Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

No one could have predicted…

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

This really is a full service blog.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

I was promised a recession.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

He really is that stupid.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

I am still wiped out.

BTW- do we need to put out a missing persons report on Punchy and JSF? I was convinced they would be griefing me pretty hardcore last night.

    Wingnuts over at the Corner have offered their plan on the economic stimulus: Deregulate to Stimulate

    Actually they use the word liberate instead of deregulate. But the result would be the same

    What? Did you not appreciate the Boob Chat theme developing on the previous Open Thread?
    Ha! I said "developing".

    Punchy’s been in a thread or two today, as I recall.
    Fuckhead and Mrs. Fuckhead are prolly "celebrating" Ground Hog Day in style, thanks to her new vacuum.
    He’s a romantic, that one.
    In case he swings by, I’ll help him ratchet up the romance factor.

    John,

    Here in Cleveland they played part of the Steeler’s post game interview, which I took it was from today. It was a question put to him from our local paper’s reporter and when he stated who he was at the beginning of his question and that he was from Cleveland the coach just started laughing/giggling to which the reporter said "go ahead, rub it in".

    Honestly, I didn’t want to ruin the game for ya. And I was rooting for the Steelers anyway. Although not nearly as hard as Mrs. Fuckhead was rooting for the Cards. (She’s a Cowboys fan normally so there ain’t no talking sense with her.)

    @Laura W: Sigh. I was trying to enjoy yer banter and then you go and slap me in the face with Rod Stewart.

    I suspected you might strike again so I’ve been holding this gem in reserve. I’m pretty sure I used to have a pair of pants just like this but I don’t think I had the.. uh.. matching top.

    @Just Some Fuckhead: Now see…I edited out a line that said: "Lemme know if you don’t get this cuz it is a bit obtuse, but then again, it is you I am bantering with."
    I see my edit was premature and I overestimated your Get It factor on that one. But I would rather give you the benefit of the doubt in these cases than assume less of you, you know?

    So what I meant was I was so busy looking at the packed pants that I did not notice he had anything on top, let alone a torso.
    See?
    Funny as heck, huh?

    Anyway, it’s prolly a jumpsuit.
    (Say! Do you think John set this open thread up just for us, baiting you up top, and knowing I wouldn’t soil the super serious, important threads if I could soil here?)

    @Laura W: Oh shit, lmfao. Now that I go back and view it again, I do notice that he’s packed into those pants. Don’t know how I missed that the first time.

    Your day wasn’t all that bad compared to what it could have been…

    Taking full advantage of the"open" part of the thread- I just need to vent that when you have a friend, and that friend owns a horse, and that horse gives birth to a baby horse and the friend takes pictures of that baby horse and you tell your friend to please send the pictures that, "I’ll try to email them later this week" is NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER FROM YOUR FRIEND.

    Whew. I feel better. For those who haven’t seen it: Cupcake dog.

    Rummy tries to catch the Bus.

    With his SmarTrip card in hand — the DC metro’s rechargeable fare card — Rumsfeld "stood quietly" waiting for the bus. “It was almost like the guy at the first day of work,” Heil and Brotherton’s source remarked. “He was looking at the card, thinking, ‘How does this work?’”
    The bus eventually came but "was too packed to pick up any more passengers," the reporters wrote.
    Rumsfeld apparently gave up, walking away down the hill.

    How the mighty hath fallen.

    What, he wasn’t thrown under the bus?
