Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Hot air and ill-informed banter

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

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

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

People are complicated. Love is not.

Everybody saw this coming.

All right, let’s do it: Walker’s (TriBeca) on Sunday at 3. I’m more of an Upper West Side G, but Walker’s worked so well last time I don’t want to chance it somewhere else.

Can someone call and reserve room in the back for 20? I’m not good at that kind of thing.

Update. Walker’s says they can’t take a big crowd at that time. Other suggestions? Any place in Manhattan that’s subway accessible and will let us reserve room for 20-25 is fine by me.

    OT, but Washington is about to legalize same-sex marriage and the great thing is that it is barely newsworthy.

    @Baud: Give them a few hours, they’re still working out how it’ll result in aborted black babies and the church hiring female priests.

    This sucks. New York has now had two BJ meets and I can’t get anyone to do one here in the general vicinity of the actual blog owner. Well, except for Kay. Come on Pittsburgh Juicers!

    Damn, I can’t make it. I’ll be at the Grammys on the Left Hand Coast. I love Walkers. Make merry, one and all.

    Hi all. I’d be happy to call in the reservation — the back room for 20 people, Sunday the 12th at 3 p.m.

    I’m in, but solo again — my better half is a big fan but has a rehearsal — just like last fall.

    I just called Walker’s and they can’t accommodate us on Sunday. They have a previous booking for 25 people at 6 p.m. and don’t feel they can host two large groups so close together time-wise.

    The floor is open for other suggestions.

    I’ve gotta put in an appearance at GVO up at Washington Irving HS but will get down there as soon as I can.

    If we want 3PM, there should be tons of choices. Are we UWS for sure? I don’t hang out there, but near AMNH or Columbia there must really great places.

    Sunday at 3 is still brunchy time, but I have a couple of suggestions:

    Druids at 50th and Tenth
    McCann’s 55th between Bway and 8th
    Half King 23rd & 10th

    I can check tomorrow on whether they can accomodate

    Sure would be nice to do a Cinncinatti-area (Tri-State area) Balloon Juice meetup. Hint, hint.
