Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

In my day, never was longer.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Bark louder, little dog.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

    I could almost swear that you must have seen my link to the Royal Guardsmen some long-dead thread earlier today…I mean, seriously?? How do you end up thinking about “Snoopy and the Red Baron”, for all love??

    Fun Fact to Know and Tell: The Royal Guardsmen were actually from the Tampa area! And here when I was a kid I thought they were a British Invasion band!

    If you start with that one we have to have The Return of the Red Baron.

    Omaha World Herald:

    Omaha Dad Finds Pot Brownies, Eats 4 of Them, Says Mean Things to Cat

    Omaha police officers were called to a house near 90th and Maple Streets about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday to investigate an accidental overdose. They learned that a 53-year-old man had been unloading groceries and found some brownies in the back seat of a car that his adult children had used earlier in the day.

    The man ate four of the brownies. …

    … Paramedics called to the scene who checked the man found his vital signs to be normal. But they noted that he was displaying odd behavior — crawling around on the floor, randomly using profanities and calling the family cat a “bitch.”

    The man told paramedics he felt like “he’s trippin’.” He declined their offer to be taken to the hospital.

    Guess that makes it good time to play Omaha (Golden Palominos, circa 1985).

    @tom: The Unicorn Song was my dad’s favorite. For some reason it tickled him immensely. Or maybe it was just the Irish Rovers version of it.

    man, i played the hell out of that Irish Rovers ‘Unicorn’ record when i was a wee lad.

    her eyes they shone like the diamonds
    you’d think she was queen of the lahhhnd
    and her hair hung over her sho-oul-ders
    tied up with a black velvet band

    @JGabriel: Well, that’s nice, but I prefer the original of “Omaha” – mostly because I consider Moby Grape to have been a criminally underrated band…

    Check out the writer’s credit for the Unicorn song sometime.

    Yep, it’s good ould Shel McSilverstein! (Also see “A Boy Named Sue”. Guy pops up everywhere.)
