Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I really should read my own blog.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

We still have time to mess this up!

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

    DougJ, as a longtime SFer, I recommend THIRSTY BEAR. Excellent tapas, wonderful brew. Gotta try the fish cheeks!

    *sigh* I wish I could go, I haven’t been to Thirsty Bear in ages and ages…have fun!

    Toronado better. Or La Trappe. Or Lucky 13.

    Alas, I’m in Austin, so I can’t stalk you.

    *actually, I do like the Bear’s food.

    Actually, I was thinking Joe’s Place down the street would be alot better. It’s a lot closer to my house, so that I don’t have to drive 3000 miles to meet you. Be there at 8? Okthanxbai!

    How are you going to know each other? Are you going to go into the bar and ask where the BJ group is? That might have unintended consequences in SF.

    13 comments in and nobody has mentioned the black leather blazer?!?!? Am I taking crazy pills? Mr. Blackwell would not approve, I’m sure.

    @goblue72:
    Perhaps, but I’m thinking it must have been *way* back in the closet in Rochester.

    Edit: And I use “in the closet” in the literal sense. The mind is a funny thing.

    House of Shields, hands down, if all we want is to drink. If we may need food, too, then Thirsty Bear is a fine choice – I’ve been there many times. The food and beer are both good.

    I am tempted to go home and get a pink shirt and black leather blazer, too, as that sounds like a Balloon Juice uniform if ever I saw one, but I will stick with my black dress and black/ivory paisley jacket.

    I probably won’t make it till after 9, so you guys better not all pass out after one beer.

    I will be wearing a red velvet cat/bear hat with pompoms.

    @arguingwithsignposts: Too cold for naked (or nipple ring display), and the double wetsuits are hard to walk in. Uh, not that I would know. I suggest fishnets – they’re appropriate for everyone and every occasion.

    Who says there are no real hippies on Balloon Juice?

    @tunch’s bones and @amorphous: as a winter Texan, I’m a big fan of Hill’s Cafe, Alligator Grill, Shady Grove and last but not least, migas at Magnolia Cafe.

    No worries there.

    ETA 2: “Are you going to go into the bar and ask where the BJ group is?” That’s probably not a good idea, especially in S.F.

    Non-judgmentally speaking, wouldn’t that depend on what your idea of a “good idea” is?
