Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

How stupid are these people?

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

    I just belatedly picked up Garland Jeffreys’ album from last year, “The King of In Between.” It’s really, really good. I have no idea why Garland’s work has been so underappreciated over the years, but he’s been delivering the goods for almost 40 years.

    @burnspbesq:

    I only own “Ghost Writer,” which I bought back in the day (on vinyl). It’s a nearly flawless album that I thought would be a breakout for him, but not so much. Glad to know he’s still going.

    I’m normally a lurker, but I just heard the awesomest Both Sides Do It thing in the world from the office wingnut. It’s okay that Romney beat up kids back when he was in school because Rev. Wright said something that might offend white people once upon a time (or, according to him, “the most vile hateful things for twenty years” while Obama cheered him on from the pew, apparently).

    No, seriously.

    Also, too, apparently Romney’s lack of recollection of the incident means the entire thing may be made up by Romney’s enemies. That was part two of his thesis.

    Excellentness.

    @Parrotlover77:
    Standard wingnut OP. The fact that Willard DID actually recollect the story and OTHER sources confirm that it happened, is also of no moment.

    @trollhattan:

    “Ghost Writer” is an amazing record, but I think “Guts for Love” is my favorite GJ album.

    Not much to report this week. Been listening to a lot of old and new Brazilian stuff, e.g., BiD and Seu Jorge, “E Depois.”

    The Putumayo anthology Brazilian Lounge is really good.

    Tie a yellow ribbon ’round the amputee

    One of my favorite lyrics ever.
