Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Flipping between the Jets/Cowboys and Mahler’s Symphony #2 on PBS. Figured we could use an open thread.

    I usually enjoy watching the 49ers, I’ve been doing it since, well, I can remember. There is something, in general, though, about the NFL and the coverage it gets on TV that really bugs the shit out of me. It’s the way they sort of imply, without actually saying, that they’re some extra branch of the US military.

    Wow, there’s a whole bunch of commas in that paragraph.

    Seriously, I know the Cubs and the Mets aren’t playing for anything but pride right now, but could we at least pretend to cover the game? There’s so much 9/11 remembering going on that I have no idea what’s going on on the field! If you want to have a 9/11 tribute show with Bobby Valentine and Mike Piazza telling their stories, fine. Do that. But don’t pretend to be covering a baseball game too.

Year after year after year, people keep going to the Seahawk/Mariner/Sonic games, knowing, knowing, that it’s all going to end in ashes, and probably sooner rather than later. But they keep coming back. I sort of half-watch ‘Hawk games, but.. actually buying tickets? Making that deep emotional investment? I realize that Americans are trained from birth that professional sports, unlike politics, are Vitally Crushingly Important, but still..

    And of course, everything’s so larded down with commercials any more, even if they did Win It All occasionally.. sigh.

The second time, a couple of weeks ago, my mom called me at 10 pm to come pick her up because the baby was just freaking the fuck out and couldn’t deal with the disruption to her routine.

    I am sorry I missed the Mahler, especially since it was the Philharmonic, but I don’t know it well enough to listen during the commercials. I had to do the pots, also too.

    That game was full of um, incident. Svensker put it well with “miraculous”. I guess TNC can take heart that the Cowboys aren’t going to be any worse this year. But Sanchez was seen doing things you would never have relied on him to do last year.

    Flipping between the Jets/Cowboys and Mahler’s Symphony #2 on PBS.

    Jesus, that’s pretty schizophrenic.

    @Ash Can: Don’t live in the Chicago area unfortunately but will try the internet work around next time. Thanks for the tip. We get to see so few Cubs games here on the left coast that it’s just frustrating when one is on basic cable and you don’t really get to see it.

    I don’t have any love for the Cowboys but I HATE the Jets. Didn’t know about the alternative being Mahler but that’s just as well, as I tend to get over-emotional (just like the composer) and I had to sleep last night. Funny, never did that when I had to actually play the piece (which I did about 30 times). I suppose it’s like playing football: you never really feel the pain while you are playing but oh man the next day!

    Tonight it matters: My Pats vs. the Fish. Not easy at all. Gone are the days when you could assume the Pats would win.

    So the latest poster child for Republican victimhood is Gibson Guitars. The only shocking thing about this story is how porrly the media has covered it.

    Something going on over at dailykos…

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/09/11/1015546/-SistahSpeak?via=siderec

    I think kos banned a bunch of people for fighting over Obama, and a lot of them were apparently AA posters. The latter group is organizing some sort of boycott because they feel singled out. I don’t hang out there much, so I don’t know about the right & wrong & the like. I do know that the diaries, especially the comments, are virtually unreadable to me right now.

    @Marc: Do you remember the original “pie fight,” where a lot of Kossacks (especially women) complained about a racy web ad and ended up getting a front-page harrumphing from Markos himself about the “sanctimonious women’s studies set” and identity politics? A lot of women who used to participate over there ended up elsewhere.

    @FlipYrWhig:

    Yes, vaguely. I guess it’s a progressive web site if you’re the proper sort of progressive?

    It’s ironic considering how often kos harangues single issue voters for not seeing the bigger picture, but will be actively rooting against senator Tester because he didn’t vote for the Dream Act. Everyone else’s priorities are identity politics, his priorities are bedrock principles everyone else must comply with.

    Jets – Mahler? Well, Mahler was chief conductor with the NY Philharmonic near the end of his life, so there is a NY connection.
