Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“woke” is the new caravan.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

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

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Fertilize another behind my lover’s back

This is pretty awesome (h/t General Stuck):

An anti-gay Alabama Republican was reportedly making secret sperm donations to at least nine New Zealand women he met over the internet, unbeknownst to his wife back in America.

Bill Johnson, who made a failed bid for governor of Alabama in 2010, anonymously donated sperm to lesbian couples in New Zealand, according to a report by the New Zealand Herald.

Johnson has spent much of the last year in Christchurch, where he moved without his wife and her three kids (from a previous marriage), in order to help the country’s recovery from the February earthquake.

All the while Johnson was reportedly trolling the internet under the username “chchbill” for women who needed help getting pregnant. He reportedly had exchanges with at least nine women — among them several lesbians — at least three of whom are now pregnant.

    I dunno, I read the entire story and it seems kind of sad. The guy wanted children and his wife had an operation that would not allow her to bear anymore children. He wanted children, and he fell to an urge to do it.

    It’s not like he was having sex with them, he donated sperm. In the article, he thought that they had gone through counseling and he had her blessing.

    This is a non-story.

    @Cain: Anti gay Republican assisting gay women in having a baby makes it a story, regardless of the dynamics within the Republican’s family.

    (EDIT: And now that I have read the full details, it sounds like he expected to be a father figure for these children once they are born)

    Old news, but the new news is that this guy left his wife just before Easter and moved back to New Zealand. I actually happen to know him. My husband and he ran against each other for Birmingham City Council. Doesn’t say much about the constituency that voted him in, because he was a charming sociopath even back then.

But since he is and they’re the anti sex of any kind except married missionary, and the anti GLBT, and the anti foreigner party, the whole thing is kind of amusing.

    New sperm bank opens up, and they pay $100 per donation to all comers. So on opening day, there are men lined up around the block. The last guy in line hears someone come up behind him, and he turns around, and sees a woman there. He says to her, “Lady, what are you doing here? Don’t you realize that this is a line of men who are going to earn $100 for a donation to the new sperm bank?” And the woman nods her head vigorously and replies: “Mmphphmhphmph.”

    I wonder how psychiatrists would analyze this kind of odd behavior. I didn’t think I had ever heard of someone doing this but just remembered that a while back there was a fertility specialist, iirc, that contributed his own sperm in place of donor sperm to a whole bunch of his patients resulting in a huge number of his progeny.

    I guess that a case could be made that the gay women were still being fruitful and multiplying, but still the new war against women is rigidly narrow in defining a family as a heterosexual man and woman who are naturally fertile and who make babies only the way that the deity specified according to the church fathers.

    [Johnson’s wife, 2x Mrs America finalist] Kathy Johnson said her husband returned to Alabama late last year. He assured her that the donations were non-sexual, she said.

    Oh, sweet suffering Jesus. How anyone could say that to a reporter with a straight face; those beauty contests must train you to completely transcend reality.

    Aside from the sin of enabling lesbians to raise/abuse little feti, Johnson [heh] is obviously sinning by mastubating, which Jehovah hates. He might as well vote absentee for Obama — he’s trashed his wingnut cred. I only hope NZ takes this weirdness and runs with it.

    No, no. This guy appeared to be living up to the idea parodied by Monty Python that “every sperm is sacred.”

    He’s building his own Christian lesbian harem coven in NZ.
