Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

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

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

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.

    Used to live 2 1/2 hours away. Not heading into the USA as long as the orange menace is there. Moved to the Okanagan anyway.
    When we used to go to the Waterfront some weekends, I found sometimes you could get street parking right off the main road under the viaduct. Be careful which lot you choose, I saw a lot that was really cheap, but had broken window glass everywhere.

    Public transit in Seattle still free within the downtown area? Would be good info to know/confirm.

    @Anonymous At Work: Alas, no: the Magic Carpet was phased out some years ago.
