Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

This fight is for everything.

Let me file that under fuck it.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

    Near the beginning when the first dah dahs show up I thought I heard some autotune artifacts, which had me prepared to hate it. Autotune to harmonize with yourself? But damn it, it was too catchy for my curmudgeon-ness.

    I generally hate Queen, but that was sort of mesmerizing.

    Unrelated to videos of people playing with themselves, Is Obama going to be in Wilmington, DE Saturday? I was checking NOTAMs today and noticed airspace there will be closed two hours for a VIP. Well, the TFR says VIP. The NOTAM says “national defense airspace. Pilots who do not adhere to the following procedures may be intercepted, detained and interviewed by law enforcement/security personnel”

    Although now that I think about it it makes more sense for it to be Joe.

    @Steepman. Hate…Queen? Our first fracture! How you be?

    @Yutsy, how you be, hon? I just finished my last post (honest!) roasting the Weiner. I’m spent.

    @asiangrrlMN:

    Just keepin’ it real and practicing my increasingly rusty HTML skills with FYWP. And dranking the purple drank tonight. Got another three-day weekend coming up (Sat-Mon), so after tomorrow night’s shift I’m off the hook. Yee-haw.

    How you doin’?

    @Steepman: Dood. How you do that? I tried to follow your advice from the last thread, but I think I’m missing something. Your link to my name no work, either. You fix!

    I’m aright. Kinda moody, but that’s no different than any other day.

    ETA: Wa-hooo on the three-day weekend.

    @wifey: You’re not alone. I’m just giving up because I’m not seeing what the Steepman says I should be seeing. Such is life I guess. Oh and the Dawg at work finds you rather intriguing. You came up in conversation.

    EDIT: Could you imagine the teeth gnashing if we lost both reply AND edit? The commentariat would asplode.

    I love Queen, and “Killer Queen” is probably my favorite song. Love this!

    @asiangrrlMN:

    My reply link to your previous message works for me. I no fix!

    Copy and paste this:

    @&#060a href=”LINK LOCATION” rel=”nofollow”&#062PERSON’S NAME&#060/a&#062:

    LINK LOCATION = what you get when you right-click on the “Link” button next to a comment and then “copy link location.” (Leave in the quotation marks in the snippet.)

    PERSON’S NAME = Steeplejack, for example.

    @Yutsano:

    This will also work, if you’re having problems with the other way:

    @&#060a href=”#comment-[COMMENT NUMBER]” rel=”nofollow”&#062PERSON’S NAME&#060/a&#062:

    Replace [COMMENT NUMBER] with the seven-digit number of the comment you are replying to, PERSON’S NAME with the name (as before).

  14. 14.

    asiangrrlMN

    June 17, 2011 at 2:33 am

    @Steepman: Oh, sure. Now your link works! And, merci! Fuck-a-duck. It no works for me.

    @Yutsy: Supposedly this works. We shall see. And, you have a Dawg at work? Why you talking about me? Tell! I’m curious.

    And, if we lost edit AND reply to at the same time, it’ll be Thunderdome up in here.

    June 17, 2011 at 2:37 am

    @asiangrrlMN:

    You’ve got that same hex shmutz at the end of your linky. Delete the %E2%80%9D after the comment number.

    But maybe you’re not seeing it because of your browser. Chrome, right?

    ETA: I’m guessing you might be able to go in and correct it with edit after the initial post. I have confidence in you. You are, after all, the woman who can magically reply to comments that come later in the thread.

  16. 16.

    asiangrrlMN

    June 17, 2011 at 2:37 am

    @Steepman:Testing, mofos!

    ETA: I use Chrome, yes. I don’t see any crap at the end. SIGH.

    Love Killer Queen and this vid is lots o’ fun. Well played.

    June 17, 2011 at 2:48 am

    @Steeplejack: Okay, one more go at this just to see what happens.

    EDIT: Bah. Fuck it. I’m just gonna wing it for now.

  19. 19.

    Steeplejack

    June 17, 2011 at 2:58 am

    @Yutsano:

    Is cool.

    One last suggestion: shmutz might show up if you copy the snippet into a text editor or word processor and look at it there. I keep Word open all the time and use it when I want to compose something longer than a sentence or two, and the hex shmutz–specifically, “%E2%80%9D”–shows up after the comment number on your link back to me.

    But that may be too much trouble for a problem that hopefully will be fixed soon.

    ETA: And I am off to bed soon. I still have to get through that last shift of the week tomorrow, and I have chores to perform beforehand. Steep out.

    @Steepman, night!

    ETA: You’re so cute, Steepman. I forgive you your Queen hatred.

    @Yutsy, tell me about the Dawg at work! And, you seem naturally attracted to Dawgs!

    @Steeplejack:

    Can’t let this go before I retire for the evening. The uneasiness of the nerd mind.

    The hex string E2809D denotes UTF-8 character encoding. Don’t know why FYWP is appending it to the link in your browser. Maybe your browser is doing it.

    That is all.

    @ wifey: I’m a Dawg magnet. I’ve just come to that conclusion. Being a Marine seems to inspire its own level of insanity. I somehow naturally empathize with that. It’s more of a sickness than a disease.

    The work Dawg has these amazing Native tattoos on his inner biceps, he’s maybe 160 pounds soaking wet, and he seems very intrigued by the fact you’re Taiwanese. He also cooks like a madman. He wants his own restaurant some day. I highly encourage this behavior.

    He also has a girlfriend. But he tends to talk about her more like she’s a piece of furniture than anything else. They do live together though.

    @Yutsy, Dawg magnet. There are worse things you could be! So, this Dawg likes the exotics, eh? But he cooks! That’s a bonus. He lives with his girlfriend! Uh, no. How the hell did I come up in conversation, anyway?

  25. 25.

    Yutsano

    June 17, 2011 at 3:20 am

    @ wifey: I have no idea now honestly. I think somehow we ended up talking about Minnesota, and of course I mentioned I had a fake wife there. This sparked much intrigue in him. I then mentioned later you were Taiwanese. The interest increased much more. I may have mistakenly mentioned you were taller than him, then I realized I was most likely mistaken on that point. It did not deter him in the slightest. But he has no criminal history, no kids (that I know of anyway) and he’s ebil gubmint worker like me. Oh and he has hair down to his butt.

  26. 26.

    asiangrrlMN

    June 17, 2011 at 3:23 am

    @Yutsy. Hair down to his butt? You titillate my interest. And, I’m five-five and a half. Huh. That’s pretty funny.

  27. 27.

    Yutsano

    June 17, 2011 at 3:27 am

    @ wifey: by his own admission he’s 5’7″ and 15/16ths. So we’re not talking Mitch Daniels here. But I did know he was shorter than me (I’m 5’9) but not by very much. So that adds up.

    He rebelled when he EASed. But he’s willing to shave his head if we invade Libya with bootsonnaground. Something about embodying the hymn or something. I think he just misses shooting indiscriminately.

    Alert that Rory McIlroy is 10 under par. At a US Open. At the 13th hole. I may have jinxed him now.
