Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

A consequence of cucumbers

Battle won, war still ongoing.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Come on, man.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Let there be snark.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

This blog will pay for itself.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

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

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

Who is Hugh G. Rection and Why Is He Visiting the White House?

I guess I missed this particular episode of wingnuttery. I’m a big fan of how after they made asses out of themselves asserting Wright and Ayers and others falsely visited the White House, they then blamed it on the WH for not warning them that different people can have the same name.

    Yes, this has been around for a bit. Olbermann had Ed Morrissey and others who went crazy over Ayers and Wright appearing on the list as some of his “worst persons” last night.

    they then blamed it on the WH for not warning them that different people can have the same name

    How can we expect the nation’s press corps to actually read the official statement that accompanied the release:

    A lot of people visit the White House, up to 100,000 each month, with many of those folks coming to tour the buildings. Given this large amount of data, the records we are publishing today include a few “false positives” – names that make you think of a well-known person, but are actually someone else. In September, requests were submitted for the names of some famous or controversial figures (for example Michael Jordan, William Ayers, Michael Moore, Jeremiah Wright, Robert Kelly (“R. Kelly”), and Malik Shabazz). The well-known individuals with those names never actually came to the White House. Nevertheless, we were asked for those names and so we have included records for those individuals who were here and share the same names.

    That would be an unreasonable request.

    One funny thing about the list of names: the WH didn’t just release a list of everybody who visited, they released names that were specifically requested. One that I heard had been requested for release if he had visited: R. Kelly. Because, well, he’s black and stuff. So he must have gone to the White House.

    The burden of course is on the White House to prove that they’re not “that” Bill Ayers or Jeremiah Wright. I am serious there, but I’ll counteract that bit of contrarianism with more of the same and ask, so what if they were? I, for one, would also like them to clear up for the record that the Gary Bauer on the list is not “that” Gary Bauer. I’m not going to throw a shitfit if they don’t though.

    I once met someone with the name Dick Rasch. You’d think his parents would have thought twice about the nicknames before naming him Richard.

    A few years ago, I was at a eye clinic scheduling surgery (I’m fine). The date was April 1st. Someone paged “Seymour Clearly”. FSM’s truth.

    My understanding is that two possible terrorist-sounding names had to be double-checked against the Terror Watch List:

    Hassan ben Sobr
    and
    Mustafa Bath

    But it turns out they were just poor schlubs who invested in toilet paper futures and a revolving-door company, and were wiped out before they could turn around.

    @freelancer:

    My best friend’s name, no joke, is Sharon Heiny. She hated her parents during Middle School.

    I have a very good friend named Kara Mehl who also hated her parents for a long time.

    One more believe it or not: my wife went to high school with a Tera Hyman. Her father was an MD and should have known better.

    Some friends were having their first baby, wanted suggestions for names. Last name was Hymen, we suggested Buster.

    @Ed Drone:

    Gaia help me, this thread is now officially toxic.

    (Me: LOL)
    (Her: What are you looking at now?)
    (Me: Tera Hymen!)
    (Her: I thought you weren’t supposed to look at that stuff at work anymore.)

    My personal favourite is the head of the Working Mothers’ Support Group: *Erasmus B. Dragon*

    Wouldn’t you love to get Click ‘n’ Clack drunk and off-mic some night? They have me on the floor anyhow most of the time; I can hardly conceive of what they’d be like uncensored.

    Article Title Fail: “The Economic Tool That Gets Everything Wrong” by Megan McArdle.

    Oh, my god. That is the funniest thing I’ve read all week.

    That is analogous to this, except, well.
