Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

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

Cole is on a roll !

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

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

Let’s finish the job.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

We still have time to mess this up!

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The Lady Friend cooked tonight- home made red beans and rice with sausage, corn bread with jalapenos, stuffing, and a roast chicken. It was delicious. Currently in a food coma.

She is also spoiling my dogs rotten. They’ve had more treats in the last week than they have in six months. There’s gonna be an uprising when she leaves.

    Am I the only one in Minnesota experiencing audio issues with the Vikes game? There’s either audio coming from the actual stadium announcer on top of the TV crew or the stream switches to Spanish. Annoying, and making a crappy game even crappier.

    Not only are the Vikes playing terribly so far, Comcast here in the Twin Cities is having audio problems with porting the NFL Network over to the local channel. We currently have both English and Spanish play by play simultaneously, with the occasional flop back and forth…

    And now that TB scored a TD as I”m typing this, I’m very disappointed that I didn’t hear GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL on the Spanish audio…

    Feed a dog a Milk Bone and you feed them for five minutes. Let them learn how to get the cabinet open where you keep the Milk Bones and you’ll feed them really REALLY well for five minutes.

    My parents’ dog had that one figured out. Yet they still continued to keep the box in the floor-level cabinet.

    Also, it’s so great being far away from having to give a damn about anybody. Alas, I have to return to Giveafuckistan soon.

    But that day is not today! Ha HA! Or tomorrow. Tomorrow I think I will go visit Cole’s dad and see if I can distract him so he doesn’t try to do more yard work.

    I got intrigued by the sort of archaic (it seemed to me anyway) “lady friend”, and Googling it, found some funny entries at Urban Dictionary, for example:

    “Lady Friend: Commonly used term by men fearful of commitment to refer to the woman that they have been dating. This term is usually used to indicate that while he has no intention of being involved in a committed relationship with said woman she is off limits to all other men.”

    This was the most curious one though, possibly created by a labeling mishap but still:

    ““Lady Friend:Created in October of 2004 by an individual named Rafiki of Oregon. When a man, more notably a guy, is going out with a woman but is unwilling to give the relationship a name (e.g girlfriend), the woman is described as a lady friend.”

    So, “robot” would be a synonym, he’s saying.

    And let me just say that no man more notably a guy than JC.

    For me, somehow the term speaks of Kenny Rogers and Commodores songs from the 70s. Though there is an actual perfect song title match for the Byrds, in the 60s.

    @different-church-lady: I had two buddies, both really great athletes. One was playing short and the other left. Popup went up and they both went full blast for it and smashed their heads together. One shattered his jaw and the other had a severe gash in his scalp. It sounded like two bowling balls hitting each other at 59 mph. I sat in the ER with them and about every 5 minutes they’d look at me, “what happened, where are we”? Scary shit.

    Yesterday I didn’t tell my story about the guy inflating a split ring tire in a shop I was in. I looked at him and walked around a big truck. WHAM! I turned to see the tire hitting the ceiling of the shop bay. I ran around the truck and the dude was GONE. At first I thought he had disintegrated. Turned out he blew his thumb off and gashed his forearm to the bone and took off running. I caught him, dragged him back inside, called 911, stopped the bleeding, applied ice and found the thumb and iced it in a bag. We sat there waiting for the meat wagon and he kept saying “I knew the tire should have been in the cage”. When they got him out if there I started to feel kinda woozy but I held it down. They couldn’t re-attach. I didn’t want to say that when John’s dad got hurt yesterday but I figgered it was the same.

    @Ash Can: Since it’s going to be a West Virginia wedding, I hope the Bridegrooms wear some manner of cammo tuxedo overalls. Frilly, I trust.

    Jugband musicians I’d assume, as well. “Here done come the Bride” via jugband would be sublime.

    Also too: The jugs must have “XX’s” on them – The Cole Family Sigil.

    Watching the Bucs, enjoying the halftime lead, but seriously Tampa’s defense has got to make those blitz attempts work better, if Ponder gets enough time to get the ball to Harvin or Peterson we’re screwed.

    Also, that almost-INT the Bucs had inside the 2:00 mark in the second quarter? GUY HAD POSSESSION AND BOTH FEET IN. DAMN that was an INT, and the Refs screwed the call…

    In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, POTUS on Ayn Rand:

    Have you ever read Ayn Rand?
    Sure.
    _____
    What do you think Paul Ryan’s obsession with her work would mean if he were vice president?
    Well, you’d have to ask Paul Ryan what that means to him. Ayn Rand is one of those things that a lot of us, when we were 17 or 18 and feeling misunderstood, we’d pick up. Then, as we get older, we realize that a world in which we’re only thinking about ourselves and not thinking about anybody else, in which we’re considering the entire project of developing ourselves as more important than our relationships to other people and making sure that everybody else has opportunity – that that’s a pretty narrow vision. It’s not one that, I think, describes what’s best in America. Unfortunately, it does seem as if sometimes that vision of a “you’re on your own” society has consumed a big chunk of the Republican Party.

    I don’t know what you’re complaining about – I had one posted four times this morning and it wasn’t even all that great a post, just more bitching about Richard Moran…er, Mourdock, the shame of the Hoosier State. Evidently WP has gone off the reservation and off the meds. Although I take your point about the absurd amount of money involved…

    Dan Shulman and Orel Hershiser did an outstanding job.

    The Lady Friend cooked, etc.

    I added Psalm 116 on the end of the Shemoneh Esrei this morning. This is an absolutely, unequivocally good thing.
