Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

I was promised a recession.

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

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

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

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

In my day, never was longer.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

I really should read my own blog.

Early Morning Open Thread

by Anne Laurie|  June 7, 20102:31 am| 36 Comments

This post is in: Music, Open Threads

FacebookTweetEmail

I had a lame joke about Back Bay / Financial Center commuters never looking anywhere near as hot as the “commuters” in Kylie Minogue’s new video, but the embedding has been disabled for that video. So I can give you some upbeat music for a Monday morning…

… but you’re going to have to go to YouTube to get the visuals for All The Lovers, and it is NSFW (unless you have quite a relaxed work environment).

    Ooooh, you’re posting my guilty pleasure (Kylie Minogue). I, um, need to go do something. I’ll be back. Yeah….

    P.S. I am forever grateful to FH#1, TattooSydney for sending me that video about a week ago.

    Hmm…methinks Anne Laurie agreed with my verdict regarding this thread. Or WP just committed a massive error that somehow selectively deleted the controversy in this thread. This could be an interesting night.

    @Bill E Pilgrim: Yes, but Glenzilla is shrill because shut up that’s why!

    @Yutsano: WP is clearly taking sides. Which one, I’m not sure.

    Edit: Heh. Now your comment refers to mine that I deleted, once I saw that thread cleansing was taking place. And figured that it was a good idea so I’d go along.

    New sport: speed commenting. The aim is to get someone to comment on something that you then delete.

    Goal!

    @Bill E Pilgrim: I have to admit it: I absolutely LOVE it when someone on the Internet gets off on calling me an anti-Semite for criticizing Israel for being dumbasses. It’s usually about then I drop the bomb that not only is my father Jewish, but my grandfather married a Jewish woman whose daughter has been an Israeli citizen for about a decade now. So if anyone has the right to criticize Israel, it’s those like me for whom it directly affects. I’m certain aimai has a similar familial background.

    @Bill E Pilgrim: I don’t know if you saw the comment that got eaten by WP (possibly, but anyway FYWP!) but I said I would drop the subject. Maybe I’ll live up to that standard.

    @Yutsano:

    if you saw the comment

    I think I did but I really have no idea now. I think I’m commenting in some sort of space time continuum warp at this point, where comments appear and disappear, not sure if this is yesterday or what time, day, or year it is.

    But so anyway, do you think Kerry can win Ohio? Did you see what that right wing blogger John Cole wrote about that the other day?

    Incidentally the HT thread is going to 400 comments. I’m calling it now.

    i wonder if steve jobs would send a hit squad after me if i started referring to the topic y’all are meta-discussing as the i-word. any place the subject comes up it’s mere mention creates more controversy than it seems is due.

    I guess it’s naughty to bring up uncomfortable subjects (like John’s defense of Helen Thomas’ Israeli annihilation fantasy) in open threads.

    In fact, let’s pretend he didn’t say it at all, even though it’s still there, a couple posts below this one. It’s more comfortable that way.

    June 7, 2010 at 4:14 am

    @Tattoosydney: HT = Helen Thomas, also known as the orgiastic luvfest that is the Profile in Courage thread. AKA the thread I’m not touching with a ten foot pole.

    @Phil: I would highly suggest getting off the cross. We have need of the lumber. Oh and we didn’t censor you asshole. Now stop harshing our mellow.

    Not to drag this thread back to the original point or anything, but your YouTube link at the bottom of the post now states that EMI controls the content of the video and has had it removed. Is there another link available?

    @asiangrrlMN: I suppose it’s about time for a vowel renewal. Then a long honeymoon in Taiwan and Australia. Then putter around wherever.

    @Americanadian: Bastards. It seriously was working not more than half an hour ago. That kinda bites. I’ll do a little scrounging around.

    I think a marriage should have consonants also. Better than dissonance anyway.

    @Bill E Pilgrim: Screw consonants. Hawai’ian does just with only seven of them. And it’s actually a very expressive language even with that supposed deficit. Plus it’s VERY cool to listen to. Apparently my birthplace pride is showing. This also means I shouldn’t be posting this damn late, but my show is almost over then I’m going to tuck myself in.

    @JMC in the ATL: Please don’t encourage the child. Persecution complexes are never attractive.

    Oh my, not only consonants, you’re starting to lose entire words now! I think you’re right.

    Just teasing BTW, but I assume you know that. I thought it was cute.

    @Bill E Pilgrim: Ahem. Please note the caveat below that:

    This also means I shouldn’t be posting this damn late

    plus work was a total fucking bitch today. I’ll survive though. I just need my three co-workers to have their children and see if that maybe adjusts some things. Actually my boss who’s pregnant is still amazingly cool, but you have to respect someone who still insists on working with MS.

    And yeah I’m fully aware you’re teasing. It’s par for the course however, we have gently ribbed you for posting before being sufficiently caffeinated before. :)

    @Americanadian:

    “You’re going to be in your underwear making out with an attractive stranger, who will also be wearing nothing but skivvies. Any questions?”

    Three words. Sign. Me. Up. Most had decent bodies, but they weren’t all perfect California clones. I’d fit right in there somewhere.

    June 7, 2010 at 4:53 am

    @asiangrrlMN: Thanks. That was a solid cap to a night of good sushi and cheap alcohol. Although I rather regret missing the casting call for extras in the video:

    “You’re going to be in your underwear making out with an attractive stranger, who will also be wearing nothing but skivvies. Then you will form a large writhing pyramid while continuing to eschew all clothing except the bare minimum required to avoid an X rating. Any questions?”

    Good night one and all.

    June 7, 2010 at 4:58 am

    @Americanadian: I would have loved to be an extra in that vid. Night, all. I am turning myself in, too.

    @Yutsano: Damn. I didn’t even catch that. Then again, Bill E is in the blush of his day, while I am in the faded withering droops of mine.

    Night, all.

    Yutsano

    June 7, 2010 at 5:03 am

    @asiangrrlMN: Heh. You would have done it just for the opportunity to feel Kylie up. I know how you is, there is no point in denial of that fact.

    I go sleep now too. Night y’all.

    You know, I love you Americans, and I know that the video is sexy, but honestly, it has people in their underwear kissing! That’s it. No actual sex, no dangly or squishy bits. In Australia, that’s not NSFW – that’s just Kylie being cute.

    @Tattoosydney: Unfortunately we’re prudes.

    I think this one’s just good clean fun. “Slow” was a lot more suggestive, in my opinion (in a good way, of course).

    @ Anne: After two years of Wollaston to South Station and vice versa every day, most definitely not that attractive.

    @Tattoosydney:

    but sex is so much more fun when it is dirty, really we aren’t prudes so much as we are kinky, we just lack imagination that is all. we have to go for the cheap high of “forbidden” rather than the ballgags, feathers and buttplugs of the enlightened world.

    it is NSFW (unless you have quite a relaxed work environment).

    That reminds me of something Rich Kyanka once said regarding forum rules. “A photo of a huge black dildo is obviously not safe for work, unless you happen to work in a huge black dildo factory.”
