

    "Boom boom, out go the lights" isn’t about making out. It’s about domestic violence. Love the song—hate the lyrics.

    Thank you demi, I was going to make that point as well, but never got around to it.

    That song has always bothered me. Like I say, I love it — but loathe its message. ("I always thought I treat her nice // When I get her in my sights // Boom, boom! Out go the lights." is pretty direct, you know.) Still, the music, the urgency, and the lyrics are a coherent unit. You can’t listen to the song without recognizing the mixed undertones of sexualized violence, even if you can’t make out the words.
