Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

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

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

T R E 4 5 O N

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Because I screwed up the attribution last time. Also too, I can’t be the only person bored with discussion of any penis not attached to a loved one’s torso…

    This should generate some construction jobs.

    3.1 million square feet, 1/4 mile in diameter – about the size of the Pentagon. Looks like they might be using Bloom Boxes for power, too.

    Saw a friend tonight whose son was just signed earlier today by the SF Giants! He’s off to Scottsdale AZ this weekend. She (friend) is over the moon and wasted no time in transferring 20 years of Braves fandom to the other coast. Pretty exciting stuff.

    At least it’s on home ice for Game 5.

    Ed Rollins, who is Michelle Bachmann’s chief strategist, actually said this:

    Bachmann will “be so much more substantive,” Rollins said. “People are going to say, ‘I gotta make a choice and go with the intelligent woman who’s every bit as attractive.’”

    I mean, a) he just called Sarah Palin stupid (no argument there) but then he also thinks voters care about how attractive the candidates are? Is he talking about physical appearance here (of course he is) or is he going to say he’s using “attractive” in the broader sense of the word?

    Do political strategists talk about how attractive Mitt Romney is? Chris Christie?

    Luongo is having one of his periodic meltdowns. Sure wish he’d had one when we played the Canucks.

    I’m distracting myself with the Hindi SF blockbuster, Enthiran. The robot cobra made it worth it.

    Glad to see it’s a company that actually makes something investing in its infrastructure. And in liberal teacher’s union loving California. You know, the place where CARB and high taxes are driving Jobs Creators out of state!

    @handy: Actually, their biggest investments have been in retail. Long-term leases or building purchases, actual architecture, and lots and lots of retail employees. On average, most retail outlets have one staff per 800 square feet. Apple has one staff per 20 square feet. That’s a lot of jobs.

    Watch the original Tamil version, rather than the Hindi dub, if you are just reading the subtitles anyway.

    Luongo is having one of his periodic meltdowns. Sure wish he’d had one when we played the Canucks.

    I’ll have to tell my daughter (a quasi-fanatical Bs fan (sorry for the redundancy)) that “meltdown” is the new way of saying “no glove side”. Hell, Johnny Pesky could put one by Luongo’s glove.

    Maybe the Canucks can borrow Brodeur? For just the next three games? He went downhill this year, unfortunately, but he’s still pretty decent.

    Of course, the reason the “Canucks” will lose is not because the Bs will play better, but rather because God/FSM doesn’t like it when you call yourself “Canucks”, but you’re really just natives of a suburb of Seattle. True canucks are from Quebec, mon ami.
