Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

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

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

This blog will pay for itself.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Usually wrong but never in doubt

After roe, women are no longer free.

Come on, man.

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

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

    It’ll kill my Cahtolic grandmother to say this, but don’t care. Oh wait, she’s already dead. Never mind.

    “A New Pope”? If you were DougJ, you probably would have also written “Help me, Pope-y-Wan(Juan?), you’re my only hope!”

    Longtime lurker, delurking.

    I read on LGM that Google Reader is going the way of the dinosaur, so I’m posting to find out if anyone has any recommendations for another rss feed? Sad to see it go. :(

    Figure I’d rather get a rec from someone here than elsewhere. Trust you guys more.

    @Yutsano:

    “My father is turning over in his grave!”
    “Your father is ALIVE!”
    “This will kill him.”

    So far, the bit I’m listening to it’s all Munchkins and no beanies, but I snuck out to the real site when BBC4e failed me. I’m not sure either of my dead grandmothers had opinions either way about muncnkins. Or the yellow ones, Quadlings? I’m pretty sure Quislings is wrong.

    I’m surprised that Elon seemed surprised about Winnie Mandela.

    Ouch. Seven comments at this place in two hours? Ur doing it rong. (Pro-tip: use the keyboard and shut-up. It’s a media-is-the-message thing.)

    The people here are generally old and need their posts to be succinct. They don’t have the attention span you kids have.

    OK. I’m making this the eighth comment. Look thru John’s archives and you’ll see that such a low count hasn’t happened in a decade.

    Sack up, son! The Blogmeister didn’t bring you aboard ’cause he thought we wanted to listen to wankers yak about this and that. I’m guessing he liked your perspective and ideas. And I suspect he was hoping you’d condense them into short posts.

    TOGTFO. Type or get the fuck out.

    Yr. fren,
    Sparky

    PS. CLick on my blog for further emphasis.

    @sparky:

    Maybe if the podcasts were offered in shorter bursts? I mean, I’m interested in the “Running is Stupid” podcast and downloaded it to listen to later, but it’s an hour and 45 minutes long. I have a short commute, so I don’t really have an opportunity during the day to listen to something that long in a single stretch.

    ETA: In fact, this is my problem with most podcasts — do they really have to be the length of a frickin’ feature film?

    @sparky: Stick to your own damn space to issue pronouncements in, Francis. No skin off your nose how John and the TWiB crowd organize their content.
    What’s with the fly-by pontificating? The usual agenda, trying to drive a little attention to your “I know what I’m doing and am perfect” domain?
