Banner’s gone all funky. Kind of like it, though.
ETA: and then I post and it’s back to normal.

Should we unplugged our speakers?

You should know by now that the BJ crowd will take this as a challenge.

Congratulations, Rand Paul! You just won a $100 gift card to Wal*Mart!

Whenever I see a picture of Rand Paul, I always think that he’s gone wet-look crazy.

The randomized click-enabled subtitle in the header has moved from below to above Balloon-Juice. Is that deliberate or a fluke? Firefox 3.6.3 on XP at work, btw.

Ad guru, pshaw. It’s Tunch and he’s got you tied up, and everything is gonna be funky till Tunch gets bored.

aiieiee!!! things are different! i hate change! what does this smell like?

@Nethead Jay: It’s moving all over for me. Sometimes in the correct place, sometimes above the title. Last time I loaded the page, it initially placed it next to the article title.

PROOF! that Obama is weak.
Jonathan Alter has the inside story on how RAHM and the military push the black Jimmy Carter around.
Plus, an EXPLOSIVE expose on how Obama sold you out on HCR!

I thought this essay was pretty interesting:

I glad to see the back of Arlen, but I’m gonna ask the same thing I asked last night.
The BIG QUESTION is:
How will Arlen vote for the remainder of his term? Dude seems like the type of hold a grudge, but who will he hold a grudge against?

Question: I got a pop up saying Balloon Juice was surveying its readers, or something like that. Did you order that and would it be useful for you if we filled it out? Or is it something else unrelated to you?

@Mike Kay: Ooops, here’s the correct link.

I hate these new ads. These new ads are the worst ads ever. They suck. They scare my dog, and my daughter, and they scare me, too! I demand that you get rid of these new ads forthwith. And how can you live with yourself, selling yourself this way? You should be ashamed. You’re nothing but a sellout, and you’re an O-bot, too.
By the way, what are the new ads?

This site has given me hives. I demand redress! Well, I would take red dress if it were to be presented to me while being worn by the new Ms USA.

Hey, what happened to blond newswoman pitching i-pad discounts in her ever changing blouses (the color changed, and she went from sleeveless to sleeves) on different sites?
She was very, very cute!

Hey John, how about adding some BJ mugs to the store with, say, the top five rolling tag lines?
I’d love a BJ mug that offers the banner plus the tag line about tasty lettuce, etc. is not elitist…
the one about the refuge for the snarling mass of jackals is quite the winner too

@NickM:
-Rahm- Rand Paul is all class.

I was going to say something rude but then…
duckies!!!
PurpleGirl
@Mumphrey: LOL
I’m at home, using WinXP (home version) with FireFox 3.6 and the tag line is over Balloon Juice. It looks nice but if you plan to keep it there, John, it needs a few more points of space between the tag and Balloon Juice.

@Poopyman:
Any bets on how many of Grayson’s voters switch to the Dem? I say 90 percent…
Third Eye Open
So you dropped Wal-Mart, a heartland company, for some elitist L.L. Bean? From now on, you will be known as Major Charles Emerson Winchester III.
Poopyman
@PaulW: 90 percent seems a little optimistic.
But just a little.
Nethead Jay
@Mike Kay: @Mike Kay: Hahaha, your link-fu is as weak as your troll-fu. You do know that’s from Countdown Monday so I and any other BJ’ers who watch Olbermann saw that a day and a half ago. Alter’s book does sound quite interesting, but it’s not quite unknown stuff, though maybe to you. But don’t let that distract you from the usual shtick…
The Moar You Know
@lamh32: This could not come as a shock to him; his conduct during the Thomas confirmation hearings alone pretty well assured that he’d never have a safe home in the Democratic party.
But yeah, he is one mean son-of-a-bitch, he has no love for Dems and the GOP fucked him over but good, so I wouldn’t put it past him to jam up the works regardless of what party is trying to get something done.

Oh, just say the nasty things and get it over with. You know you want to.

Please say nasty things.

@Mike Kay:
I’m at work and can’t watch, what did Alter say? I got his book last night and going to start reading soon.
Mike Kay
@Nethead Jay: how do you type with a straight-jacket on? do you use your toes or your nose?
Poopyman
@burnspbesq:
Yeah, it’s better to let it out rather than holding it in until the explosion.
Although for us the explosions are much more entertaining.

I demand the alien-lesbian-pr0n Curvy ads back! NAO!

“or I will say nasty things”
Oh good! That means I can get off of the pc and get some needed house and yard work accomplished on a rare day off.
Mike Kay
@strawmanmunny:
1. everyone, from Biden to the council of economic advisers, begged him to completely punt on HCR.
2. confronting the pentagon that parallels the Truman-MacArthur showdown.
in short, the roadside is littered with people who underestimated the skinny black guy with the funny name.
Ash Can
@PaulW: I saw a figure somewhere this AM that 40% of Grayson’s voters intend to vote for Paul in the general, and 43% do not. Then again, who knows what will happen when the chips are down?

I liked the fancy J. Peterman ad from yesterday. Free shipping on orders over $100! Possibly one item in the store for sale at less than $100.

@Mike Kay:
Thanks.
I’m hoping the book will be good. I have read Richard Wolff’s from the election and thought it was pretty good. Hopefully Alter’s will be.

Love the World Soccer Shop ads.
Your ads are linked to cookies because I’m getting a lot of World Soccer Shop, eBay, Marvel and Amazon ads and they are all sites I visited in the last 24 hours.

What’s the name of the French newsreader woman who’s beautiful face is appearing in a whole bunch of net ads?
Linda Featheringill
@Rosalita: That’s a good idea. Maybe three sayings/cup or something.
