Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

đŸŽ¶ Those boots were made for mockin’ đŸŽ”

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

So many bastards, so little time.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Second rate reporter says what?

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

People are agitating for music. And something to do with small tootsies. So here’s some Little Feat:

I’m going to bed.

    A lovely piece of syncopation. I play it once every couple weeks when I need to make my soul sway.

    Little Feat hooked me into Balloon Juice. I thought nobody else remembered them until I read John’s effusive praise of Goodbye Columbus.

    I honestly don’t think I’ve drunk as much alcohol in my entire life as I have this year. 2016 is sucking.

    @Mary G: I came upon Little Feat via Bonnie, Linda, and Emmylou.

    It’s been icing on the cake To find congenial musical tastes here.

    Small tootsies? How ’bout some “Popsicle Toes”?

    @DivF:

    Lowell George and Little Feat did a lot of work on Robert Palmer’s (excellent) early albums (and also toured with him). “Give Me an Inch.”

    The Meters also worked on Robert Palmer’s early albums, and this is one of my favorite late-night songs by them: “Stormy.”

    @Steeplejack:
    When I get in A Mood, the late 60s early 70s set looks like
    Meters
    Booker T and the MGs
    Santana
    Tower of Power

    And a few others- you get the idea.

    Oh, yeah. Maybe a little El Chicano? “Tell Her She’s Lovely.”

    @DivF:

    One of my favorite early Santana songs: “Treat.” I used to be able to play the guitar solo, but that was one time, on my best day ever, with a following breeze.

    @DivF:

    Okay, I don’t know why, but somehow Joe Jackson needs to be in there too: “You Can’t Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want).” I think it’s the strong horn section.

    Almost the same beat: Cameo, “Candy.”

    @Steeplejack: What I don’t know about music is absolutely everything, and I admit that without reservation. But I did want to get a late night musical thread started for you and Omnes, so please pardon my lack of taste and credit the intention. You all will educate me musically…. Really hope this link works….

    Great song! One of my favorites.

    Here’s one I’ve been watching a lot lately: an incandescent performance of “Fine and Mellow” by Billie Holiday.

    And I’m off to bed shortly.
