Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

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

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

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

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

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

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Just a reminder that the Balloon Juice store (all proceeds go to animal rescue) is now open:

You can use that link, or you can use the permanent one to the right.

Also, in our excitement to unveil the store last night, we forgot to also thank commenters SGEW and Bartkid’s help with the graphics. Sorry guys! And thanks!

    @mr. whipple: On the “To Do Soon” list.
    @asiangrrlMN: CP does not offer black coffee mugs, sadly. We have two white choices. Small and Large.
    @Gordon, The Big Express Engine: CP does not offer beer huggies. Can I interest you in a lovely very manly stein?

    right now I have to scrape enough coin together to buy new tires for the StuckTruck, after that in a month or so, I get me a Lily Pad for my mouse. Don’t know Bartkid, but thanks, and always to SGEW who I love to kick shins with from time to time.:)

    Yay! A permanent link to the store. Perfect.

    My precarious financial situation is going to have to improve a bit before I can go shopping, but now it will be super easy to find!

    Can’t wait to get my large Tunch mug, Feed apron, Lily dog shirt, Little Bitsy mouse pad, BJ clock…and…and…and…

    Great job on the store, y’all. And for a good cause. So much win.

    Do you know if there will be any black tanktops?
    I’d love to get one as well as a white one.

    I ordered the obey mug, and another with the generic bj logo. Can’t wait to post a pic of cocoa with whipped cream in the tunch mug.

    @Carrie: That’s a great question, and an obvious omission on their part, as I am all about the black.
    NO black tanks. Weird, huh?

    @jeffreyw: I would like to thank and acknowledge you for being the VERY FRIST BJ’er through the doors last night. You were our very first sale(s)!

    Why can’t I buy a pair of those shoes that you will occasionally see worn by those folks you’ll routinely find at the circus?

    And yes I am avoiding the filter, damnit.

    Damn just watched ET again, and yet again I am a blubbering idiot. Steven Spielburg and John Williams are both geniuses. That is all.

    @jeffreyw: Someone has been watching “Worst Cooks in America”. I thought that soup looked delish as well, though I’m partial to Asian soups. Heck I don’t think I’ve had a soup I didn’t like, save a few of the canned varieties.

    Oh and that chicken in wine sauce recipe had better get posted with BHF soon or else I will sic my wifey upon you. I’ll do it.

    Ouch and oops! Adding SGEW and Bartkid to that list of folk for whom I burn joss sticks for good fortune. If, what goes around comes around, then SGEW and Bartkid are entitled to have some nice things turn up along their path. Putting this store together could only have been real work. A lot of work with little personal reward suggests special people to me. So thanks from me, too, SGEW and Bartkid.

    Recognition for my meager efforts! That’s all we can ask for; thank you for the nod (tho’ we should be giving a hat tip to Shepard Fairey as well, I suppose).

    Looking forward to buyin’ some swag, all right. I OBEY!

    Also: Tunch no can has posse? Couldn’t take the “1’4″ 520lbs.” joke, huh?

    @SGEW: We really wanted to use that one but couldn’t get it to the degree of resolution and clarity needed. (Did I say that right, Ahab?) The nitpickiness of CP when it comes to the size and state of the images was something I never expected, but I did not know what to expect. Ahab put half of his life into resizing and creating new graphics out of them.

    I emailed your sock puppet yesterday. Very sorry for leaving you out of the OBEY/FEED concept chronology. All my fault.

    I think I will be ordering the “I am aware of all internet traditions” mouse pad.

    BTW, can you post when someone orders one of the thongs? And are those unisex?

    @John PM:

    I most certainly can not.
    I am a very discreet shopkeeper.

    @Birdzilla: Could it be? Was this just a real Birdzilla sighting? I’m dubious — the lack of caps, the coherency…

    Hm…
