Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

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

Let there be snark.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Consistently wrong since 2002

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Republicans in disarray!

The willow is too close to the house.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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

I really should read my own blog.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

In my day, never was longer.

And what is it with this Beyonce and Jay Z, amirite? This hip-hop stuff. I don’t get it:

In his defense, this is kind of how I feel about speedwalking. I mean, are they walking? Are they running? What’s going on with it?

    Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
    See I’m influenced by the ghetto you ruined
    That same dude you gave nothing, I made something doing
    What I do through and through and
    I give you the news, with a twist it’s just his ghetto point-of-view
    The renegade, you been afraid
    I penetrate pop culture, bring ’em a lot closer to the block where they
    Pop toasters, and they live with they moms
    Got dropped roasters, from botched robberies niggas crotched over
    Mommy’s knocked up cause she wasn’t watched over
    Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked
    No he’s not around, now how that sound to ya, jot it down
    I bring it through the ghetto without riding ’round
    Hiding down ducking strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
    Just read a magazine that fucked up my day
    How you rate music that thugs with nothing relate to it?
    I help them see they way through it, not you
    Can’t step in my pants, can’t walk in my shoes
    Bet everything you worth; you lose your tie and your shirt

    Paging EF Goldman! At rally tonight, Trump read letters, one in which Tom Brady said he’d voted for him, the other in which Bill Belichick praised him for standing tall against the media. Thing is, Brady said on the radio this morning he hadn’t voted yet, and early voting here ended last Friday. For another, “Belichick’s” letter bore a distinct resemblance to the prose style of one D. Trump. Poor Stacey James, the Pats’ PR guy, just had his Monday night ruined.

    One of the biggest moral bombshells handed to Billy by the Tralfamadorians, incidentally had to do with sex on Earth. They said their flying-saucer crews had identified no fewer than seven sexes on Earth, each essential to reproduction. Again: Billy couldn’t possibly imagine what five of those seven sexes had to do with the making of a baby, since they were sexually active only in the fourth dimension.

    @Bill E Pilgrim: A comedienne had a pretty funny taco truck video on Facebook. She went through all the taco-bilities: kimchi taco, falafel taco, chicken tikka ma-taco….hilarious.

    ETA: Leslie Kritzer is her name, I believe.

    My fave taco wagon went under, but my new fave taqueria will get some celebratory cash tomorrow. Wish Senate was a better projection than 50/50. We were more hopeful earlier this year, IIRC.

    Moana is awesomesauce. My husband who was a little “meh” about Frozen absolutely loved it. At this weekend’s afterparty, someone in line for the ladies room said, “All of the songs are going through my head at the same time!”

    (And I’m not just saying that because of who signs my paycheck. It really is amazing.)

    No wonder Trump hates Jay-Z. Jay-Z not only really is the self-made man that Trump pretends he is and wishes he were, he’s almost certainly also worth more than Trump. And after tomorrow, Jay-Z’s brand is still going to be worth millions, in stark contrast to the GOP loser.

    @Omnes Omnibus: sounds like the start of a long discussion: favorite 3-ingredient cocktail. I’m currently partial to the sidecar – lemon juice, cointreau, and cognac (currently B&B). Margarita would be up there too for the summer months.

    @Omnes Omnibus: That’s why I put it as a question. I figured it might do the least damage in a white sangria, but I don’t know. Personally I prefer my sangria to have wine, fruit, a bit of brandy, and not be too sweet/sugary.

    @Omnes Omnibus: No. I also wouldn’t mix brandy and soda. I don’t drink much at all. Basically the occasional high end beer, sangria if I’m eating Cuban, Brazilian, other Latin American, and/or Spanish food, and the occasional high end single malt. If I have one drink a month, I’ve really drunk a lot.

    Some possibilities – maybe?

    Bake or purchase a sponge cake. Poke numerous holes in it with a fork. Generously drizzle the stuff on/into the cake.

    Mix a little in when making whipped cream. Ditto for French toast batter.

    Acapulco Tacos is the name of the little truck about 7 minutes drive from my house — between the Circle K and the used tire place. Hopefully when Trump loses, there’ll be some taco trucks closer than 7 minutes away.

    The Boyfriend ended up somehow with a bottle of chocolate rum. We can’t figure out quite what to do with it. Bought some cherry vodka on a lark, but not matter what I mixed it with, it ended up tasting like cough syrup.
