Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Second rate reporter says what?

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

We still have time to mess this up!

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

So many bastards, so little time.

In after Baud. Damn.

If you’re not in a food coma, here’s an open thread to get you through the night.

Valley Girl was on the other night and I had forgotten what a guilty pleasure that movie is for me. No idea why, it’s totally tripendicular, ya know?

Have at it…

    If I can put on my screenwriting hat for a minute, “Valley Girl” is a very well-structured classical romantic comedy. It adds on the 1980s trappings, but otherwise it would fit right into the golden age of the 1940s, structure-wise. That’s probably why it’s still satisfying to watch 30 years later.

    And, of course, the soundtrack is still awesome.

    The grandcat is visiting, which means a full night’s sleep is not allowed, as the dog must be taunted into waking.

    So I’m up watching Grosse Point Blank – another fun movie with a banging soundtrack.

    You might have seen VG on THiS TV, an antenna station that likes to end its movies 6-7 minutes short of the hour to stick more important asbestos lawsuit commercials in.

    @Mnemosyne: i’ve read a few interviews with the director and apparently the producers just wanted/expected an exploitation film and were quite shocked and happy when they realized they had an actual movie.

    And also in a bit part Michelle Meyrink who was in the same graduating class as me!
    She had a much bigger part in Real Genius another 1980’s gem.
