Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

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

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Petty moves from a petty man.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

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

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Mutual Assured Destruction

Those of you who have ever raised a teenage girl will understand this:

US President Barack Obama has warned his daughters that if they get tattoos, he and his wife will get matching ones on the same place on their bodies.

In an interview on NBC’s Today show, Mr Obama said he hoped the “family tattoo” threat would discourage teen rebellion.

Mr Obama said he had warned Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, that he and First Lady Michelle Obama would show off their matching tattoos on YouTube.

I’m glad to see that the Obamas are getting a parental benefit from the Presidency, because it’s the YouTube part of the threat that is the real bite, and it only has bite because those kids know that Michelle and Barack showing tramp stamps on YouTube would be the first video to beat Gangnam Style.

    I once warned my daughter that as a punishment I would embarrass her by dancing in front of her friends at her birthday party. The 7 year old called my bluff by requesting my dance moves in front of the crowd.

    @The Other Bob:

    Well, your screwup was timing. Of course that threat wasn’t going to work on a 7-year-old. Most 7-year-olds haven’t yet reached the stage where everything parents do is an embarrassment to them. At that age, parents acting goofy is just free entertainment.

    By the time they’re TEENAGERS, though, that sort of threat will have a lot more bite.

    @Face:

    n the United States, there is no federal law stating a required age to be tattooed. In most states, when a person reaches the age of 18 in the U.S., they are legally considered an adult. Many states require that the person being tattooed is an adult over 18, but some states do allow minors (17 or less) to be tattooed with parental consent.

    My then-18-year-old went to France one summer, and eventually admitted that she’d gotten a tattoo while there. I discovered that I didn’t have any particular feelings about it as a fait accompli. I might have thought it was a bad idea if she had asked (there’s a concept) but it’s her body. I’m still stuck mentally in the era where tattoos are something drunken sailors get and then regret. I accept my mind doesn’t match current reality so I keep my mouth shut on the subject in general

    @Morzer: The way the story goes: Rose sort of becomes a god by merging with the soul of the Tardis. When she does this, she leaves the clue “Bad Wolf” throughout time to warn her self and the Doctor, so it keeps appearing before and after the events that caused it. When she get trapped in an alternate universe, the one place she and the Doctor could talk was called Bad Wolf Bay. Later on, when the Daleks try to destroy everything, causing the universes to bleed into each other, Rose leaves “Bad Wolf” as a clue to one of the Doctor’s other companions.

    The threat may work for a while. My own two offspring waited until they were legal in NYS at 18, then a little longer until they had the dough for what they wanted. Daughter got a Kurt Vonnegut quote, son got a zombie rising from the dead. Both of their tatts were tributes to dead friends.

    The older kid has gone on to a couple more: went with a bunch of friends on a Friday 13th to get a discounted tatt associated with the day, and then one more to match a friend’s cupcake.

    I’m also from the era when tattoos were taboo. Times change. Lasers can remove tattoos if the regret is too great.

    The other part, which is a lesson of parenting: we don’t own our children’s bodies. Dire threats against tattoos really aren’t worth much once your kid moves out.

    It would be kinda fun to see the entire Obama family sporting “Buck Fush” on a bicep, though.

    Parental disapproval only made the forbidden fruit of my first tattoo taste that much sweeter.

    My advice to my childrens re: tats is more of the utilitarian variety. Don’t have a friend do it, b/c it will look like shite and is a good way to get hepatitis. And get it in a place that can be hidden by business dress, as you will have job interviews someday.

    I’m 55 – so I’m also from the “tattoos-are-for-bikers-and-drunken-sailors-era.”

    So what?

    I got a beautiful custom tattoo (a phoenix) inked on my right calf about 3 years ago – it does a fabulous job of covering a silver-dollar sized patch of spider veins (a legacy of two pregnancies) that proved impervious to (a far more expensive) round of sclerotherapy. Wish I’d done it sooner!

    If my daughter (age 20) – or son (age 23) wanted tats, I’d be 100% ok with it. My daughter, in particular, is a talented fantasy artist, so I know in advance that she’d choose something intricate and interesting – I seriously doubt she’d permit her body to be used as a canvas by anyone less skilled than she is.

    TBH, I feel sorry for Sasha and Malia – their parents are embarrassing them already, and they’ve done nothing to deserve it. I understand why: they’re under intense public scrutiny and every perceived teenaged misstep – no matter how small – will be amplified by the media and right-wing echo chamber. Thus, the girls are required to be perfect – which sucks, IMHO.

    As a father and teacher whenever I get asked for an opinion on tats I always leave them with this: “If you are determined to get a tat no matter what at least wait until you are 30. Most human beings are still evolving as a person until our early 30’s after which you start getting set in your ways, values and belief systems. More than likely your tat will reflect that. Otherwise you will regret it later. OTOH, if you are the same person at 35 that you were at 15/16 then wanting to get a tat is minor compared to the fact you haven’t grown or evolved as a person since then for which you have real problems.

    My sister’s biker chick friend:

    Don’t get tatooed anywhere that’s going to sag. This one used to be a short-stemmed rose.

    Oh goody.. I get to tell my favorite-moment-as-a-mom tale.. when my son was 16 or so, he was a hulking muscled cross between my Scottish kin and his father’s African genes..and as such, I think I gave up on spanking [and yes, in the 70’s, one did still paddle a diaper-padded bottom] when he was a toddler.. but as a teenager, I would occasionally swat him on his well muscled upper arm for effect. So, we are driving along one day..and he says something not so cute..and I respond as a great mother & swat him on this 12 inch bicep…and tears start to flow down his cheeks. I say, “Quincy, what?? I couldn’t possibly have hurt you with that?” And thru braced teeth he confesses that he got a tattoo the day before..and knowing I was categorically against same..hadn’t told me. And I had just swatted him in that oh so painful spot! So..I sat there..laughing..and feeling sort of bad because I didn’t mean to hurt him but it was such justice and he knew it. He has gone on to get a number of tatoos but very few if any show..he does after all work in the investment world..I buy vintage Pucci, he gets tattos. I tell him its his African heritage..but of course none of his uncles or father or grandfather has such an urge. My daughter has absolutely no desire for a tattoo..anywhere. I suspect the Obamas should chill out..I certainly had to.

    Hell, five years in the Navy and at least two trips to the parlor (that I can remember at least) and I’m tattoo free.

    Not that I care about the tattoo craze that has been going on for the last 15 years or more. I know CEO’s of fortune 500 companies that have them on their lower arms.

    I just never thought up something poignant or clever enough to justify a permanent place on my body.

    But I absolutely love the redneck with tattoos of his favorite professional wrestler on his calf! Wasn’t it a professed redneck who complained that certain people should wear a stupid sign?

    Hmm. On the opposite end of the spectrum, when my son wants his first tattoo, I’ll be joining him to get my next.

    @maurinsky: I’m getting my son’s name on my left pec (over the heart) in Gallifreyan. And it will be awesome.

    I have one on my wrist, goddess symbol. Got it after the birth of my second son. With all the males in this house I needed some female energy.
