Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

So many bastards, so little time.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Everybody saw this coming.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Open Thread: Thursday Night Menu

From our Food Goddess, TaMara:

I’m always looking for something different to do with pasta that is flavorful and moves away from the traditional tomato based sauces of my childhood. Tonight’s main course is just that. Butternut squash with a bit of heat and a bit of sweet, all brought together by smoky bacon and creamy chèvre. Finish off the meal with a light, sweet Panna Cotta Parfait. Panna Cottas are traditionally molded desserts, but I think we been doing this together long enough that you know I’m all about keeping it simple. And Panna Cotta is as simple as it gets, unless of course you choose to mold it, then a thousand things can go wrong between placing it in the ramekin and serving it to your guests. Thanks but no thanks, it looks quite elegant in a wine glass, topped with a pretty berry topping. And I don’t have to worry that the last 5 minutes of prep are going to leave me with a blob of great tasting shapelessness on a plate. But that’s just me.

    Don’t know if people have seen this, but I’ll throw it out there: trailer for The King’s Speech II. Apologies if this is old news.

    You trace the bomb threat back, and lo and behold, it’s G.Gordon Liddy or Jeb Magruder.

    I think the Bacon and Squash Campanelle (whatever one of those is) would go well with my ambrosia. My secret is putting in some canned peach instead of half of the pineapple, and throwing in some candied cherries.

    I don’t make it much since my husband died.

    It brings back bad memories, and I have to remember to cut the marshmallows up small in case someone else chokes to death.
