Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I really should read my own blog.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Republicans in disarray!

Sunday get together

This post is in: ,

I called McGee’s and they said we should be fine near the bar on the first floor if we’re about 30 people or so. I’m a little reluctant to make a formal reservation anywhere since I don’t know how many people will come for sure (and I don’t want to make people RSVP or anything).

Can someone bring something Balloon-Juice distinctive so that we’re recognizable?

    Since this strikes me as a rather open thread, I was wondering if someone could point me to an origin post or posts explaining the rule that 27-28% of the American public is batshit insane. I know it has everything to do with the Keyes-Obama election, but I wanted to link to and give credit to some of the people who originated and propagated the theory. Thanks.

    Gex–total mind meld. I was going to say that if you hold them by the scruff of the neck the cats should stay totally under control.

    For God’s sake, people: GREEN balloons.

    If you can stuff a little kid in a basket under them, even better. Also: laughing helicopters.

    For the Seattle meetup I made a table tent of the Tunch feed poster, but it was really too small.

    I suggest that everybody wear a red carnation.

    Sadly, I will not be able to make it. There’s a Daily Dish get-together the same time and, well, this is awkward, but, you know….

    Seriously, I already have plans at that time with some lovely people whom I could not cancel on, but I’ll really wish I was there. Please say something intemperate and unserious in my honor.

    A balloon is a good idea and it shouldn’t matter if we end with a couple of them. I may have a bean bag that a balloon (or a couple can be tied to.)

    @gex:

    I suppose getting Tunch at the event isn’t possible. But that would make you recognizable.

    Yeah, but then the bar would be full and nobody could attend.

    Do you think they’d allow about 4 dozen former shelter pets in that bar?

    Won’t we all recognize each other from our LCD pallor?

    On second thought, pallor is pretty common in NYC. Best not rely on that after all.

    Looks like I picked a good week to check out BJ for the first time in quite a while. Planning on heading into to NYC to visit my aunt this weekend. I guess I should schedule it for Sunday afternoon. If you see someone standing outside McGee’s with glasses, long-ish hair and a Lily look alike that will be me.

    I’m just going to have to sit here and pout because you guys hold all these get-togethers in a completely different hemisphere from where I live…

    Just look for all the fucking people fucking swearing about fucking Obama and Glennnn, wearing I Hate Sully Gear(TM) and thick beards, punching away at lappys trying to finish their daily allotted DailyKos diary before happy hour ends.

    Yay! Can’t wait. I’m visiting a friend in the neighborhood right before; I’ll try to pick up a balloon on the way over.

    If I can’t find a balloon, I’ll bring my teapot hat. It’s shaped like, well, a teapot and says “Tea” on it. The tallest attendee can wear it. ;)
