Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

No Justins, No Peace

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

So many bastards, so little time.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

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

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

This really is a full service blog.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Consistently wrong since 2002

I’m speechless:

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) on Tuesday blamed the Obama administration for a disastrous chemical spill in West Virginia.

He said at a news conference in D.C. that the country had enough environmental and health regulations, but they were not being properly enforced.

“The issue is this, we have enough regulations on the books,” Boehner remarked. “What the administration ought to be doing is actually doing their jobs. Why wasn’t this plant inspected since 1991?”

“I am entirely confident that there are ample regulations already on the books to protect the health and safety of the American people,” Boehner added. “Somebody ought to be held accountable here.”

“What we try to do is look at those regulations that we think are cumbersome, are over-the-top and are costing our economy jobs. That’s what our focus continues to be.”

Every asshole in Ohio who voted for this putrid fuck should be waterboarded with methylcyclohexene methanol.

What are the odds on our intrepid media confronting this orange shitheel over this outrageous bullshit, and, I dunno, actually looks at the history of deregulation and Republican efforts to neuter the EPA and other regulators? I put the odds at zero and dropping.

    John Boehner’s argument proves perfectly valid…against the Reagan administration.

    Anyone else remember that the Reagan Dept. of the Interior was so lax in enforcing the provisions of the EPA that the Sierra Club had to take the Reagan administration to court to get them to enforce the Clean Water Act?

    When he assumed the presidency in 1981, Ronald Reagan placed near the top of his domestic policy agenda the goal of reducing compliance burdens associated with environmental controls and other health and safety regulations. In his first State of the Union message, the new president said that `a virtual explosion in government regulations during the past decade’ had caused `higher prices, lower employment, and lower productivity growth.’

    Source: “The Reagan judiciary and environmental policy: the impact of appointments to the federal court of appeals,” Boston College Environment Affairs Law Review, Vol. 18, No. 4, 1 August 1991.

As Speaker he could claim the next in line mantle, he’s got name recognition, etc etc. Best case scenario you make a bit of history by being President and Speaker. Alternatively, you win the nomination, lose the general and ride off into the griftsunset, writing memoirs and getting speaking gigs and seats on boards of directors. Of course, Boehner would be the worst case scenario because the base thinks he’s an Orange RINO and hate him, so he’d probably lose Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina in resounding fashion

If the people in the state are ok with letting corporations shit everyone’s nest, they should have no problem paying for cleaning up the shit themselves.

    @Villago Delenda Est: Also the Homer/Marge interaction where Marge asks him a direct question and Homer says, “Marge, I won’t lie to you.” and then just walks out of the room.

    @Villago Delenda Est:

    Eddie: Did you hold a grudge against Mr. Burns?

    Moe: No!

    (The lie detector buzzes, indicating a lie.)

    Moe: Okay, maybe I did, but I didn’t shoot him!

    (The lie detector dings, indicating the truth.)

    Eddie: Checks out. Okay, sir, you’re free to go.

    Moe: Good, ’cause I’ve got a hot date tonight! (buzz) Odd date. (buzz) Dinner with friends. (buzz) Dinner alone. (buzz) Watching TV alone. (buzz) Alright! I’m just going to sit at home and ogle the ladies in the Victoria’s Secret catalog! (buzz) Sears catalog. (ding) Now, would you unhook this already, please?! I don’t deserve this kind of shabby treatment! (buzz)

    Is he asking for more inspectors ? Why don’t they call him on it ? Boner demands more inspectors for all chemical factories throughout the US! Hire more inspectors so the government can inspect your local chemical processing plant and check they are up to code. Republicans want to protect the citizenry!!

    This is actually how I’d write the headline for any report on his little drunken speech. Well, except that I’d spell his name right. Possibly.

    @efgoldman: I live in Ohio. I did NOT vote for the Weeping Cheeto (LOVE this!). That said, I don’t think he cares if/where toxic spills happen, just as long as they don’t inconvenience the corporations people he actually represents.

    For what it’s worth, I live near the Methyl Death leak. The latest news is the Freedom Enterprises founder is a 2 time coke dealer.

    They knew their tank was leaking. They used one (1) cinder-block and one (1) 50 LB sack of absorbent to control the leak, which was 4 (FOUR!!!) feet wide.

    I’m hoping someone goes to jail for failing to abate the situation AND failing to call the water company and the DEP to alert everyone to the problem.

    Not likely, but hope springs eternal, just like toxic leaks!

    @Boudica:
    I too have read other articles which say the same thing. Plants that process “clean coal” in West Virginia are regulated but storage facilities in West Virginia are not regulated.

    I’m betting their Republican Legislature arranged it this way and/or the storage facilities have taken advantage of a loop-hole.

    I don’t know if there are Federal Regulations on Storage Facilites: maybe one of you know?
