Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

So many bastards, so little time.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

He really is that stupid.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

This fight is for everything.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The Soweto Gospel Choir and a local Woolworths got together to organize this Mandela tribute/remembrance:

(Lyrics and translation.) (h/t GOS)

Gotta have something of an anecdote to all the crap out there, and this is it for me today.

Enjoy.

    I’ve watched it twice already and I keep crying every time. Not sure I can handle a third. Glad I missed the memorial which sounds like a big mess, except for Obama’s speech. But I’m determined to watch the funeral and I know I’ll be an emotional wreck by the time it’s over.

    It’s always funny to see how stores with the same name are different in different places. Since the sign on the store says “Woolworths Food,” I’m assuming it’s more of a grocery store than the 5-and-dime I think of when I think “Woolworths.”

    In Arizona, Fry’s is a grocery store, but in California, it’s an electronics and appliance store (sort of a cross between a hobby store and Best Buy). But not only is the name the same, the logo is almost identical. Weird.

    @Sister Inspired Revolver of Freedom: actually, the memorial wasn’t a big mess. The MSM were only interested in POTUS and the usual MSM BS.

    Mandela’s grandchildren were great and the dignitaries that spoke (mostly in their own language I believe) like the UN Sec Gen Moon spoke very eloquently. The MSM coverage did not do the memorial justice, IMHO.

    Anyhoo, NOLA is also honoring Mandela as only NOLA can:

    James Andrews to lead second line in honor of Nelson Mandela Sunday

    The passing of former South African president and global human rights icon Nelson Mandela on Dec. 5, 2013, prompted a massive outpouring of heartfelt remembrance and mourning worldwide, as millions celebrated his formidable legacy…

    And now, he’ll be sent off to his rest New Orleans-style…

    I’m mad I’ve got to work, so I’m going to miss it.

    Welcome to the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club website!

    Early in 1909, a group of laborers who had organized a club named “The Tramps,” went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy performed by the Smart Set. The comedy included a skit entitled, “There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me,” about the Zulu Tribe…

    That is how Zulu began, as the many stories go…

    The Washington Post found maybe the best violin player in the world and asked him to play at L’enfant Plaza. That is a Metro station in DC. They wondered if anybody would stop.

    As a former 15 year DC resident, not sure if I would have. The comments, cause shocker nobody stopped, are painful.

    But I like to think, if you watch, there is like a 5-6 year old boy watching all of it. Happy thoughts. Maybe this will change his life. You know, just saying.

    @Mnemosyne: The DVD section. Didnt seem to be cordoned off well enough and dont i sound like a prude You’re right about the magazines. I similarly find it odd that one can get magazines at the airport. David Cross on that subject:

    [On airport pornography] I’ve never seen anybody purchase them, but apparently people are. They wouldn’t carry them just for aesthetic purposes. They’re not trying to impress people with their porn collection, you know. So, it’s just a matter of economics…Apparently enough people are goin’ in there goin’ ‘Oh, whoa… All right! The worlds filthiest ball-draining cum-mag! Right on! This ought to make the flight a little more tolerable. Alright. Oh shit! Ha Ha! Page 35: Puckering virgin assholes – alright I gotta get it. Hope nobody is sitting next to me on the plane, because they’re in for a rude awakening. Cause I’m gonna be spankin’ it!’ Ah, it’s weird. I’m not knocking porn, I love porn… but when I go to the airport I don’t have to buy those magazines, because I have this thing called will power. And I utilize it so that I don’t have to whip my dick out in public. I can wait five hours. At least until I’m in the cab on my way home.

The flash mob aspect of it is most modern and made me giggle, but the song itself was beautiful and I’ve played it several times. When I read Cry, the Beloved Country I would never have imagined that South Africa could become what it has. (Never dreamt of such a thing as a flash mob, either.) It was a beautiful and moving tribute to Mr. Mandela.

I would love to know what went on there. There were a couple of stores in Québec that were unionized, but workers voted to decertify one and Walmart closed the other.

    You may already know about the unionization saga of McDonald’s.

One guy was watching some dudebro type movie with lots of topless women in it and when he saw that I glanced over at his screen at one point he pointedly turned the laptop away from me so I couldn’t see it. I didn’t really care what he was watching, but it still seemed rather discourteous of him to watch that kind of movie on a plane where his seatmates could hardly help but see it.

    Back to Mandela tributes, NPR had a South African poet (Mbali Vilakazi) read her elegy to Mandela, “The Black Pimpernel.” She recites it starting at about 2:00. Worth listening to:

    Actually Woolworths is ubiquitous in all of the bigger South African cities. The one in this clip is pretty much the standard model. There’s no real equivalent here in the US in terms of the shopping experience. Sells clothing, linen and groceries… good quality, reasonable prices, and top class customer service. When I was a kid in the ’60s Woolies sold cheap clothing (I suspect the model was the same in the UK at the time) but in the 80’s started moving to the more up-market boutique-ish experience it is today. This is an ad, but it’s a beautiful and respectful one, yet another in the many post-Mandela’s death responses from South Africans that makes me proud to be one myself.
