Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The willow is too close to the house.

Consistently wrong since 2002

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

    In the left column you have an item called “Pages”. Mouse over it and the word “More” will appear to its right. Click on that, and a button “Create a page” will appear in the center content area just below the banner.

    This explanation does not constitute legal advice or the endorsement of any particular course of action involving you with a huge, evil, worldwide datamining operation.

    You could try the “Create Group” function. I’ve never done it, but it looks to me like the sort of entity that would do what you need. You have the option of having a closed group (visible only to invitees, so you could keep out trolls) or an open one (so all the People Who Know Your Name around here could visit unimpeded, assuming you can persuade them to dirty their beautiful minds over at Facebook).

    I don’t spend much time on Facebook and certainly don’t know the inner workings, but I am guessing that creating a group from your personal account will link the group to that account in some way so you will want to create a separate account before trying to create the group.

    “A civilisation is a struggle to keep self-control, and in this it is like some great tragic person, some Niobe who must display an almost superhuman will or the cry will not touch our sympathy. The loss of control over thought comes towards the end; first a sinking in upon the moral being, then the last surrender, the irrational cry, revelation—the scream of Juno’s peacock.

    What revelation is at hand? Why…everything. Literally everything about our lives.

    Just FYI – having multiple Facebook accounts is a TOS violation, and can get you banned, apparently. Or at the least, you may get one of your accounts deleted. You can only set up a business account if you don’t already have a personal account.

    Yes, FB is evil. Stop the presses.

    What @Joey Maloney says. Or just go to this link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

    I don’t know how much effort you want to put into it, but if you want a free and easy tool to make a nice landing page for first time visitors, you may want to look into Pagemodo.com. You would want to do that after you make your page. : )

    I checked out many tools for free landing pages, and this one was by far the easiest to use. Of course, a landing page is not necessary, but could be helfpul if you want to grow your audience at this page through the Facebook page.

    I’m an admin on many Facebook pages; please feel free to message me if I can be of help. I’m a longtime lurker, long ago poster under a different name, and new daily visitor to Balloon Juice. : )

    @jheartney: I believe you are misinterpreting the Facebook terms of service. You can only have one personal Profile page, but owners of “brand/business” pages can have those in addition to their personal pages. You just can’t use a second personal page, either for your business, yourself, your alter ego or whatever.

    Feel free to start a page, John, but I find the Share button up there very amenable to share individual posts. It lets me do a initial comment, and I can usually get the FEED thumbnail to accent the post.

    You want to make a page for an organization, not an individual. It is not a TOS violation to have both a personal page and an organization page. It is like making a page for a company.

    Just Google facebook organizattion pages.

    You use the create a page option. The set-up is just like a regular page but then you need to invite some people to join. With 25 members you then have a more independant page and any of those members can be activated as an admin to off load some of the work. It isn`t as hard as it looks and as an admin you will be able to go between your personal page and any additional pages with a simple link.

    @Rob: Actually, it only took 14 (and less than one hour) for this post in the wee hours of the morning for most people. //sarcasm tag//Are the posts of newbies invisible?
