Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

    Larger than life.

    Taking it easy this Saturday night, although I am sorely regretting ordering a pulled pork platter for dinner. Way too much food.

    On the bright side, have basically got wedding invitations nailed down – one of the last big-ticket items before focusing on the fun nitty-gritty stuff like what flowers should be at the center of each table.

    Tunch you were one fine feline.

    Ten years ago, I came into possession of a mama cat and her five, 1 day old kittens. Hilarity ensued.

    Feeling very nostalgic today. Anyone else? (I mean besides our blogmaster)

    Edit: a vixen like that, I hope they don’t call her bad names and try to take away her birth control!

    Edit 2: Do you have a current photo of Homer? I still think of him as “home and the bee”, where he was such a sweetie.

    Edit 3: my puppy, Tucker, went through a teenaged phase where he basically flipped me off and said “you’re not the boss of me”. Thankfully, it passed. And now he is such a sweet boy.

    I will have to say, and I’ll say it now since I missed the morning open thread: there are few ways worse to wake up in the morning than to a phone call from your mother informing you that your father has Multiple Myeloma, a.k.a. bone marrow cancer.

    He was a fine, fine kitty and gone far too soon. I don’t blame you, feeling nostalgic. Living with and loving an animal changes you, they become as much a natural part of the home as anything. I still expect to open the door and find my boys waiting to greet me. Little shadows of movement make me check to see if a cat is wandering by. Pets fill up a space in the home and the heart. When they’re gone, it’s not that you can’t get another pet that does that, it’s just that the holes are custom shaped. I miss these little guys more than I can enunciate and I can enunciate a lot.

    I hope you are still here. I mentioned this before in a thread a few weeks ago about someone else with multiple myeloma – the outlook now can be significantly better in the past. The best example is Geraldine Ferraro. She lived about 12 years after her diagnosis of myeloma. The results used to be much worse, but derivatives of thalidomide have been quite effective in treating this disease. Lenalidomide (brand name Revlamid) is expensive as sin but quite effective.

    News site MalaysiaKini quotes Der Spiegel saying that former PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, while in that office, was at the top of a list of national leaders targeted for spying by the NSA.
    Oh, come on. Abdullah was to Dr Mahathir twelve years ago what David Moyes is now to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United: a likeable enough successor, but relatively ineffectual because he lacked his predecessor’s overwhelming (and, to be honest, often excessive) force of character. Only one thing could put Pak Lah at the top of a list of people to spy on: alphabetical order.

    @Amir Khalid:

    A more topical apt comparison:

    Abdullah was to Dr Mahathir twelve years ago what John Major was to Margaret Thatcher a decade before

    Black death not spread by rat fleas.. It was pneumonic plague, and it’s still alive and could kill us all again if antibiotics don’t work any more.

    Have a nice day!

    @Amir Khalid: I’m going to guess that he made his way up the list due to analyst embellishment. If he’s anything like John Major, the poor analyst had to be bored senseless. As a leader, major was known for never giving an interesting speech. Pretty much always saying what you’d expect him to say in every situation. So as an analyst, your Berlitz Malay training course is just wasted. But none of your supervisors at the Agency speak it anyway. So you write reports to make him an interesting man. No one could be that conventional, you tell your bosses, his proper speech is just riddled with code words targeted to activating sleeper cells.

    @Suffern ACE:
    There wouldn’t be much for an analyst to embellish. The first (Musa Hitam) and third (Anwar Ibrahim) of Dr M’s four Deputy PMs were charismatic and ambitious men; Anwar still has both qualities. The second (Abdul Ghafar Baba) and fourth (Pak Lah) he raised up from has-beendom because he found their lack of ambition less threatening. Pak Lah’s time as PM was like — well, imagine if Dagwood Bumstead were POTUS.

    @Amir Khalid:

    Yes, but it was after 9/11 and Badawi was a scary, scary Muslim, so clearly he needed to be kept under close surveillance in case he, you know, went all Muslim-y or something.

    Have I apologized lately for my country losing its goddamned mind after 9/11? Because it was embarrassing enough at the time, and it’s even more embarrassing to have it keep coming back like a hangover.

    I never thought I’d miss an animal that I haven’t so much as snuggled with as much as I miss that mound of fluffiness and fat. If there is a Heaven, I hope Tunch and my fat kitty are comparing “spread” sizes right now. Love a big, fat cat.

    I started to read this blog thanks to Tunch. I especially like the “Feed” poster.

    And I dropped a tear when he died,

    Bid ol’ fat bastard,

    He sitteth on the right hand of God,

    God’s gain, My loss.
