Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

The choice is between normal and crazy.

So many bastards, so little time.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

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

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

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.
