Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Pasta Party, Cont.

Apparently, a solid pasta dinner fortifies the party and gives them endurance. In other words, everyone is still here, so I thought I would throw up an offering for you all:

    Well, you can pretty much kiss your endorsement from People For The Ethical Treatment of Insects a big fat-ass goodbye.

    “everyone is still here”

    I guess that is why there are no comments.

    Hey, I’m not there.

    Tunch probably ate my portion already, so never mind.

    Out here on the left coast, it is long stem artichoke night.

    I guess “everyone’ really is at Cole’s house stuffing themselves with home made pasta.

    Good that one lone brave commenter stands guard, watching the horizon for the next catastrophe.

    Feingold For Governor: Scott Walker & WI GOP’s War On Good Beer

    The WI GOP and Walker are going after craft brewers.

    Better contribute to those recall elections.

    And yes, I know this is from FDL, but they had a link to ZZ Top, so it was obviously worth checking out.

    I don’t remember BJ ever having a link to ZZ Top. Feh…

    If you’re throwing up an offering after a big pasta dinner, I’m not sure I want what’s on offer!

    If you follow eating policies that allow you to drink more doesn’t that just mean you will drink more and be more hungover the next day?

    I think the following advice misses this point and is mainly about how not to throw up.

    Ehow: How to Prevent Alcohol Poisoning
    __
    Some people find drunkenness humorous, even when a person is vomiting and passing out after a night of partying. But alcohol poisoning is no laughing matter and can be life-threatening. Preventing alcohol poisoning is best done before the situation gets out of hand. Follow these steps to prevent alcohol poisoning
    __
    Difficulty: Moderate
    __
    Instructions:
    __
    1) Eat before drinking alcohol. Pasta, bread and crackers are foods that can absorb the alcohol and slow its entry into your system. Drink plenty of water and stay away from carbonated drinks as they can make matters worse. Snack in between each drink, allowing absorption.

    @MonkeyBoy:
    Wouldn’t the easy solution be to avoid drinking to excess? I realize this is both tricky and takes the fun out of the process, but the best rule is to decide how much you can drink while you’re still sober and stick to your limit. This also works to avoid nasty hangovers.

    John, make sure you don’t put any uneaten pasta down the garbage disposal. My plumber swears that’s a nono.

    Uh-oh. G will need to stock up on New Glarus while we’re there this summer before they get driven out of business.
