Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Come on, man.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

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

I really should read my own blog.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Awesome. Whoever suggested Kerem for breakfast wins a point. About dinner, I will probably never find a place that half of you think is either (a) on a downhill slide, (b) overrated, or (c) nowhere near as awesome as some even more obscure place right next door, but a credible appeal was made for Meskerem around 18th and Columbia and for 8 rather than 7:30. As before, email if you think you can make it.

    Always on the lookout for a good breakfast place. No search results for “Kerem”: could that be Keren, on Florida Ave.?

    Food for breakfast? Whatever happened to coffee?

    Meskerem? Meskerem? What. The. Fuck.

    I can’t believe this. I thought I’d seen every betrayal known to man since January 20, 2009. I thought I’d been disrespected, kicked in the teeth, taken for granted and thrown under the bus in every way a loyal Democrat could be.

    But this? This is the end. I can’t take this any more. I told you which restaurant was the best one last night. I told you which was the right one. And you ignored me. Well, screw you. I’m going to go to my restaurant tonight. Mine. And then I’m going to change my party affiliation to Green. Or maybe Petulant. Whichever makes me feel more self righteous. Then I’m going to sit out the presidential election. That’ll teach you. You freaking people. You’re dead to me. Dead. To. Me. Chew on that, O-bots.

    I think Meskerem is overrated. ;-) But even overrated Ethiopian places in the DC area are pretty damn good, and I can’t join you anyway, so you don’t need to consider my opinion. It’ll be yummy; enjoy!

    If you like French food a couple of choices:

    Monmartre near Eastern Market – 327 7th St SE – and they also run a great sandwich/pizza shop next door called 7th Hill Pizza.

    Also… Bistro Cacao at 320 Massachusets Ave NE.

    How many days are you in DC? I will be there on Thursday and perhaps Wednesday.

    Cheers

    @Casey: “Also… Bistro Cacao at 320 Massachusets Ave NE.”

    I bet they make SURE the second ‘o’ in their neon sign does not burn out.

    Meskerem is good. There used to be a place directly across the street called Fasika’s that was arguably better, but it closed. I think it had a fire.

    Have you considered Soylent Green?

    Yes, This Modern World has moved over to the GOS, but I still love reading Tom Tomorrow. It fit’s this post to, Congressman Ryan turning the elderly into Soylent Green. Got to town….

    Meskerem is fine. We ate there a few weeks ago after an event at the art center. My conclusion was that it was a fine place to go to if you were trying to get out of the rain, as we were, but if you were coming from elsewhere you’d be better off at Etete.

    That said, I think Meskerem has more seating so if you want to not wait around or need to accommodate a larger group it’s probably the way to go.
