Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Come on, man.

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The revolution will be supervised.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

We’re not going back!

We still have time to mess this up!

I really should read my own blog.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Jesus Is My What Now?

Sometimes I shouldn’t click on links tweeted at me. And sometimes I totally should because of magic like this.

Yesterday I posted our SOTU eps but not the new one from last night. On Last night’s TWiB! Radio we discussed the ridiculous of the above video, suing to get your grade changed in college, a guy who’s going to be executed and they refuse to take into consideration he might be mentally unstable…even as he pulls his own eye out (Oh Texas) and more.  Check it out here.

    Are we supposed to give them kudos for belatedly recognizing that the Jesus of the semi-historical record would have been a man of color? Not that I actually watched the wretched thing to see if that might be the case.

    And O/T, but CNN is reporting that Frank Lautenberg won’t seek re-election. Clear the decks for Cory Booker.

    On a serious note …

    Doctors in South Africa, Italy, Iran, and India are struggling against a strain of totally antibiotic resistant TB. See here for the CDC paper. This is important as 40% of the US cases are in the AA population, see here for the why, which as a percentage of the total US population is a horrendous infection rate.

    (There’s more info out there but I’ve run into the 3 Links boundary.)

    With the AA community having the highest HIV infection rate this new TB strain, if (when?) it gets established, would hit hard. The CDC HIV Fact Sheet reports:

    Blacks represent approximately 14% of the U.S. population, but accounted for an estimated 44% of new HIV infections in 2010. They also accounted for 44% of people living with HIV infection in 2009.

    With no drugs and no immune system people with HIV are essentially dead people walking once they contract the TB strain.

    @PeakVT:

    India is the really Bad News. They know they’ve got it. They have no idea how many people are carriers. Antibiotics are available over the counter in India so symptoms will be masked until the carrier collapses but, meanwhile, they’ve been spreading the disease with every cough.

    ETA: India is Bad News because if it goes endemic there it will quickly go pandemic and spread across the globe. I note airplanes are a perfect environment for TB to skip to a new host.

    An Motion to Re-consider (do it all again) has to be proposed by a Senator voting Aye or did not vote:

    In the case of a yea-and-nay vote, any senator who voted with the prevailing side or who did not vote may, on the same calendar day or on either of the next two days the Senate is actually in session, make a motion to reconsider the question.

    @PeakVT:

    CDC has their little list and it’s probable every disease listed will be totally resistant by 2030. Gonorrhea is almost there already. 10% of new cases are resistant to all but a three drug “cocktail”. CDC recommends:

    .. dual therapy with the injectable cephalosporin ceftriaxone and either azithromycin or doxycycline

    And that, my friend, is it. There aren’t any other protocols known to work.

    So guys … wrap that sucker. I gar-on-tee you do NOT want a dose of the clap. Lends a whole new meaning to the phrase, “that itchy, burning, sensation.”

    I believe this is real. Sadly, I’ve seen well intentioned white folk try to rap…once. as a close to 40 y.o. white lady who listens to rap frequently, it still makes me shudder. Some humans just don’t understand the true artistry of rap, which can be amazingly emotionally expressive. Also too, I just don’t think the sort of people who performed this ‘rap’ understand irony well enough to create this a performance art. I’d love to be wrong about that though…
