Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

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

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

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

T R E 4 5 O N

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The words do not have to be perfect.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Republicans do not trust women.

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

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

The Mayor of Medford, New Jersey Totally Isn’t Gay

He just likes to do gay things.

20111024-154040.jpg Here’s one for the “family values” annals of history:

A Republican mayor in New Jersey denies that he agreed to pay a California man for sex through the website Rentboy.com, and says he doesn’t even know if the pictures posted of him in bright blue underwear are real.

Medford City Councilman and Mayor Chris Myers, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2008 against Democrat John Adler, is accused of paying the man $500 for sex during a trip to California in October 2010.

Danielle Camilli of the Burlington County Times reports that a man sent the paper a series of e-mails alleging that Myers agreed to pay him for sex, and promised him a car and a recording studio after the encounter at the Fairmount Hotel in Newport Beach, CA. The man said that Myers said he was a mayor from New Jersey, and showed him identification.

But, according to the Times, Myers reneged on his promises, so the man contacted the paper and then put up a website — called www.mayormyers.webs.com, which is now defunct — which included compromising pictures of Myers in blue Calvin Klein underwear.

Another poor victim of the gay agenda goes down.

    Obama Gone Wild

    President Obama is going to begin a series of executive branch actions that will not require action from Congress – or the assent of Republicans. With recovery in the housing market tied to economic recovery, Mr. Obama will today announce what senior officials are calling a “major overhaul” of the government’s underused refinance program for federally guaranteed mortgages, in order to aid homeowners having difficult refinancing their housing loan.

    Well, wingnuts. He is a Kenyan Muslim Dictator, or something like that, idnt he?

    Cops Gone Wild

    (CBS/AP) DOWNEY, Calif. – A Southern California police officer looking for an armed ATM robber may have shot and killed the wrong man, investigators said Monday.

    A Downey officer responding to the Saturday night robbery call spotted Michael Nida, a 31-year-old unarmed father of four who matched the description of the suspect, said Lt. Dave Dolson of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which has taken over the shooting investigation.

    Wingnuts Gone Wild?

    (CBS/AP) PORTLAND, Maine – Police are looking for the person they say threw a chemical bomb at the Occupy Maine encampment in Portland.

    Police responded around 4 a.m. Sunday morning to an explosion in Lincoln Park at Congress and Pearl Streets.

    asked him where he lived and what he did for a living. He told me he that he lived in NJ (which explained his brazen personality) and that he worked for the government. I jokingly asked if he was some sort of spy. He laughed and said that he was actually a mayor. After telling me that, I didn’t believe him so he got up from the bed and gave me a wallet from his briefcase. I opened the wallet and sure enough it was a badge and his Identification showing him as Mayor of Medford New Jersey. He then asked me if I had a plan for doing something else for a living. I told him that I had a recording engineering degree and that I would love to have my own recording studio.

    Remember this little incident from August: http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/08/in_goper_i_just_talked_about_baseball_with_the_you.php

    It seems Indiana state representative and anti-gay marriage leader Phillip Hinkle admitted paying an 18-year old male, with whom he exchanged Craig’s List emails, “for a good time.” But Hinkle assured his fellow Hoosiers that he and the teenager “just talked about baseball and the view.”

    Also just in case there was any doubt, he emphasized “I’m not gay.”

    Well, turns out Cuomo just ordered the mayor to arrest OWS protesters because he believes it will interfere with his attempts to cut taxes for….. wait for it… Rupert Murdoch.

    Cuomo, fearful the action could spark a larger protest that would carry over and potentially disrupt the next legislative session — where his continued opposition to a “millionaire’s tax’’ will be highly controversial

    I’m going to repost this comment from the TPM thread linked above, because it raises some excellent questions.

    TPM’s decision to run this story has been bugging me all day.

    There was a big debate about a decade ago about the ethics of outing people. I was on the pro-outing side, and I’m glad my team won. The other side of that debate argued that coming out was personal decision and that it was invasive to wrest that decision away from the closet cases. We argued that if a closeted politician used their position to target other gay people, the hypocrisy overrode the right to privacy. The danger in our position is that we were arguing for a somewhat arbitrary standard, how anti-gay does a politician have to be to justify being outed?

    I really don’t think just being a Republican meets that standard. You have to distinguish between outing that defends gay people from the closet cases who usually cause us the most harm (Larry Craig, George Rekers and Ted Haggard come to mind) and outing to humiliate people for being gay.

    This story seems to fall squarely in the second camp. I think the number “Ew” comments below is a pretty good indication of that.

    Here you have a case of a politician who doesn’t appear to be actively campaigning against the rights of gay people who hires an escort and has a dispute with the escort. The escort broke all kinds of sex worker ethical boundaries by going public. His taking the photograph looks like a set up for extortion. I just don’t think hiring a sex worker is that big a deal. If you think, as I do, that prostitution should be legal, then it’s really just a matter between Myers and his wife, who for all we know may be just fine with him working out his same-sex attractions this way.

    TPM publishing the escort’s photo of Myers seems especially cruel and unwarranted. I’d really welcome an explanation of why this particular politician merits this kind of humiliation.

    @Keith G:

    Re: #45 What you said bugs the shit out of me.

    First of all, what is ludicrous about Calouste’s position that silence in the face of Republican evil should be called out? If you’re in the GOP, it should not matter if your place on the totem pole of elected office is down at chihuahua-pissing level. You get to wear those noxious GOP party planks around your neck, albatross-like, whether you like them or not.

    Secondly, let’s talk about this ‘humanity’ thing. I (generally) do think that Dems are better than GOPers at this. But after years of having my smiling face disfigured by repeated GOP kicks to the head, my teeth are gone and my ‘humanity’ is getting worn out. So, to the NJ mayor that didn’t give his rentboy a reacharound, I say TFB. The needle on my humanity-ometer is hovering just above ‘Fumes’. I need a recharge. To that end I think we can learn something from Dr. Seuss’ I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew. The protagonist starts off by being a victim to forces and things in his environment that would do him harm. He leaves to look for a Shangri-La but finds that things are no better elsewhere. In the end he learns that he must face his problems instead of running away from them. He then goes back home to deal with his “troubles,” arming himself with a big bat and resolving that “Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!” I’ll start regrowing some humanity and getting my smile back as soon as I can protect my head from those ceaseless kicks.

    @Keith G:
    Uh…please tell me I’m not the only one here that distinguishes between private citizens privately dealing with their private “personal confusion/family tragedy” and a public official. I don’t want to go back to the days where we ignore the polio wheelchair or, even more to the point, the Hollywood blonde slipping in through the back door. Also, if you think that politics (I think that’s what this blog is mostly about) doesn’t involve some measure of “score settling”, then it would seem you have already found your very own Shangri-La.

    Heez, I get my sermonizing at church on Sundays, thank you very much.

  65. 65.

    So, are you as a churchgoer culpable for the homophobia that the Christian Church has engendered throughout its history? If all Republicans are tarnished simply by their party’s stances, should not members of other groups be held to the same standard?

    Personally, I think there is indeed some blame to be spread to all who support such noxious ideologies even in part. Not sure if that’s going to be a popular opinion or not though.
