Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

People are weird.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Weather Craziness

About a year ago, we had some major flash flooding, and the park and the soccer fields both flooded. Well, it happened again. This last week has been super crazy- it went from ten degrees to 60 in 48 hours, all the snow melted, and then we had torrential downpours so I woke up to this- the park water was even higher this year and you can see the water from my front porch:

If you are wondering why I sound stoned to the bejeezus, it’s because when the temperatures go from 11 to 60 in 48 hours and it rains, I am gifted overnight with Gary Busey’s sinus cavity. At any rate, a major (well, for around here) road was shut down and you can see why:

At any rate, the temps are now in the freezing range again, and it is all going to freeze and then snow all night long, so who knows what kind of mess tomorrow will be.

    I was scheduled to teach a workshop Saturday, but our weather has cancelled it. We went from warm weather for the past three days to a cold air blast this morning. So far we have an inch of snow and bitterly cold wind, with a potential for another three inches of snow and temps in the twenties tomorrow.

    Heh.

    I’m just a Storm Trooper grunt, seventeen years in the service, so I don’t follow politics all that closely, you know? I fight the Resistance, I hyperspace home six parsecs to my wife and kids on Eadu, and then I do it again the next day. Your classic man in the white Phase III armor.
    And I’d cast my ballot for Supreme Leader Snoke, if we had voting. I’m a law-and-order guy, obviously, so I’m with him on exterminating all Resistance scum. I love his First Order First agenda of building a force field around our planets and making those freeloading aliens in the Mos Eisley Cantina pay for it. Oh, yeah, and draining the swamp on Dagobah—Snoke tells it like it is, and if you can’t handle it, go back to your own galaxy.

    Except things started changing when Snoke passed that big tax bill. The very next day, we’re told our pensions are getting cut—which hardly matters, because Storm Troopers have a seventy-five-per-cent fatal occupational-injury rate. (Some from combat, but mostly guys falling into chasms off narrow ship walkways that for some reason don’t have guardrails.)

    Saturday’s high is 58°; the low (Sunday before dawn) will be 10°.

    Looked up Bethany, God Damned WV on the FEMA flood map. Buffalo Creek winds around town and the 100 year flood plain with it. Assume that you are on the southeast part of town with the park behind you. Parks are often placed in the 100 year flood plain so nobody builds there. If my guestimate of your location is correct, your and the adjoining homes are outside of the 100 and 500 year flood exposure. Good news! Repeated flooding in a 100 year Zone is not uncommon. Exceeding the 500 year level used to be very rare, now (anecdotally based on my experience) not so much.

    Snow is temporarily over and temperature is dropping like a rock. Spouse and daughter units put off weekly shopping for sundries until tomorrow, since we have groceries etc already. I was asked if being out of shaving cream was a crisis and indicated ‘no’, a position I am rethinking. I shave every day and feel…unkempt when I don’t.
    Some guys can have a couple of days stubble and look good, whereas I just look like a wino.

    Where I am on Thursday afternoon on my drive home I saw these magnificent sundogs. The temperature had dropped quickly and ice was everywhere. People were having trouble opening their car doors.
    The ice that formed high in the atmosphere made the sundogs exceptionally good. They were elongated and spectral, showing all the colors of the rainbow. In my mind I could picture their arcs encompassing the sun.
    I wish I had had the presence of mind to take a picture.

    @eclare: it was a rainy 55 yesterday and the 6-8 inches that had been in the ground melted, then it dropped 30° in just a few hours and all the wet roads became ice covered ones. But the up to 8 inches of snow that was supposed to start today now is expected Sunday. We only got an inch, though it’s going to start snowing again.
    Sunday is my last day at the doctor’s office. Hoping the majority of the snow holds off until after work.

    Got up this morning and thought the Russians or the Chinese had hacked my fancy electronic thermometer. It was 55 degrees Fahrenheit here in Nova Scotia and it got up to 63 this afternoon. The Halifax airport is reporting the least amount of snow since they started keeping records in 1953. Buckets of rain due to start any time now but it’s not going to cool down until tomorrow night when we go back in the freezer again.

It was amazing: came in a toothpaste-type tube, and I needed only a little dab about as big as a pencil eraser for a shave. It didn’t lather up, but it was super smooth and gave a great shave. I could see hair conditioner having that same texture/​consistency.

    The White House has struggled with facilitating background briefings on conference calls before.

    In July 2017, during another background call on the administration’s Iran policy, a participant on the call announced that his “inflatable doll is a lesbian.”

    Last May, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney hosted a call that quickly devolved into a scene out of an episode of the HBO series “Veep,” in which crying babies, hacking coughs, and the tune of “Yankee Doodle Dandy” were heard on the line.

    they did learn to turn the lights on. Or so I heard.

    They hired a former shabbos goy to show them how.

    Here in Columbus, it’s practically a blizzard- snowy, windy, cold, and low visibility. My husband, working right now at Cincinnati International (outside, no less), says the same thing.

    And it’s heading your way!

    @Steeplejack:
    The Neutrogena shave cream that I use comes in a tube, more than slick enough, I find it in the supermarket. Leave it on for a few seconds then very smooth shaving. Probably expensive if you use it every day, like all of their products. But it works.

    @Amir Khalid: It also misspells the doctor’s first name. It’s as bogus as anything else Trump related.

    @Steeplejack: One of my friends says this is the only thing he can use. (He gets red/rashes whenever he shaves with anything else, and says the citrus sunshine flavor foams the best for shaving.)
    It and more flavors can also be bought at the co. that makes it, the Oregon Soap Co. It’s also very nice stuff for washing hands and all.

    Thanks to all for the shaving cream recommendations. I’ll do some research and see what works the best.

    @1000 flouncing lurkers (was fidelio):

    Yeah, I know, but it’s from weird third parties, some (apparently) not even in the U.S. I’d like to find something that’s widely available.

    Here in Bloomington, Indiana, 10 days ago we were having sub zero temps. This past weekend we climbed to the thirties. Thursday the sixties. Friday it sleeted, iced, and snowed all day, and Saturday there is 3 -4 inches on the ground and it is 14 degrees.
