Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Bark louder, little dog.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Giving up is unforgivable.

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

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

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

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Books are my comfort food!

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

From ace party-planner & commentor Casey L:

We’ve finalized plans for the Seattle Meetup in honor of ruemara coming to town:

Friday December 8 at 7:00 PM

Pike Place Brewery Pub
1415 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98101

I have made reservations under my name and “Balloon Juice” for 10 people, and will be happy to add more if needed. Also, people should know that parking in downtown Seattle is a royal PITA, so please take public transit if possible.

    @Mike J: I think I’ll be able to run home from work, then hit the Transit Center to take a bus downtown. Hopefully be there pretty much on time.

    Hi CaseyL & MikeJ! I plan on heading in ~ 6:15, so should be there 7-ish. Thanks to CaseyL for organizing. Looking forward to meeting up.

    For others attending: not much free parking anywhere downtown these days. If driving, the parking under SAM is convenient and reasonable.

    Sad note: still can’t make it.

    Parking note: the parking garage for the SAM is right across the street from Pike so it’s an option for the have to drivers.

    Hope you all have a great time!
    What a trip it would be if, one day, I could visit the US and travel around having BJ meet-ups ?
