Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

No Justins, No Peace

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

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

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

T R E 4 5 O N

White supremacy is terrorism.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Open Thread: Thursday Night Menu

From Bad Horse’s Filly:

Had a little trouble deciding what to post tonight. We’ve been pretty busy at work and we are all a bit tired, when I asked the guys what I should post, ordering pizza instead of cooking won out. I pulled three different menus before I decided on a little taste of Sanibel Island. I like the fresh flavors in this menu and I really enjoy tuna and swordfish. The Butter Pecan Turtle Bars are as decadent as they sound, and a breeze to make. You’ll see the Chunky Vegetable Soup recipe later this week and next Thursday I’ll post the other menu I pulled (you’ll just have to wait and see what that is). We had the most amazing rain shower last night; it was like the skies just opened up and poured water from a bucket for about ½ hour. The rest of the night was a steady rain with thunder and lightning, great sleeping weather. Spring has definitely arrived and recipes will begin to reflect that. JeffreyW is further south than I am, so his photos have made me long for warm weather and green things. If you haven’t seen his wonderful slideshows, check them out when you have time.
__
On the board tonight:

__
1. Fish Tacos
__
2. Black Bean Tropical Salad
__
3. Butter Pecan Turtle Bars

As ever, recipes and shopping list at the link.

    There are good fish tacos and bad fish tacos (mostly deep fried fish sticks dumped into a tortilla).

    These sound like delicious very good fish tacos.

    On to our new chicken-based economy: we need a lot of chicken recipes and we need them quick, because only people in the healthcare industry will be able to eat them soon.

    We need to eat some chicken while we still can.

    Talkingpointsmemo does the math.

    Short conclusion: average person needs about fifteen hundred chickens a year, and there is a national 400 million chicken shortage.

    This why I like the Lowden spokeperson’s suggestion of goats, instead of chickens.

    Each goat is worth more. It’s easier to walk the goat to the doctor’s office. Goats are less picky eaters. I want to emphasize that I know nothing about other advantages of dealing with goats.

    Good, eat, because I think we’ll need the energy tomorrow after todays epistemic epidemic. Looks to be some grand economic / Wall Street / Rating Agency stuff coming out of the Senate panel. Nice quotable stuff. December 15, 2006, S&P e mail: “Rating agencies continue to create an even bigger monster — the CDO market. Let’s hope we are all wealthy and retired by the time this house of cards falters.” Check out Documents Show Internal Qualms at Rating Agencies (NYT) or link to more via CR post Senate Panel: Rating Agencies Traded Fees for Ratings. 500 pages to be released and chomped on if you like that kind of thing. Simply brilliant what with the Senate Wall Street reform vote being possibly held up over the weekend.

    This sounds very very delicious! If I was not soaking the basmati to go under my palak paneer, I’d be tempted to go out and try it! As it is, I’ve tucked the fish taco salsa recipe away for later :-)

    One suggestion… if you are in a Sanibel location as well as state of mind… is pompano. I love that fish! I love tuna and halibut as well, but pompano is so buttery and flavorful! and it cuts into strips that fit perfectly into the taco. Unfortunately, I’ve only ever seen it fresh on the SE coast and in the gulf. Up here in the colder northeast, it’s rare to see it.

    I was going to comment on the dandelion/bird feeder thread, but that thread blew up and there’s no comment box anymore.

    Just wanted to echo SIA’s comments about making sure you use decent bird food in your new feeders. If you buy a cheap mix with tons of millet, you’ll wind up with a yard full of House Sparrows, which are the dandelion of the bird world. They’re a non-native species that kills baby native birds to take over their nests.

    The Safflower that SIA suggested is a good choice with the benefit that Squirrels don’t like it. If you use a mix, make sure it’s Black Oil Sunflower based. If you find that you’re attracting hordes of House Sparrows, take down the feeders for a week and then switch foods. Having a flock of House Sparrows around is the bird equivalent of living next to a crack house.

    @Yutsano: After thinking about it, drafting Tebow was a pretty good job security move on McDaniels part. As long as ownership thinks that McDaniels has a chance to develop Tebow they will keep him even if the current team is not performing. Instead of being fired after his 6-10 finish this year he might make it all the way to the end of 2012.

    He cannot stop swearing about how amazingly stupid those creatures are.

    As a country boy who grew up on a farm, I can tell you that sheep are the most stupid creatures on the planet, and vindictive fuckers to boot. In fact they are quite similar to teabaggers.

    I fucking hate sheep, except as meat.

    ETA – Turkeys come second. My mother once lost thirty turkeys because they all climbed into a 44 gallon drum to shelter from the rain, when then filled up and drowned them all. I also once saw a turkey have a heart attack because a leaf fell off a tree. Fuckers.

    @Yutsano:
    I am so speechless about this asshat move that I can’t imagine what it means for Joshy. I beginning to wonder if Bowlen is slipping into senility.

    edit – Not to mention the Broncos are being made fun of at Tbogg’s and that’s just painful cuz I can’t even blame him.

    Damn it. WTF are my Vikes doing? Tebow in the first round? Ugh. As for the Evony ads, I appreciate a healthy bosom as much as anyone, but they skeeve me out. Shudder.

    Oh, fuck me. The Vikes are playing the Brett Favre off-season waiting game. Fuuuuuuuuck meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    Hi, FH #1 and #2. How y’all tonight? Please put me out of my Favre-misery. kthxbai.

    @Tattoosydney: Turkeys are amazingly stupid birds. Although if it makes you feel better it’s only the domestic birds that are like that. Wild turkeys are both very very clever and much tastier than their domesticated cousins. I shudder to think of what would happen if my mom’s border collie got around a flock of turkeys. That could be tragic.

    @IndyLib: Like I said, you can only sell crazy like a fox so far before you start looking amazingly foolish. I think there will be repercussions.

    @Yutsano: Oh man. Wild turkeys (no reference to the alky), are some sneaky, clever lil bitches.
    Of course, they still seem to succumb to a nicely placed 12 gauge, but they do try quite a bit more than their cousins.
    Sneaky lil mofos, no doubt. But tasty.

    @Corner Stone: When they don’t feel threatened though they are some bold shits. (I almost said little there but since they’re pretty damn big birds that doesn’t fit.) I was in northern Georgia with a friend (the whole trip is a long story) and we were driving around in the hills when we saw a turkey standing in the middle of the highway. We slowed down to give the tom time to cross, but he just lazily strolled across the way. Nothing we could do would get that bird to move, not even touching the bumper on his beak or honking the horn. Finally he got out of the way. As we drove past we saw there were others in the brush next to the road. It was definitely one of my neater experiences down there.

    @Corner Stone: Well, I’m not a huge Pink fan (although from time to time, someone sends me a YT link to something or other she’s done and I’m all, “Damn!“) but of all the non-Freddie covers out there, I think she’s made one of the best.

    I dare not, for fear of sounding like Brick Oven Bill.

    Speaking of which, I am pleased to see that his banning appears to be continuing.

    @Tattoosydney: There are some parts of our past that are best off staying there. Although I’m not all that shy, I’d just as soon let it come up naturally and enjoy the various reactions of surprise and/or disgust. Plus you never know when a good zinger from your childhood will come in handy.

    I feel like he’s Beetlejuice and he’ll come back if we keep saying his name. I’m actually more happy the disrespecter of aimai’s grandfather is gone. That was definitely a banning I could get behind.

    You mean his sin binning?

    No, I think it came about due to his “work will make you free” moment…

    @Tattoosydney: Apparently I’m really bad at ignoring advice while I’m on pain drugs. I just applied for two jobs in the last half an hour, both of which I have a decent shot of even being considered for. It would definitely be bizarre if I got a call back for either one of them, especially since my voice hasn’t shown any signs of returning yet. It was still kinda fun.

    @Corner Stone: Upstanding.

    Josh Green on Tebow pick: “Horrible, horrible pick. He’ll flame out in three years, get elected to Congress.”

    Which is more depressing, huh? Tebow in Denver or Tebow in House?!
