Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Not all heroes wear capes.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Innocent people do not delay justice.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Giving up is unforgivable.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

You cannot shame the shameless.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

    OK, if you’re game to posting hamsters, you’ve GOT to post my pet rats. They’re adorable.

    Pics to be emailed shortly.

    Speaking of rats, did anyone watch Jim Cramer trying to defend himself against Jon Stewart’s relentlessly funny and accurate attacks? Cramer was on the Today show this morning giving his "expert" opinion about Obama’s performance on the economy. Why does anyone listen to anything this idiot has to say?

    Do the booking producers of these shows have a rolodex that is limited to the same dozen idiots? When I want to know about the economy or the stock market, I don’t want to hear from Jim Cramer or Newt Gingrich or Larry Kudlow, etc. In a sane world, these guys would have no credibility to speak on economic issues. Aarrgh. Sorry. The first dose of caffeine has not kicked in yet, so I’m unusually cranky.

    Yes, I saw this, and my jaw hit the floor. Cramer is a pathologically unable to take any criticism. He came off as an incredibly, insanely bitter, vengeful individual. He refused to answer Viara’s (sp?) questions, tried to deflect the absolute takedown Stewart applied last nite, and just eminated fear, spite, and irrationality.

    How he keeps showing up on NBC’s morning gig is unfathomable.

    I can only find this clip with Cramer on Morning Joe. Is there more from the Today Show? I’ll keep looking.

    Edit: Here’s the Today Show clip.

    It’s amazing what happens to the bluster when the curtain gets pulled back. Cramer’s mojo is gone, baby, gone. Luvs it! Jon Stewart is truly kryptonite to hackery.

    The top guy is Murph(y), our 13 year old mutt.
    He’s absolutely been the best dog. He’s been having some hip issues, but I believe the addition of a younger dog a while ago gave him a new lease.

    It’s pretty simple. NBC is trying to save their credibility. NBC/CNBC/MSNBC cannot admit that their financial experts don’t know shit.

    Jim Cramer is a whiny little bitch. Goddamn, I just wanted to slap him after watching that. Damn, I love the Stewart slap down. I can’t wait until Stewart slaps him down again.

    I assume that since the networks are related they don’t have to pay him extra for his "expertise."

    Cramer, Rush, Boehner, Santelli – so much dishing it out, and not being able to take it. Jeebus, Republican egos are so freaking fragile. It’s just too easy to get them to clutch their pearls and melt down, and it’s so unattractive, although highly entertaining. Getting them to do it on morning TV under regular non-ideological Americans’ noses is just icing on the cake.

    I’m so sick today – and I can not tell you how much better I felt after seeing my 3 precious pups; Jonah Lomu (yellow and fat), Bella Ford (pretty and brown) and Ronin Wellington (black and bad).

    They’re famous now. I even sent it to my mom. Hi Mom!

    I love Hamsters and bought a pair at a pet store in Albuquerque in 2000. They were the Dwarf variety and cantankerous little buggers. Full of antics and hyperactive as opposed to their larger cousins. It is almost impossible to tell male from female because the male repro organs are mostly internal, but the lady at the store said she could tell and I was getting two males, because I didn’t want to be overrun with little hamsters.

    She was wrong and within a month, was hip deep in baby hamsters and gave up trying to separate the sexes and had to start giving them away to anyone who would take them. Finally, I took the remainder back to the pet store, and they took and sold the extras, and I got down to 4 or 5 separated gender wise. Though there were still occasional escapes and steamy accidents.

    They only live for about 2 years though and got tired of burying them. So no more hamsters.

    Throwin Stones:

    Do you know what Murph’s mutt-mix is? He reminds me of my mutt, who’s golden/chow/who knows and also an absolutely wonderful dog. She’s about his age too! Maybe we can set them up for some non-procreative hanky-panky.

    fordpowers:

    What were they focused on so intently? Were you holding up a turkey leg, or what?

    That goldie is a beaut.

    Those 3 in the middle look like they could romp and frolic off leash. Wonder if they’re frisbee dogs…

    And if you haven’t seen the "Hamster on a Piano", video and song, YouTube is calling you.

    @Colonel Danite:

    did anyone watch Jim Cramer trying to defend himself against Jon Stewart’s relentlessly funny and accurate attacks?

    Yes! HuffPo linked the video and Stewart was at his best (which means, he laid a bullshitter bare).

    Oh, and I loved loved loved Stewart’s punchline.

    Must watch. Stewart speaks for so many of us. It’s so gratifying.

    @josefina: Yes, I knew his parents – mom was a chow / lab and dad was a white shepard / golden.
    Way back when he went everywhere with me and really enjoyed going to parks, hiking, and canoeing. I haven’t been able to take him out as much the past few years due to age. He still chases the deer out of the back yard and tries to play/wrestle with our other 2 dogs (both ~ 5 years old), but has definitely slowed down.

    @passerby: Gracias

    Yay! Thanks for posting my hamster, Duffy. He was small, but a good friend to me in his short time on Earth. I bought him a cage with a built-in exercise wheel, but the little goofball made the wheel his bed so I had to buy a second exercise wheel, the yellow thing in the picture.

    I agree about rats. They are actually clean animals, but because they can survive so many dirty environments people think they are dirty.

    Comrade Stuck, that happened to me as a kid, but with gerbils. I think my mom still hasn’t gotten over it )

    Is he a German ShepardChow cross? Cause he looks just like my beloved Dweebe (rip) she was the most precious of precious girls (said GSChow cross), who was the Houdini of all Houdini dogs, the Animal Control guy got so used to her digging her way out of the yard he would just pick her up, say "okay young lady back in the yard" and plop her over the gate.
