Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Giving up is unforgivable.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

    Cleared my cache, now my nym/email autofill is back. Or maybe it’s what you did, mistermix.

    It’s a mystery. I don’t understand and I want to continue. That’s my new motto.

    Cache rules everything around me, hit the refresh, try page fetch again y’all.

    @Hawes: This. Although, I can open up one specific story and scroll through to this current story. :-p Computers, why you so crazy?

    Seems a bit better, but I had to reload the main page a couple of times before this post would show up (as opposed to seeing the ‘next post’ link one thread down.

    Cleared my cache AND all my site cookies on Firefox, tried the main page and it seems fine now. (Clearing cache did not work before, nay-sayers. This FF install has been stuck on Marley since yesterday.)

    Yay! [/kermitdancing]

    Thank you, mistermix, but can we please have another thread soon to test that it really works?

    Still fucked up on firefox. I can usually access all threads using the reader, but it does not refresh comments up to date. And the recent comments is fully fubar. All of which is acceptable as I don’t have much desire to blog anyways right now.

    Since Brennan doesn’t know if the President can bomb citizens within the country or not, we should nominate a wingnut blogger to be an imminent threat and hope for the best. CS and eemom can be the human shields.

    Seems to work OK on IE10(modern UI). Don’t see the Name/EMail with Dolphin on my table, though that could be due to an upgrade there.

    Also, too – for weeks I have had NO header at all, which actually doesn’t bother me since I don’t like the ‘new’ logo and since I know where the fuck I am, anyway.

    I don’t know what/why it happened (I use NoScript but I always have so wtf) but it’s a little odd.

    Bring back the little old guy with the striped pants and great coat and the bullhorn and the cane and the floating away balloon! I’ve only said it a thousand times, why do you keep ignoring me?!

    No problems using Dolphin on my Android, no issues since since yesterday on the stock cm10 browser.

    My FF at work, which is up to date with yesterdays update is still stuck on Annie’s post and can only see anything later after clearing cache.

    @srv: Uh, nooooooooooo….

    @bemused:Yes, gawdammit! By popular demand! At least, I demand it. I really hate that candy striped half of a balloon. Not that I see it anymore.

    Comrade Mary

    Those of you on FF in Windows: what worked for me was clearing the cache, then deleting all balloon-juice.com cookies (Tools | Options | Privacy | remove individual cookies).

    Clearing the cache alone didn’t do it. The cookies needed to be tossed. Your credenza will be blank after the cookie toss, but when you rebuild it, it should stick around.

    @bemused: I know – the new logo is just so generic and blah (no, not THAT kind of blah!) Plus, remember the old numbers? Fat, curvy, big and sexy?

    @bemused: Magic eight ball says “No doubt about it”.

    @Maude: I don’t know what browser you use, but on Firefox you can install an add-on called NoSquint that lets you adjust the size of the font and the background color for any site.

    It has saved my old eyes many a time. Especially on those weird sites that want to use a chocolate or pink background with lime-green letters.

    Also, Theme Font and Size Changer is invaluable – of course, you have to be using FF. Which I love because of how you can adjust it to your own needs.

    No, I don’t work for Firefox.

    (Ok, the autofill fields just frickin’ disappeared on me again, wtf?)

    Ok, through inattentiveness I inadvertently added 4 links and now I am in mod hell, no doubt won’t get out ’til 2014. FYWP.
