Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

He really is that stupid.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republicans do not trust women.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Thought some of you might get a kick out of this:

[T]he Santorum, a milky mixture of Baileys, orange vodka, bitters and chocolate flakes, seems to be sticking.

We won’t explain how the drink matches up with an alternate definition of the word “Santorum,” as The Brooklyn Paper is a family publication — but the bar’s liberal proprietors are certain it’ll satisfy any boozy desires.

    Cool Rachel hammered the Athens paper for not running Doonesberry with a bullshit explanation that, because there is similar legislation pending in Georgia, running the cartoon might confuse people.

    Given that the Georgia General Assembly is considering an abortion bill — House Bill 954, sponsored by Rep. Doug McKillip, R-Athens, which would prohibit abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy — I made a unilateral decision not to publish the “Doonesbury” strips intended for publication this week. Quite simply, I thought there was a real possibility that readers might confuse the topic of this week’s “Doonesbury” with Georgia’s proposed abortion legislation, and I didn’t want to add any confusion to the ongoing concerns, pro and con, about House Bill 954.

    The thing to remember is that Rush earns $50M a year on his contract. In order for that contract to work, he’s got to hold onto paid subscribers and he’s got to hold onto advertisers. That’s the whole point of Rush – bring in listeners, and as a result bring in ad revenue. Turn off the ad revenue, even if he keeps the viewers, and he’s going to get dropped.

    It’ll be interesting to see how he handles the next 2 weeks. If he caves, he might lose the listeners. If he doesn’t, he might lose the advertisers forever. The GOP is its worst enemy right now.

    I was recently introduced to the new (ish?) style of barf bags at the hospital. I hollered for a basin and was given this blue plastic ring. The bag portion drops out of the middle. Despite my illness I was delighted by this new design, so much better than the lunch bag style in planes, or the plastic kidney shaped “emesis basin” of hospitals whose volume is inadequate for aught but spitting.

    I called it the puke condom and bizarrely, none of the health professionals got it. What? Hello, a ring, a tube extends, it’s blue plastic. A condom for the gods. Or for my breffus.

    @lamh35: Well, the Admin has to move carefully. Best to wait until there’s a Dem majority in the House, which may actually be possible if the Reps keep the nihilistic self-destruction thing going, and then simply do it when there’s no congressional committee that can complain.
    Also, they could simply cancel him and replace him with a conservative that isn’t a total shitbird.
    My answer would be to remove political speech from AFRTS completely. Since there’s no liberal analog to Rush Limbaugh, there’s no liberal show to remove. Else demand that Ed Schultz get equal time since he’s the closest thing.

    I’d attack it from the angle that it is immoral for our service women and minority personnel to be exposed to his racism and misogyny through official channels at taxpayer expense. Best bet would be for a female/minority GS employee to file an EEO complaint with the EEOC for a hostile and intimidating work environment.

    @lamh35: It says that I’m into incredibly smart, talented women of accomplishment who happen to be blonde.
    In other words, a somewhat less hot version of my wife. (she’s reading this over my shoulder, so I’m hoping that I won’t be in too hot water tonight.)

    What?! What about CNN? What about the Washington Post? What about the NYTimes? What about the Wall Street Journal? What about PBS? What about NPR? What about the BBC? Egad, man!

    @Gin & Tonic:

    Don’t start talking about violations of the laws of nature, or some Republican will propose legislation banning drinks with more than two ingredients, or requiring you to go through a colonoscopy before consuming one. Probably be on the grounds of having too much fun…no more Sazeracs for you.

    Now about this whole Santorum/plant relationship. Not to spread rumors, but I’ve heard tell that his nickname while in the Senate was “Legume”. Not that I’d want to speculate about unwholesome relationships with plants, but it would be irresponsible not to. Not that I’d want to compare Ricky’s intelligence with that of a tomato (even an heirloom tomato), but evidence seems to suggest a closer relationship than is visible to a casual observer…

    @S. cerevisiae: Not the way they’ve been playing lately. I thought losing to Ohio State would have gotten their attention. Apparently not. I thought letting you guys abuse them for 60 minutes would wake them up. Apparently not, given that they almost found a way to lose to Mercyhurst.

    Right now, they aren’t the best team in the country. Meanwhile, we’ve allowed two goals in five playoff games, and it’s not all Noora Raty. We’re on the best sustained run of hockey we’ve played in two years. I’ve said for months now that, when we are at the top of our game, we’re the best team in the country. We take too many games off for me to say that on an everyday basis, but it doesn’t look like we plan to do that.

    Still, let’s focus on Friday first and making sure that a week from now we can still say that the WCHA is the only conference ever to win an NCAA championship in women’s ice hockey.

    I say that’s fine for The Romney, but in addition everyone in the bar has to get paid $17.23 by the person ordering it, who then gets strapped to the roof of the building.

    […] Actually,Doug, the new Santorum cocktail sounds just disgusting: [T]he Santorum, a milky mixture of Baileys, orange vodka, bitters and chocolate flakes, seems to be sticking. […]
