Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

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

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

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

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Let’s finish the job.

This fight is for everything.

People are weird.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

The end of my “Grift-athon” is nigh!

So listen here, y’all.  I made an off-hand joke about sending tote bags to those who donated to my fundraiser.  But then it occurred to me that I really should send a little somethin’-somethin’ to those who donate to my fundraiser.  After all, if I don’t, then you’re not going to give me the rest of your cash next spring, right?

So it’s happening, people!  I’m sending you a tote bag, which I will make with my own two hands!  (If you donated less than 20 bucks, I’ll send you a sticker — maybe scratch ‘n sniff. )1

The amazing Amanda Underwood (aka @underwoodchamp) offered her graphic design stylings to create a logo for my new craft adventure, and voila!

 

(This is one of the logos Amanda has created and while I’m not sure which one I will go with, this is one of them.)

So send me a few ducets (There’s a widget in the side bar and a direct link is here.  You can also donate directly via Paypal by clicking “Donate” on the sidebar.) —

— and I’ll send you some supersweet ABLC swag.

Thanks very much to those who have donated and thanks to all who support me by reading.

-ABLxx

UPDATE: Here is a second logo design.  I’m really jazzed about this one!

I may try to set up some sort of store so that people can pick which one they want. I’m sure not everyone wants to roam the earth with a giant picture of my ass as an accessory. (I also have assless designs.)

Anywhoozle, as I figure this all out, I’ll keep folks updated. If you hadn’t figured it out by now, I’m a very “fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants” kind of gal.

I plan to get these shipped in time for the holidays.

1 It won’t be scratch ‘n sniff.

    who WOULDN’T want to have your ass always to hand?

    ETA: ok, that came off really skeezy. I meant it as a bit of cute snark. Good luck fundraising. Sadly all my good causes money for the next 6 months is sucked into the good cause of moving me and the partner to the other side of the planet.

    Hey ABL why don’t you move to my (new) hometown? That’s Brookings, OR. The cost of living isn’t bad, I’d love to know you AND we don’t have enough black folk here. And I’ll buy you drinks. And we have some pretty nice beaches. And the place is beautiful. No snark.

    Just out of curiosity, what the significance of a baby’s butt as a logo?

    When I saw the title “The End of My Griftathon is Nigh,” I thought it was going to be a story about Herman Cain.

    Final Time: I would love to donate, but I don’t do it over the intertubes. Need an address so I can send a check. I sent you an email about 3 weeks ago saying this. If you lost it, get with John, he can get my email & has my permission to give it to you.
