Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Bark louder, little dog.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

The willow is too close to the house.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

    While you’re waiting for site repairs, here’s an amusing diversion: A reader of Dave Weigel’s seems to have found the source of the Kenyan Obama Birth Certificate, and it’s hilarious:

    http://washingtonindependent.com/53658/is-this-the-source-of-the-forged-kenyan-birth-certificate

    Seems to have been taken from an Australian genology website and modified… lazily. “Lavendar” and “Miller” remain as the surnames of the Registrars, and they didn’t bother to change the “book numbers” at all. Forgery fail, as if anyone would be surprised.

    Well, the site is all screwed up for me again.

    We suffered through dial-up until a year ago, a punishment for living in the middle of nowhere. Comcast is paradise in comparison.

    The site is looking so good that I’m tempted to subscribe to Newt Gingrich’s free newsletter.

    Still hosed over here, even when I use my Golden Ticket.

    P.S. Did you know WordPress 2.8.3 is now available? Seems like they really, REALLY want you to ‘upgrade’, Mr. Cole…

    And since I was EPU’ed on the last thread:

    I think John should run the fundraiser as a “Vote for Tunch or Lily” poll. Let’s settle the site’s Cat-Servant-vs-Dog-Owner ratio once and for all!

    Ouch.

    Hello World. Welcome to WordPress.

    Some days are just like that, my sympathy.

    So, how many of you tried to Install WordPress and run the site?

    More sopapillas, please!
