Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

This really is a full service blog.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Come on, man.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

    Miss Sarah may not respond. It’s snowing in Spokane as we type and her ADD is on Snowbilly Snooki overload.

    Ah, I was waiting for an appropriate thread to post this: Hot Guys and Baby Animals.

    It was a tough decision, but I have to go with Billy Ray and Georgia as my favorites (EW’s photo gallery starts here).

    @Yutsano: It may only delay the inevitable by a week, but how about them Cougs Yuts? That it may end up sending Denny shuffling off to the Old Coach’s Home makes it even sweeter, and the Spokane folk have a local boy to cheer for at quarterback, provided nobody breaks him in half.

    @Comrade Nimrod Humperdink: This game gave the Cougs three viable QB choices. That has to be giving the two remaining defensive coordinators heartburn. Me personally I’m loving it. I had a feeling this team was a lot better than our record states. Defense needs MASSIVE work though.

    Also: This was an emotional game for us. Steve Gleason raised the flag at the start. I refuse to discount the inspiration factor.

    @Yutsano: Ugh, the defense, the defense… The defense cost us the UCLA game. And I’m still mystified by what I saw in Seattle against the Beavs. Seriously mystified. Of all the teams that we SHOULD have matched up well with in the whole league, THAT was the one. I dunno. College ball is whacky. I thought Stanford’s defense was gonna play better tonight too. Oh well, it looks like Mr Pickens will get his chance to buy a championship and beat Uncle Phil to it.

    @Yutsano: Didn’t expect an immediate response; hope Ms. Sarah will see this eventually, and be amused. (The Spousal Unit is suppposed to be stripping this pc down & “refreshing” everything, which from past experience means I’ll lose all my bookmarks and an unpredictable number of amuse-bouche links will vanish forever.)

    @Comrade Nimrod Humperdink: Tuel wasn’t ready to come back. Period. Did you see him do anything but hold a clipboard tonight? That was NOT accidental. Not sure where the Lobstah is though.

    @Yutsano: It’s a shame Tuel lost a medical hardship shot. But if Halliday keeps playing like THIS, fall camp next year will be interesting to say the least, no matter who the coach is.

    It is not a coincidence that the people most mired in delusion and denial prefer to be told elaborate fantasies that keep them from realizing just that.

    Haha, OK, now I understand the origins of the currently hot Twitter hashtag #OReillyLincolnErrors; shoulda known BillO was back to doing some authorinating again. TBogg and others have been having a lot of fun with that.

    For now Occupy Portland is still in control of their parks, despite the 12:01 deadline set by Mayor Adams and Police Chief Reese.

    By my guess there were 10k people there at midnight. Two and a half city blocks of park as well as the sidewalks across the streets were packed. A few hundred bicyclists circled the area all night.

    Around 2:00 or so the crowd took control of 3rd Ave and Main St, even though the crowd started thinning out. By the time I left I’d guess there were still 3-4k people there.

    The police were basically just hanging out at the street corners before midnight. After that they formed a perimeter, but never did much else. There was some vain attempt to hold 3rd with a line of mounted cops, but they just turned back after a few minutes. Some jackass threw a firework at the officers, but I was too far away to see anything besides that.

    It was a remarkable and peaceful event. Is, actually, since it’s ongoing. Live stream is here. Fuck CNN and fuck Fox. Goodnight.

    @Baron Jrod of Keeblershire: Thank you for the update! They were much in my thoughts last night.

    This sounds like the best possible outcome; such a show of solidarity that the forces of oppression stayed their hand.

    I couldn’t go to sleep because things started going down on the livestream of Occupy Portland.

    The police politely asked protestors to vacate 3rd ave and open traffic. (Well, you know, polite enough for cops. There was a threat of getting bean bagged if they hadn’t.) The occupiers did so.

    Riot police then lined up across from the parks on Main St (which runs between the two occupied parks) for a few minutes. Then the police put away their clubs and broke their line as a cheer went up from the crowd.

    “This is what victory looks like” was chanted, and its true. As the police themselves went back to their cars or the sidewalks, the occupiers gave them a round of applause. Yes, the occupiers cheered the police.

    This is an incredibly inspiring scene. But I seriously need to get to sleep.

    Victory with no casualties. Now watch every news channel talk about near-riots. Sounds like Portland did a lot better than Denver.
