Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Republicans in disarray!

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while and now seems like a good time, in light of commenter ellaesther/Emily Hauser’s recent triumphs….do you have a blog? I’d like to add all the Balloon-Juice readers’ blogs to my RSS reader, I have about a dozen so far.

    I have no blog, but I will use this opportunity to pimp a benefit tomorrow afternoon/evening in the subruban NYC area to raise money for a scholarship in the name of a friend of mine from HS who died of brain cancer a couple years ago. I believe that Dwight Gooden, David Cone, Mickey Rivers and possibly Carl Everett will be there and/or are auctioning off items.

    I have a writers/librarian-themed blog Wittylibrarian and The Book With the Blue Cover at http://wittylibrarian.blogspot.com

    I have a political blog Amendments We Need, which started off as a place to toss out ideas for reforming government – meaning the need for new Amendments to the Constitution – but has evolved into a “OMFG STOP VOTING REPUBLICAN” blog. It’s at http://reformamendment.blogspot.com

    I post more to the Amendments We Need than the Wittylibrarian, although with NaNoWriMo coming up I may be posting there a lot.

    @Ailuridae: Thank you for saying that. I’ve considered it a few times. My dad and friends have suggested it as well.

    I have two big hangups about it:

    1) I really, really am not into putting my persona out there. I don’t facebook, etc. I’d need to work through that to a certain degree.
    2) I’m a tech snob when it comes to this kind of stuff, so I need to find the right hosting. My tolerance for FYWP issues on my stuff is below zero.

    Hardly seems fair, as I generally lack the fortitude to brave your comments section, but what’s wrong with a little pimping? (Oh right, the dignity.)

    Keifus writes!

    It was originally a writing experiment, but evolved into a blog of book reviews and an otherwise not-very-eclectic selection of items of interest. You get what you pay for.

    (I have also cross-posted the books at BTC news, but I’ve been really miserable about that lately.)

    @martha: I just took a quick glance at your blog and had to relay a story. About 10-12 years ago when I was living in Manhattan, my roommate’s granmother had Alzheimer’s or dementia of some sort. At the time I think she still recognized her husband but it had been a long time since she recognized the rest of her family. It was either Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur and the family all went to the grandparents house. For whatever reason, the grandmother woke up clear in the head. She recognized everyone and remembered all sorts of things from the past. Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly, it didn’t last and she quickly reverted to her previous state over the next couple days but it is an amazing story both for the experience my roommate’s family got to share and for what it says about the human brain and what it is capable of.

    Chimpanzee Tea Party is the name, and while it started in the heat of the 2008 election as a fairly weak political blog, it has morphed over the last couple years into a fairly weak food blog. I’ve posted some of my food pictures in open threads here and there, and the perspective is kind of an engineer semi-foodie who is learning to cook and trying to do the local foods thing.

    @martha: I know what you mean though it was kinda different with my father . He had a stroke that knocked out his speech as the dementia was kicking in so it was hard to tell exactly what was going on in his head towards the end. But there were still days where you could tell he was following along with what was going on and at least understood what we were talking about (even if he might be fuzzy about who the people in the stories were) and there were other days when you had no idea where he was.

    From time to time I treat it as a blog, posting a photo and venting my thoughts in the description. But for the most part it is where I post photographs of my Lego hobby.

    Which seems like a good opportunity to plug: Northwest Brickcon 2010! Taking place at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall the weekend of October 1st. I will be exhibiting a number of my works there, and there are public hours from 11am-3pm Saturday and Sunday where you can come and see some of the most incredible Lego creations in the country–some of which you may even have seen blogged elsewhere.

    It’s not all that difficult to build a fictional persona to blog under. Fat Charlie had a B.A. in Accounting from St. John’s and an MBA from NYU. He lived in Brooklyn and did asset management for people he didn’t talk about. He was divorced with a son who, coincidentally, is the same age as my kid.

    I blogged under an assumed name because I wanted to be able to say things that my clients wouldn’t like.

I’m always amazed by people who when confronted with their rather stunning ignorance throw their hands up rather than spending two minutes to learn something.

    Your comments here are embarrassing – they don’t show any breadth or depth of knowledge about anything. I just managed to read your last half dozen blog entries and, amazingly, your blog is even worse than your comments here.

    If you want to link your initially, plainly ignorant post on China financing US debt go ahead. People can make their own conclusions (and also enjoy the thorough fucking beat I gave you).

Every post gets a video – my last (too long ago) included Paul Simon and Willie Nelson doing An American Tune under my comments on the Park51 controversy. Please come by and take a look!

    My wife found a frog this morning. I just wanted to tell someone.

    Want more? Okay. We’re having a garage sale, as we’re moving to another hemisphere soon, and in the front yard is, among many other things, a round wooden table with one center leg with a bunch of worthless crap on it. And on that table the wife found a frog about half-an-inch long. Cutest little thing you ever saw. Brownish-green, with a stripe on either side of its head. How the hell did it get up on the table? It’s got one leg! I think I loved that frog.

    @General Stuck: Not to interject into you two’s kerfuffle, but on Alternet now there’s an interesting post called “The China Superpower Hoax.” The writer summarizes nicely several things about China I’ve seen here and there. Never forget, they are NOT a transparent society.

    DougJ-I am really enjoying looking at some of the BJer’s blogs. I bookmarked a few. Maybe this can be a semi regular feature like John’s artist post.

    I read here daily and have for years, but never comment (but I rarely comment anywhere). I love the smart political commentary and the pet pics. I have two blogs. One about our garden, baking and cats at: http://1bigtree.blogspot.com/ and another of collected vintage photos of cats and hot guys at: http://enotaipes.blogspot.com/ (the title ‘Sepiatone’ was already taken when I started). Lots of great pics on both, if I do say so myself.

    I usually only comment on dog-training posts and all things Minnesotan (but I have to admit, the Bachman crazy train has kind of burned me out on even that), and usually get caught up in moderation. But I do have a blog! And I’m enjoying reading other’s blogs as well, so thanks for this thread.

    I’m kind of embarassed to post my blog, because pretty much every link roundup I do has at least one “Via Balloon Juice” hit on it. I rip off a lot of shit from you guys (but always credit you!). But if you’d like to read a blog that always starts out with some innocent snarky joke and ends in “OMG WE’RE ALL DOOMED” as the drink count piles up, here ya go: Do What Now?

    Wow. And we knew Emily when. The notoriety doesn’t surprise me, though; she’s outstanding.

    As for me, I had a blog once upon a time, but I came to the conclusion that my posts were boring me to tears, and I could only imagine what kind of effect they were having on my audience (both of them). So that was that.

    @Catsy: My son loves Brickworld, and the husband and I get a bang out of it too. Do you ever make the trip to the Chicago area for it?

    Just checking in. I have a “blog”, more like a (lack of) success-diary that keeps me coming back to it once a month or so since early 2008. Not a committed political blogger – I don’t have that kind of stamina – but a committed musician who sometimes talks about the process, but mostly it’s all about personal stuff.

    Anyway thanks for asking about us, I do not comment very often here, except in short forgettable bursts, or anywhere else, but I’ve been reading this blog and several others for years now.

    Emily L. Hauser/Ellaesther may be a big-shot mainstream blogger now, but we will always have fond memories of her as the Balloon Juice ampersand-hyphen-and-crowbar party girl. You can’t buy memories like that.

    @Ailuridae:

    I was actually thinking about doing something super dorky and esoteric that involves writing about following my two woeful NBA franchises (the Nets and Wolves) from a APBR perspective while also grousing about work but that would have a likely readership that would be quite small.

    Go with it. You can’t predict where it’s going to lead, and you shouldn’t try to. Who’da thunk that some guy’s cartoons about a big yellow sponge would be such a mega-hit (SpongeBob SquarePants)? That’s my favorite example of serendipity and following your dream, even if it’s a dorky dream.

    Well, my blogging has slowed of late, what with a relocation and a new job… but here it is:

    http://misterfurious.blogspot.com/

    Politics is almost a soul-sucking proposition of late, so I hope to bump up the photography, music and miscellany. We’ll see. Watching the first three seasons of Lost on DVD hasn’t helped my production either…

    My wife has surpassed me with a more frequent, far more popular and and much better journalesque blog on life: http://mrs-furious.blogspot.com/. Bonus for haters: she exposes me frequently for the buffoon I am in real life…
