Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

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

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

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

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

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

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

We’re not going back!

Let there be snark.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

    Hi, Kiddo. Nice bridges.

    Regardless of what the actual numbers are, I think it’s hot and muggy here. I ventured out and did a little yard work and crawled back into the house, huffing and puffing. Well, at least part of the lawn is a little less shaggy now. Tomorrow is another day.

    For the free market folks: I have read [forgot where] that this country hasn’t practiced free market capitalism since about 1890. Ever since that time, the fat cats have expected the government to get involved and help regulate the system to facilitate a flow of goods and services. [Also to make profits private and losses public but that’s another story.]

    One could think that every president since 1890 has cooperated with the government-as-nanny-for-big-business. But I guess it’s Obama’s fault anyway.

    I actually found the source for the article referenced in #1.

    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1036236/posts

    I was a bit off with the 1890 date. The article refers to the Progressive Period around 1900. I think I made that mistake because I associate that period with the 1890s as well, although I could be wrong.

    Interesting essay, by the way.

    I notice Glengarry Glen Ross garnered three spots on the 100 best movie insults of all time.

    And all that BEFORE David Mamet decided to take the side of the goat-fucking murderous Republican Ayn Rand vermin Alec Baldwin character.

    In which case, let me award Mamet second place – a set of cheap steak knives inserted up his ass one at a time by his orally talented mother.

    man I can’t wait to see what you decide to blow up when you’re having a really bad day :D

    After a coffee crisis this am, I spent the whole morning looking for the perfect 4-5 cup coffee maker (not manual) and finally, thanks to a tip-off from my old roommate and bestie I found the classic Melita Gevalia 4 cup brewer on ebay. Can’t wait to get it later in the week, nothing worse than excellent coffee gone to waste because of a no-longer-in-working-order machine.

    Sunny and kinda hot in DC and now that my back allows it I may even sit for a little bit in the balcony and read.

    One of my fav movie moments was the bridge blowing in Good, the Bad and the Ugly, with Tuoo sticking his butt up out of the bomb crater.

    and him saying “blow up the bridge and maybe these idiots will go somewhere else to fight”

    @2 Some Austrian wrote that. They have an economic nirvana based around the “Free Banking Era” that everyone else sane remembers as a period of incessant banking panics, fake banks that just robbed everyone and left and general chaos.

    the friend that was supposed to help me install my cabinets yesterday hasn’t come at all, much less called. I can’t figure out how to get to my thermostat or even how to remove the fricking radiator hose and nearly everyone who thought it would be awesome to get together for 4th for a bbq has either turned me down or just not responded to my invite. Plus getting closer to the end date for housing with no real clue in sight. I’d hate everything but I’m too despondent to hate.

    Ah, rumara #22.

    Poor baby.

    Why don’t you stick around, insult Jane Hamsher, and maybe John Cole will pick a fight with you?

    The thermostat is in a car? Is it included in the radiator cap mechanism? They used to be but that was back in the 17th century.

    Why do you want to remove a radiator hose?

    Do put on some music that you like.

    July 3, 2011 at 2:28 pm

    I’m trying to fix the all important transport and I think the issue could be the thermostat is broken and making it overheat. This is due to my mad car skills which involve…driving…putting gas in it and adding water to the reservoir. But if it was something to cook, I’d be gold.

    As far as Hamster, she can go peroxide something, I only care when they are actually doing something useful. John will have to just ask her out on a date like everyone else.

    You might get some real information from an auto parts stores. They frequently have people working there who really know about cars.

    On second thought, if you don’t know where the thermostat is, you probably don’t have tools.

    Linda, I have a spanner, a flathead, and some…I think these are, you know I don’t know what they are, but they have these sizes you put on a thingy and makes a ratchey noise. But I was turning a bolt thingy that looked like a flathead screw but a bolt and 2 minutes of going around and nothing moved, it just made the noise. I do think I know where the thermo is. I started to remove the heater hose but it seems it is not there but at the engine. At least I’ve learned not to remove the heater hose.

    Before trying to replace your own thermostat, go by one of those auto parts stores, and have them test the anti-freeze in the radiator. If you’re adding water frequently (probably are, if it’s overheating), there may be no anti-freeze protection.
    That being said, thermostats are fairly easy to replace if you can get to the part and have the proper tools (socket wrenches is what you’re thinking about).
    Do you perhaps have a friend with the proper tools you can bribe with a six pack?
