Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Consistently wrong since 2002

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

People are complicated. Love is not.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

    I hope you’re feeling better after you get some rest. I spent time in an ER back in November and I know it can be tiring just from the waiting to be helped.

    Hope your recovery goes well. In other Nixon news, The Doctor referred to him as “Tricky Dick” last night. The 18 minute gap was not addressed.

    @gnomedad: No, but he did suggest Dick record everything that occurred in the Oval Office from then on.

    Speedy recovery AL.

    What a bummer, Anne: hope your hand – especially the typing parts – heals quickly and painlessly (as possible).

    Don’t worry about Tricky Dick: he isn’t going anywhere, and neither are we!

    I hope you recover quickly with no lasting effects.

    @PurpleGirl:

    Shame on you PurpleGirl, this is the United States of America. There is no waiting in our health care system. They wait in other countries; not in America. In Canada, for example, it would have taken at least six months for Anne to receive emergency treatment and the doctor would have been so incompetent that he or she would have probably amputated Anne’s hand. — Signed Any Truth-loving Republican

    Hey hey hey, gnome dad, SPOILERS (imagine River’s voice.). Some of us havent watchedthat yet!

    AL feel better, heal quickly.

    Get better very soon, AL. But don’t push it. These things take time to heal up, and pushing it only prolongs the process in the end.

    What a lousy way to spend a Saturday night. I wish you a quick recovery and hope you are not just being stoic and it truly was minor surgery.

    The ER? My god, whatever weird cosmic karma Cole has that causes him to visit an ER every six months after another random accident (dislocating his shoulder while walking his dog, accidentally disemboweling himself with a paper cut while reading the Sunday paper, etc.) is apparently contagious and has spread to the other front-pagers!

    Hope you get better soon.

    Annie: plz get better soon.

    You Canadian? Nice to hear about the health care.

    Hope you get better soon.

    Give the hand plenty of time to heal. You really don’t want to rush it and then have permanently diminished function.

    Of course, you are welcome to lurk at any time. :-)

    Oh, bummer. Fast healing to you- hands are nothing to mess with. Maybe we Whovians will take over an open thread (after leinie has had a chance to watch). It was nice of DW to give us the REAL reason Nixon started taping everything. ;)

    Oh my. Sorry to hear about this mishap and adding my good wishes for a speedy recovery to the Greek chorus.

    A tax cut should help speed recovery.

    Seriously, I hope you are on the mend.

    Arclite

    Get better soon, it *sounds* minor, I hope it is.

    What’s up with that 12 hour wait? I blame Mitt.

    Gina

    Rest the hand, but maybe consider getting voice recognition software. Go for one that’s really incompetent – imagine the comedy possibilities!

    Oh, and WTH happens to make hand surgery an emergency, the possibilities are so gruesome.

    Gardening accident?

    I had a hand injury as a result of punk-rocking fun many yrs. ago. The doctor was poking around looking for damage when he severed one of the ligaments. Not sure how much my insurance covered (May have met the deductible already that yr.) but I was never charged a penny for anything, including the physical therapy sessions at the doc’s office.

    Anyway, I hope you heal up real quick.

    SO Ssrah Palin was right liberal bloggers aren’t to face death panels under Obamacare and the liberal lamestream media doesn’t report it.
    Hurry up and get well soon.
