Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The words do not have to be perfect.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

The willow is too close to the house.

Republicans got rid McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

This fight is for everything.

    We had a cat sitter come in to feed the kitties and scoop their poops while we were on vacation, and they seem a little put out that the nice lady isn’t coming by anymore to give them wet food and work the feather toy during the day.

    Lots of rallies in support of Mike Brown around the country. Here’s one in front of CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta:

    Seen today in redder-than-red, very upscale Peachtree City, Georgia: Late model Porsche with a Michelle Nunn bumper sticker. Gave me something to smile about on an otherwise depressing day.

    Well, with one month left on my two-year contract with AT&T, I had to pay an early termination fee to get them to unlock my iPhone so that I can drop a local SIM into it while I am in the UK at the beginning of next month. I’m not changing US carriers, so a waiver would have been nice. But they’re probably mad at me for finally taking the time to wade through their available service offerings and finding the one that increases the data allowance for our three phones and one tablet while reducing the monthly charge by about 60 percent.

    It’s tempting to say that I’ve bought my last subsidized phone, but I’m not saying that until I see the pricing of the iPhone 6.

    Ya win a few, ya lose a few. At least I don’t have to buy a new phone for the kid. iPhone prices in the UK are almost the same amount of pounds as the price of the corresponding model in dollars in the US (ouch!).

    The only things that are relative bargains are products from UK manufacturers, and even then only if you get the VAT refunded.

    @Gin & Tonic: Not all things are. Family member was coming here earlier this year and looked into buying a Kindle while here. It was cheaper but we decided it might be kind of a pain due to the way the accounts work. She’s older and getting it re-set once she returned to the UK was going to be a potential problem. So she just got one before she left, got it set up there and it worked fine here. Cost a bit more but the amount of hassle saved made it worth it.

    Question:
    I have Amazon Prime. If I buy a movie from their streaming can I play it on
    Any of my devices, just as long as I sign in as myself, or is the purchase device-specific?

    We had a road trip home with the dog today, too. I’m starting to think, after three trips with her, I may have to ask the vet about a sedative. I can’t handle the nonstop weeping. The only thing that will make her stop (briefly) is the preschooler letting her lick his Cheetos-dust-covered fingers and I don’t know that that is an ideal solution for either of them.

    @Nicole: Wow, that must be a pain. Can you do some cognitive behavior therapy with the dog–like take the dog for short trips and the dog gets a treat in the car so the dog associates car with treats? Just something short like around the block. Then work up to longer trips. Might take some work but maybe worth it?

    @AliceBlue:

    The gods they know I am no big fan of Zell Miller. But it was a brilliant political move in this state to get him to endorse Michelle Nunn. A lot of people who might otherwise be reluctant to pull the lever for a D will do so because ole Zell says it’s okay.

    @raven:

    Raven, Raven, Raven. Do not let the perfect get in the way of the doable. See my #35. I loathe Zell, but dammit, if he can influence a significant portion of the Georgia electorate to cast their ballots for the Democratic candidate instead of the Republican, I welcome him on board. Do you want a Dem majority in the Senate next Congress, or no?
