Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

So many bastards, so little time.

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

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

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 …

    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.
