Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

The revolution will be supervised.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Republicans don’t trust women.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

    Please tell me you at least got to talk with Markos. Though I have a feeling he’d end up a bloody stump afterwards.

    I think it’s some kind of trick. They are all good looking, happy, smiling, people.

    How could any of them be bloggers!

    Huh?

    I guess neither blogger (whoever they are) is Kay. No BJ gear in sight.

    I cannot imagine Kay braving the Great Orange Satan fest without wearing Tunch ‘Obey’ gear.

    Are we going to get captions as to who these people are?
    Or is the answer obvious and I’m too tired to think of it?

    @Amanda: I could buy that Kay is the redhead. Though I think she identified herself as a blonde once. I could be mistaken however.

    @Yutsano: I was not there, but I can assure you that Kay is not in those photos, from having met her on Friday.

    Yutsano

    @Tovarishch Kevin: I’m teasing on that point anyway. Kay said earlier there would be no face portraits of BJers shown by mutual agreement. I’m willing to respect that wish.

    I had planned on going to that event, but I felt tired, and wasn’t sure I could do it, yet I’m here, commenting. D’oh.

    I’m going to the Twins game tomorrow, which should be pretty cool, and may be the highlight of my trip, after the Balloon Juice meet-up, that is.

    @Tovarishch Kevin: I shall wish you well with the assumption that Joe Mauer will still continue to break my heart. I hope he’s saving up enough for the inevitable knee replacements he will need in the future. Catching is rather rough on the knees.

    Did my comment get eted? My comment got eted. FYWP.

    EDIT: Which it now did twice. Fuck. You. Word. Press. No really.

    Comrade Kevin

    @Yutsano: I understand your comments about Mauer and catching, it reminds me of Kurt Suzuki.

  17. 17.

    Yutsano

    @Tovarishch Kevin: I used to make the joke about Kurt Suzuki that my Japanese Suzuki is better than your Japanese Suzuki. It’s not as funny now that Ichiro is slumping. And the really funny part is folks are wondering why. HE’S THIRTY-FUCKING-SIX YEARS OLD!! The body naturally slows down as we age. Dumbasses.

    The Apollo 11 voyage to the moon and safe return to Earth in 1969 is more convincing than Kay’s bodily presence at Netroots Nation in Minneapolis in 2011.

    Yes! I’m finally a part of a nefarious conspiracy!

    I don’t know what you’re doing, but your reply-fu is epic fail in this thread. None of your links work for me, at least.

    Stupid but foolproof (I hope) reply-fu:

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

    Replace LINK with the (copied) link next to the person’s comment. Replace PERSON’S NAME with the name of that commenter.

    When will our long national editing nightmare be over?

    Kay,

    Can you see, if you can get answers to these important questions:

    Is the redhead single?

    Would she be interested in dating a liberal, overweight, Indian man?

    Looking forward to your reply ;-)

    Hmm..The red head is not a blogger since she doesn’t have an orange lanyard on. At least that’s my guess.

    I do recognize the lady in the top picture, as she is one of my fellow Saturday Morning Garden bloggers over at DK, and the man is familiar, but I met so many people, I can’t possibly keep all of the names straight.
    I didn’t stay long for the party, it was REALLY, REALLY dark in the bar and you could barely move, and I’m just not a crowd person.
    Glad to be heading home today, but I had a great time.

    Count me as one of those people who is intently interested in who the adorable redhead with the great smile is.

    Huh? What Kos party?

    I’ll wager that the two smiling people with the red lanyards in the top photo are the bloggers, and the redhead with the awesome earring is not.
