Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

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

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

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

So many bastards, so little time.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

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

Cole is on a roll !

A consequence of cucumbers

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Let’s finish the job.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Haven’t tried the pizza. There’s a place in the City Center that bills itself as “NYC’s RAY’s Pizza” Dunno if you have ever been to Ray’s in NYC. But it is the best pizza on this planet. So. Prolly not. But scones and such? Super great.

I went out dog-walking in full rain gear. The dogs didn’t mind, even when I toweled them down afterwards. There is nothing so cute as a fully body doggy water-shake.

    I wish you hadn’t mentioned the canning of Fisher, because it makes me think of tuna and not in a good way.

    The killer winds have hit (they were merely ‘orrible winds today when I was walking in them). They blew the top bin of Xmas lights-n-crap off the stack on the side porch, and earlier blew the door off the shed (again). It will get down to 3°above (out in civilization, that’s -19°), with a windchill of -25. It’ll be back up to 5° by 8 when we leave for school.

    Not sure why they brought it in, but the Costco here has gigantic jars of fig preserves. Each time I’ve passed by them over the last several months it sure looks as if they haven’t sold any at all.

    New manager really played games with their stock – brought in all sorts of weird and expensive crap and stopped stocking way too many old reliable and popular items. First thing the new manager did was rip out the direct line phone by the registers which one could use while shopping to order a pizza for take-out. Sad,

    Donald Trump has drawn ‘first blood’ in the search for his incoming administration’s senior arts role – by tapping up Rambo legend Sylvester Stallone. 
    Sources have told DailyMail.com the president-elect sees Hollywood icon Stallone as the perfect choice to make art great again. 
    The likely position would be Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency that doles out funds to aspiring artists and creative projects.

    Those Seahawks uniforms would put Linda Blair’s projectile vomit to shame.

    Now that is seriously badass insult. See, there is always something to learn at BJ! Besides what appalling taste in colors Cole has, I mean.

    Walked outside, 6 degrees and it feels astringent and is so still it’s hard to believe.

    @mainmata: Oh wanna here my bestest Irish football story? So. 27 yrs ago; my first visit here. I am walking down O’Connell St (the Broadway of Dublin) and I hear a loud roar behind me. Dunno, I’m a stupid 25 year old. A woman in a shop comes out and pulls me back into her shop. Apparently the Irish just won some football thing. I had no idea.

    Now, normally I love a drunk Irish man. But 10,000 of them streaming down O’Connell street? Yeah. Not so much.

    @CaseyL: Some college game earlier this season had one team (I think it was the O-Ducks) in their neon green solids, and the other team was in solid orangey-red.

    It looked like a battle between highway-worker safety vests and a bunch of traffic cones…

    The only way to make it more horrifying would have it be a bowl game played on the Teal Turf in Boise.

    @Baud:

    Nothing in particular, but the only word I can think of to describe that shade of green is ‘bilious’. Still, could be worse. Years ago I and the spousal unit were looking at houses. We visited one that had been “professionally decorated”. Meaning fresh paint and….in the dining room, wallpaper. In three different patterns.

    I have to confess I blurted out “who decorated this room, Ray Charles?”. If by some mischance I’d walked into that room with a hangover I would have wanted to slit my wrists. Did not buy the house, which was just as well since it was on septic and you could smell sewer gas in the basement.

    The color of the uniforms are known as vomit green. I love the Seahawks; but, hate these uniforms–really, really, really hate them. I actually was wishing for black and white TV when I first saw them. However, we in the pacific northwest were starved for pro sports when we finally got our football team. Before that, we had a brief major league baseball team (the Seattle Pilots) and we had an NBA team, which was eventually stolen by Oklahoma City. So, we love our Seahawks and our University of Washington Huskies, who do deserve to be in the playoffs.

    @Omnes Omnibus: Yeah, a lightweight genoa/reaching spinnaker. Not as good as a spinnaker dead downwind, great on a reach, easy to handle with two people instead of the minimum three to properly keep a spinnaker up. No pole, no hassle.

I think that’s what my friend’s dad said, and that it was a newish classification in 1966. He was a cabinet maker and built it in his garage, and it was a pretty little thing.

    That awful green is the contrast color on the Seahawks shirts. It’s too much as the main color. I was so horrified I had trouble at first watching the game and understanding what was happening, too busy gawking at those atrocities.
