Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

I really should read my own blog.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Infrastructure week. at last.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Notice how the table cloth print ’tilts’ to the right. The Belgian started with substantially more gravity…

For those homebrewers out there, send me beer pics (portusjacksonii[at]yahoo[dot]com) and I will post them in later open threads.

As always, chat about whatever.

    Beer looks tasty, but that glass on the left sure seems to have a rather massive head-to-liquid ratio. Did you do that intentionally for photo-aesthetic purposes?

    Tilting to the right happens in the best of families. Those are some good looking brews. I’m talking about Betty Grable, Farrah Fawcett, Halle Berry poster good looking.

    Not to go all Batshit Bob on you, but what the hell happened to the prices of raisins. I was picking some up for my morning oatmeal and I swear the price jumped two bucks a box.

    I think El Rushbo said this afternoon that the cap and trade bill will cause the price of everything to go up.

    See? He’s a genius! Amirite?

    And to go with your Home brew.

    Stuck’s Friday Foreign Flick Fandango

    This weeks recommendation is Tell No One. A French Tale (yes that French). It is a dazzling kidnap mystery that you will not be able to guess the outcome. The acting and screenplay are just spectacular. And for the ladies, and too, the manly men of BJ, a genuine love story. Not contrived but with real chemistry between the actors.

    One of the best movies I’ve ever watched, no joke. It get’s a 4.5 Star Rating out of 5.

    @Comrade Stuck: Tomorrow I’m going to watch Persepolis and Tell no One is on my list for next week. I can watch movies on my computer instantly through Netflix but I’d rather watch them on my TV. Last week I saw Marley and Me and I was disappointed. The book described Marley in such a way that you developed a bond with him. The movie missed that connection although as a lover of dogs, I still managed to go through several tissues.

    I’m generally not a big fan of animated flicks, but several people have recommended Persepolis so maybe I’ll give it a look see.

    When you type in Demerol into the google, it’s first suggestion is “demerol Michael Jackson.” Now that’s a legacy.

    Has Greenwald’s piece on Klavin’s piece been linked to here yet? Apologies if it has and I’m posting it again. But if not… oh my. The comments are hilarious- especially on Klavin’s page, after Greenwald links to it.

    Having too many small children underfoot for home brewing to be an advisable hobby, I am devoted to working my way through all the regional small brewers. Overall quality is way up since I last tried this ten years ago.

    One notable newcomer is the Mayflower brewery in Plymouth. Their Pale Ale is a very competent rendering of a relatively quotidian product. Makes for an excellent session beer, with just enough complexity to keep interesting over a long evening.

    I am so grateful to have an open thread and an opportunity to whine. I have stomach flu. My husband is out backpacking on the coast (not the Argentinian coast) and I am home alone, so weak I had to sit down three times while making a sandwhich, the first food I have been able to keep down in two days.

    Last time John put up an open thread I whined about having headlice. This is my life! I do in home health care and whatever my client’s grandchildren get, I get too.

    BBC is reporting that Russian gas company Gazprom is starting a cooperative venture with the Nigerian state oil company.

    The new African venture will be called Nigaz.

    That has to be the most infelicitous trademark since German firm Siemens tried to trademark Zyklon in the US for its household vacuum products.

    No, really.

    Russia’s energy giant Gazprom has signed a $2.5bn (£1.53bn) deal with Nigeria’s state operated NNPC, to invest in a new joint venture.
    The new firm, to be called Nigaz, is set to build refineries, pipelines and gas power stations in Nigeria.

    Some blatant Blog-whoring so forgive me, and while trying to represent science as non-partisan, but given the cards that have been dealt, I’m seeing more and more that a one-party system is emerging, and that the right simply wants a ticket to crazytown: A nightmarish place where the music is the song “Butterfly” as covered by the Jonas Brothers and played on repeat, ad infinitum.

    In my absence, there is, as always, laughter.

    EDIT: OMG multiple links worked, The wordpress gods favor me this evening! Huzzah!
