Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

He really is that stupid.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

The new temporary speaker of the house is a spiteful little shit.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

No one could have predicted…

Yes, there is stuff on the internet that doesn’t suck.

In other quirky entertainment news, from io9:

Super Clyde, the CBS comedy pilot in which Rupert Grint gets rich and decides to become a superhero, is getting an actor worthy of its Batman-spoofing concept. Stephen Fry will be playing the butler who helps Grint’s Clyde with his crimefighting quest.

Deadline reports that Fry will be playing Randolph, the butler and sidekick to young Clyde. Clyde is a meek fast-food worker who comes into a fortune and decides, taking his cues from Batman, to become a superhero. But given the comedic nature of the show and Fry’s prior butler experience, their relationship may be less Alfred-and-Bruce than Jeeves-and-Wooster….

What else is on the agenda for the start of another week?

    I still like listening to NPR on my commute to and from work, and when I can, I like to listen to Tell Me More with Michel Martin, but for the love of Ira Glass, she keeps having as a guest Mary Kate Cary, a hack-tacular former Bush speech writer who adds nothing to the show except what I guess is the both sides do it mantra NPR has apparently decided to adopt.

    She dismisses every legitimate complaint against the GOP as the media making up stories and once compared a joke Louis CK made about Sarah Palin to Rush Limbaugh’s attack on Sandra Fluke as a way of saying liberals have said horrible things too. Except that Louis CK isn’t an unelected leader of the dems, but never mind that. She makes me want to throw my radio out the window, and really makes an otherwise interesting show hard to listen too.

    Although I have to say that her “Why Romney Will Win” article still makes me laugh. The title alone is giggle inducing.

    Also, Ben Franklin’s connection to the glass harmonica is fascinating history. Purcell, Mozart and others wrote music specifically for it.

    I’m wondering if my car is still parked down the street. My neighborhood has parking by permit only, in the form of plastic tabs that hang from the rear-view mirror. Can’t remember if I attached mine when I came in last night. (It’s slightly annoying to leave on while driving.) I hope my memory lapse means it’s an automatic habit now and not “You did forget and now the parking Gestapo has towed your car.” Ugh. Not a good way to start the week. At some point I’ll get dressed and go look, but I’m still too fragile right now to sustain the ragegasm that might ensue.

    Whenever I have one of those grim days where I think that the forces of Good are outnumbered and outgunned by the monstrous evil of the GOP, the idiotic stories I’m hearing about CPAC make me–hopeful.

    For example, Mitt Romney actually made a speech where he hallucinated about “taking our country back.”

    It’s amazing. After the electoral ass-kicking he got, Romney still doesn’t get it. And I bet you the President of the Lucky Sperm Club is going to run again in 2016.

    Please proceed, Republicans.

    We have a beautiful frosting of snow in Northern Virginia. That was nice to wake up to.

    And, now have IndiePlex and RetroPlex movie channels on the cable lineup.

    Caught the last 30 mins of “Grand Theft Parsons” about Gram Parsons’ roadie and friends stealing his body for cremation in the desert, as he would have wished. Kind of cool indie flick. Johnny Knoxville plays the roadie.

    I’m having a an ongoing discussion with a few rightwingers on a pretty simple premise that shouldn’t be that controversial or ideological. Ha!

    Me: It doesn’t matter which msm you follow, Fox or the “liberal” media, none of the big boys are going to give us the news we need to know, actual facts and stuff. We have to vet what msm tells us or more importantly, what media won’t talk about. Research other news sources. Don’t just trust, verify.

    Rightwingers: My team is better than your team. Just look at Fox ratings. WE’RE NUMBER 1. Totally ignoring and oblivious to the central point I’m making.

    I need some other idioms than “you’re missing the fucking forest for the fucking trees” or “that fucking flew right over your fucking heads” to shout at the moon.

They flushed out the most cognitive impaired misanthropes from their caves and gave them a national platform to vent their rage and prejudices. They are really convinced that they represent the views of the majority of Americans. They love the affirmation they get from rightwing media which is a lot more fun than sitting on their favorite bar stool muttering to the other wingnuts at the bar.

    I used to work with a guy who played this thing – usually called, I think, the glass harmonium. He was getting work playing it. He told me that after every 2nd or 3rd gig, someone would come up to him and tell him earnestly that he was killing himself and that he had to stop before it was too late. . It turns out that poisoning was a concern when these things were made from leaded glass (my friend had made his own, it was fine), but also there was a time when people thought that its eerie sound proved that it was a satanic instrument, and that the Devil would claim you if you played it.

    Sisu also translates to fortitude, guts. With Finns, there is a fine line between sisu and stubbornness. ; )

    The mispronouncing of the word sauna drives Finnish Americans crazy. It’s pronounced sow-na not sanna. I surprised that the word sauna was pronounced correctly on one of the ads for that insurance company with Flo. What amused me was how one of the guys with his pants on fire really put a Finnish emphasis on the word sauna, “It’s like a s-o-w-na in here”.

    @Mnemosyne:

    I’m assuming you gave him a fatherly clout on the back of the head when you picked him up just for being such a dumbass as to attempt to drive on one of the two nights of the year when the cops are actively looking for drunk drivers (with New Year’s Eve being the other).

    Uh, fortunately, he’s indicated that he gave the kid a clout on the head for the important part: the death-baiting act of getting behind the wheel after drinking. Whether the cops were out in force and what legal punishment he might receive as a result is hardly the big issue.

    Since the justice system is (rightly) taking care of the “got behind the wheel of a two-ton vehicle while drunk” part with fines and license suspensions rather than leaving it to parental punishment, I didn’t think that Schlemizel needed to concentrate on that aspect and could point out a few other issues apart from the legal ones. As in, “Take a cab next time, dumbfuck,” which is not usually something the cops will tell you while they’re arresting you.

    @Poopyman:

    I’m on the hunt for Cole’s mustard.

    Late (as usual) to this thread but I just found a loaf of rye bread behind the refrigerator that had inexplicably disappeared the other day. We thought the dog had eaten it.

    The fridge is too hard for me to move by myself and I can’t poke it out with anything I have tried so far. It may just sit there and mold until the end of time.

    I too have found pork chops in the trunk well past their due date.
