Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The revolution will be supervised.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

The willow is too close to the house.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

I was promised a recession.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

The Ultimate Single Malt

This post is in: WTF?

A drink that brings a new meaning to the phrase “tastes like piss” uses sugar from the urine of elderly diabetics. (via, where else, Slashdot)

Snowbilly Chronicles

This post is in: Bring on the Brawndo!

Here’s the Vanity Fair Palin profile of Sarah Palin. There’s really nothing new here, but it is all in one place. It’s just more evidence she’s a financial, personal and political trainwreck who couldn’t withstand the kind of scrutiny the press routinely gives to other candidates, but can’t or won’t give her.

Paypal Update

by John Cole|  September 1, 20108:09 am| 21 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads

A very nice human being emailed me and gave me detailed instructions on what to do. Basically, the problem was/is Experian being unable to verify my address (probably because of my move), so I will be on the phone with them today at some point (depending on how things go, we may have a new worst company in the world). I’ll let you know how it works out, but right now, it is just nice to be out of the paypal infinite loop of computer-automated response.

And really, that is all I wanted. Someone to just tell me what to do. This might work out well in the end for me, but what do people without my resources (a complete lack of shame, a rather large mouth, and a website) do to resolve this. If I worked at paypal, this would be something I would think about.

I’m off to get a crown on a molar. Knowing that I now have to deal with Experian makes that the second worst thing I have to do today.

The old ones are getting all full.

And I wanted to give a public thank-you to commentor Asiangrrrl, because I’m really lovin’ Girlyman:

I love vocal harmonies, especially those with a woman’s voice leading the way. And this song just feels “summery” to me.
