Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

This really is a full service blog.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

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

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

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

No heavy posting for me today- had a long day, starting with an 8 am run to the airport to pickup Holly, who was in NYC to have her shunt replaced (again). This weekend washer anuervesary, and she had to go up a week early because a shunt was protruding. On the way home, we both decided we are going to use shunt as a dirty word from now on.

Oh, and this happened- sometime in the last week Thurston’s right ear decided “Ehh, screw it,” and we are now putting it on the Physically Unable to Perform list (Get it- the PUP list! I kill myself, really…).

    She’s some kind of masochist, that woman. Maher pretty much took her apart, a fellow (well, formerly fellow) NYTer took her apart on Morning Ho and now this. Either she likes it or she needs the money from that book bad enough to subject herself to being flayed on live TV. Or both, now that I think of it.

    I’m in love with Thurston’s crooked ears! Almost as much as I’m in love with Lovey’s bat ears.

    Speaking of Lovey, she and Koda are now the fastest of friends. Tug of war is their favorite game. Lovey tugs valiantly and is very fierce about the whole thing. Koda just holds on and when she’s had enough, just lifts her head with the toy in her mouth and Lovey dangling at the other end until she can’t hold on any more. I keep trying to explain that her 8 pounds stands no chance whatsoever against 85 pounds. But Lovey is nothing but persistent!

    John, I believe puppies’ ears don’t take their final position until the puppies are about six months old, and even then, some dogs with only so-so ear leather may sometimes have an ear at half-mast.

    My last failed rescue (I adopted him) came to me at two yo looking pretty cute except for his lowered, floppy ears. He was very nervous and fearful. After a couple of months in a secure home, his ears went to half-mast and they’ve stayed there ever since.

    “Shunt” always reminds me of Julia Sweeney’s really good book (and one-woman show) “God Said Ha!” where her brother with leukemia is given a shunt. Now all I can think of when I hear the word is, “I tell you what, I love my shunt!”

    @Corner Stone:

    No, but she “won” in the sense that Hayes was just nailing jelly to the wall, and nothing stuck. He was obviously always thinking “you are such a fucking liar” whenever she responded, but he didn’t come close to making her squirm, or concede anything. This is the result of Hayes having a lovefest show every night, with everyone agreeing with each other: his confrontational interviewing skills atrophy (if he ever had any in the first place).

    The thing with Miller is not that she got stuff about Iraq horribly wrong – almost the entire media did – but that she was such a willing and shameless hack for blindly regurgitating all the talking points fed to her by the Bush Administration. That’s how he should have kept attacking her, without getting sidetracked.

    It wasn’t a CH lovefest session because he challenged someone no one on the left likes. He stuck it right in her face, in a manner that he could use. He isn’t Bill fucking O’Reilly.
    She was never going to break down and admit the truth but he made her sit there and take it. You can say that isn’t useful, and that’s fine. But he did what he had to do.

    When I was out swimming at Hunting, a bit out from the shore, a dolphin swung by reasonably close. It was an intense 2 seconds until I figured out what it was as it zoomed out of sight. I went into the beach so I could take a moment.

    So here’s a new one: my cat just tried to blow up my house.

    He was begging for food while I was at the counter, and decided to go in the “forbidden zone” of the stove. I hissed him off. A few seconds later I smelled gas. Seems he managed to kick one of the burner knobs partially open with his rear leg on his way up. It was a hell of a good thing it happened while I was here.

    So now I’m wondering how to kitty-proof a gas stove.

    Shunt is all shunted up and bullshunt. Yep, that works.

    Also, too: Judith Miller saw and still sees her job as gaining access to important people and telling her readers what those people think, in the guise of “information.” So she doesn’t feel guilty or duped or anything like that — she feels great about how she did.

    Hearing her castigate Rolling Stone for not following basic journalistic practices was pretty nauseating, though. I was listening as I was cooking dinner, and I did a lot of swearing as I was mashing the taters.
