Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Republicans in disarray!

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

The revolution will be supervised.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

    Dunno if you saw my reply a day or so back. We had a great time. Allerton, the Idea Garden, the Esquire and the Boneyard Navigator 4th party were all great. Some folks are pretty worn out but I guess that’s the toll.

    See if you know anyone.

    @ stuckinred:

    Yeah we thought his markings were unusual, too. Funny, we should’ve named him marcel. He’s like wearing a black Marcel Marceaux outfit. Or a tuxedo or something.

    Truth Wins Out infiltrates Marcus Bachmann’s Christian “therapy” center, which receives state and federal funds, and finds — SHOCKER! – –they peddle in discredited “pray away the gay” crap.

    On another note, Marcus Bachmann looks exactly like Liberace in this picture without the rhinestone suit.

    Saw the reply very late and you were long gone so i figured I’d try to catch you “live” on BJ this weekend.

    Looks like this was a reunion, not just a trip to CU?

    That’s you in front, right? But where’s your wife? Taking the photo?

    Green guy standing on the left looks familiar, but I don’t have a name. Blue guy on the right with an emblem on his shirt looks familiar, too. So does blue shirt woman next to him, and the white t-shirt guy who is with her. Also grey t-shirt guy with a blue cup that is standing toward the center of the photo.

    The black guy with the hawaiian shirt looks familiar, too, like maybe I’ve seen him around town recently. But he has a classic face, so maybe not. I don’t get the feeling I knew him from before.

    I might say that sounds harsh except that I laughed out loud when I saw the photo because you are oh so right in that description.

    In defense of his “therapy”, of course you can pray away the gay, because he’s done it for himself, and it worked for him, right? :-)

    @Southern Beale — what a scamp. Stuckinred beat me to it, I immediately thought of Petey from Our Gang.

    And WaterGirl, I’m sure old Marcus counts himself as his first “cure”. It’s all reprehensible.

    Maybe after these nuts try “pray away the gay” they can turn to “pray away the stupid”, imagine all the money to be had among the idiots who voted for Michelle.

    OT:

    The Church of England is thinking about getting rid of the $6 million they hold in News International in the wake of the phone hacking scandal at the News of the World.

    That they held them in the first place means that the Church doesn’t seem to have a problem with girls having their boobs out on Page Three of the Sun every day. What was it with that “Don’t covet thy neighbor’s wife again”? Maybe the CofE got a guarantee from Rupert that the only boobs shown on page three are boobs from unmarried women.

    Yea, it was the Boneyard Navigators 33rd annual 4th Party. This is a mix of Record Service folks and Esquire Lounge peeps. My bride was, indeed, on the camera. Shoot me an email and I’ll give you more info.

    Someone has a very nice meadow behind their house/neighborhood. Nice, not fenced in or anything.

    Sometimes, it’s good to be a dog.

    Wonderful pics of two dogs that are loving life right at that moment. My dog gets that look after our morning walk, when we get back home, he immediately jumps into his baby pool for a soak and a nice drink (he’s a lab, naturally).
