Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

“But what about the lurkers?”

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

Everybody saw this coming.

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

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

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

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Not all heroes wear capes.

I’ve Got Your Button Right Here

Joe Lieberman wants Google to put a button on Blogger so people can flag posts as terrorist activity. Here’s what I think WordPress should do to address other kinds of political activity.

Please use this button to report a bloviating, headline-grabbing moron.

    That’s “full of win”, as my son says. Did you code that?

    It’s typical of Joe Lieberman that he expects the world to be full of folks who rat on each other. You just know what he was like as a kid: “Teacher, teacher, look what Robert’s doing.” A nasty little shit. Can’t wait until he’s gone.

    Hope you’re counting button hits. Passed the iPad around the post-T’giving breakfast table, so we probably clogged the tubes now. Sorry.

    Given how the Intertoobz teem with comity and mutual respect, I, for one, cannot see how such a button could ever be misused, let alone abused.

    @mistermix: I spent an entire semester in college fighting like hell for a C in “intro to programming” with Java. Was in the prof’s office every office hour, was with the TA as often as I could be.
    I suck at programming. I also just figured that was something that was making the rounds of the liberal blogs. If not, it should be.

    OT–woman pepper sprays other shoppers at a WalMart in Porter Ranch, California in order to beat them to the video games. She must be a UC cop.
    I first heard about this from NPR on the drive into work this morning.

    @Soonergrunt: Seriously? I can’t imagine the logic behind that. “I know, I’ll mace anyone who gets in my way and then make a run for the check out lane! What could possibly go wrong?”

    @debit: Well, she’s still at large, so there might be something to the idea, at least logistically, if not morally. The question is–was she able to actually purchase the games?

    I wish libs hadn’t thrown water on this idea. I was looking forward to flagging every reference to “watering the tree of liberty”, as well as pretty much everything on Pam Geller’s site.

    @Soonergrunt: See, that’s where the plan fell apart.

    Step 1: wait all night to be one of the first in the door.
    Step 2: pepper spray anyone in my way.
    Step 3: ??
    Step 4: Successful checkout experience (profit!).

    I hope that if they catch her she uses the Megyn Kelly defense. “It’s just a vegetable product!”

    We also need to add a ‘terrorism bit’ to the IPv6 packet header. Right there with the ‘spam bit’ and the ‘porn bit’.

    Maybe they should just create a special domain for terrorist activity, like they did with porn and .xxx, maybe .alq or .jhd

    @Soonergrunt: What video game could be in short supply this year? Is there some kind of Guitar Hero XII or release of Gameboy XIVe that would cause such a scramble? I don’t really follow the toy market.

    I think the trick is
    DON’T wait all night
    show up near opening time
    pepper spay the fools who have been camped out all night
    walk in first while the fools are gagging and teared up

    I’ve been Senatized by this shitstain for some time now. I realized I didn’t trust him to have my back long before he nodded along with Dick Cheney’s “I didn’t make one dollar from the government!” during the 2000 debate. Or before Lieberman ever dreamt of telling women to take that Midnight Cab Ride to a real hospital in case of rape.

    There’s nothing he could say or do which would make me think less of him.

    If this ever went through, I suspect that Short Ride Joe’s own blog (if he has or gets one) would have enough “this is a terrorist post” clicks that Blogger’s servers would get overloaded.

    @middlewest: I would like to challenge your implicit assumption that terrorism is mostly islamic, right wing terrorism has been far more prevalent. In any event, you missed the most obvious new domain for terrorists, ‘.kkk’.

    “Bloviating, headline-grabbing moron” says it all. “Shithead” adds nothing, and carries with it the potential to offend people that you would like to have on your side. What’s the point?
