Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

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

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

People are weird.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

The willow is too close to the house.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

A consequence of cucumbers

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

No Justins, No Peace

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Accountability, motherfuckers.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

North of Boston Meet-Up, This Saturday

As previously discussed, EFGoldman and his lovely bride will be weekending in my area, so we’re planning to get together at Su Chang‘s in Peabody on Saturday. I’m thinking a start time of 5pm will give us a chance to get settled before the weekend dinner rush (although in my experience, it won’t get too noisy to talk even at the busiest time).

Confirmed attendees, so far: Party-sparker EFGoldman & spouse, me & my Spousal Unit, and Lakhe (who set up the first Boston-area meetup). If you plan to come, leave me a comment here, so I can make a reasonable guess at the headcount when I call to make our reservation… Lurkers, significant others & friends all welcome!

    I am very sorry, but I will be unable to attend, although I planned to. My son is coming to our house for dinner, and its the last time we’ll see him before the end of the month. Day after the election, he and his girlfriend are headed to a wedding — in Bangkok. They’ll be in SE Asia for three weeks. So I must send my regrets. Have a great time, or as great as anyone can until this @#&$#% election is over.

    Alas, I no longer live in Boston but in the wilds of deepest Connecticut, or I would be there.

    Had I world enough, and time… our local little airport has feeder flights to Boston, a major hub.

    If anyone wants to come on up sometime, lunch at the Airport CAVU Cafe (some nice foodie comfort food) is on ME.

    I’d love to see if there’s any interest in a Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill meet up in NC, after the election.

    So we can celebrate President-Elect Hillary Clinton, Senator-Elect Deborah Ross, and Governor-Elect Roy Cooper.

    Will be here for a few days after Victory Tuesday, but plans are uncertain after that …

    Can’t make it Saturday – but a T friendly Boston meetup would be most awesome.

    A great idea would be for anyone planning on going to the meet-up to head just a litttttle further north to 15 Ermer Rd in Salem, NH at 12:00pm, knock a few GOTV doors for yours truly, then finish by 3pm, debrief with me, remind me there’s still sanity in the world and good Democrats in my party, then bomb up to Peabody and send everyone who can’t make it my warmest regards and fondest wishes.

    GOTV door knocking is the easiest door knocking in the world! We spent the last 4 months finding you Democrats, so you can go, meet cute dogs, talk to wonderful liberals, remind them to vote, and have me charm you all with my canvass training and Keurig ability.

    I’m going to say yes. The spouse has another commitment and unless I can bribe my 15 yo son with pot stickers it will just one.

    I am planning to come. (But…a recent Dx of a painful non-contagious (!!) non has me in circles, so I am chronically unreliable. Yet I really, really want to come along….

    Haven’t commented in 5-6 years, but lurk on here at least once daily. In grad school class until 5, but may come down for a beer or two.
