Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

No one could have predicted…

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

Anybody Up for Another Seattle Meet-Up?

This post is in: ,

Request from party-sparker Yutsano:

Time for me to venture to the Emerald City once more!

Slight tighter deadline for set-up as I’ll be in town from the 20th to the 23rd of January. My medical stuff is the 23rd but otherwise I have zero planned at this point.

And yes this time I will check where we’re meeting so I know for sure! I will be staying downtown however so I will have some flexibility.

Leave a comment below, or email me directly at [email protected]com, and I’ll forward your message to Yutsano.

    Just so folks are aware, there is going to be a Women’s March on the 20th that will close off some streets downtown. I believe the route will be from Cal Anderson Park west on Pike and north on 4th Ave to Seattle Center. So traffic is likely to be pretty congested around town on Saturday.

    I was wearing an old pair of specs, and initially read that as “party-spanker Yutsano.” Fortunately, I looked more closely after that, because for a second there, I thought he finally let Government employment get to him.

    I should be up to going to a meetup by early spring. Anybody coming to New England?
    SD do you have a trip planned this year?
    Steve the Union Buster? labor lawyer?

    Yo, I have a crazy work schedule, so no guarantees, but I’m intrigued for a meet up. One thing about Seattle, there are a lot of places of good food and adequate imbibery with more popping up like rain forest mushrooms every day.

    @efgoldman:

    Don’t have a trip planned, but haven’t ruled anything out, either. The news that you’re feeling well enough to contemplate a meet-up is certainly a fine inducement!

    I’d be interested in the Seattle meetup. May my elderly ears request someplace less noisy than the previous 2 locations? Jackal conversations are too much fun to miss!

    @efgoldman:
    That might be interesting! I could make Boston and head down to DC to see the Wall and the Smithsonian. Maybe I could celebrate the shtgibbon’s complete and utter losing. Now that would be a trip, a threefer.

    We’d have to make sure the place has an early bird and mushy stuff for old farts.

    @Mnemosyne: We had one back in October (early November?) and everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. Tamara has my contact information, and I’ll help plan something out.

    What happens at a Balloon-Juice meetup stays at a Balloon-Juice meetup.

    Except for the compromising photographs.

    And all the people writing about it in the comment sections …

    I could join in on Mon. 22nd, after 7:30 PM, or Sun. 21st after 6:30 PM. (Also Mon. for breakfast/lunch.)

    I’d like to go. Sunday is probably best for me but I can try to make it if it’s on another day. I just need as much time as possible to make arrangements.
