Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Republicans don’t trust women.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Calendar Update

by John Cole|  February 1, 20186:10 pm| 53 Comments

Hello all, quick calendar update.

I have deposited everyone’s paypal and checks and my flight to Aruba leaves tomorrow, so SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH. I sent a cashier’s check to the printer, everyone’s name is now in an excel file ready to be printed onto the labels I picked up today, and I spoke to the printer and they will be shipped tomorrow, so it looks like Monday-Tuesday I will be sending everything out.

So far we have sold 151 out of the 200 calendars that have been printed, and I would like to sell forty more, leaving a buffer of nine calendars in case something gets lost/destroyed in the mail. So, if you would like to purchase a calendar, send $25 bucks to the paypal link to the right, or email balloonjuiceca[email protected] and I will send you the address to mail checks.

I have two people who have paid me but have not provided me with a mailing address. ONE OF THEM IS TOM LEVENSON. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF HIM.

The other person’s first initial is M. and the last name starts with Pass. If that is you, email your address to me.

This is a pain in the arse and I want to have this done by Thanksgiving next year so they ship for Christmas.

    Can’t you just use the address that you send his royalty checks to?

    Since the calendar has already been paid for, oh yeah, I’m sure that’s me. I am willing to supply my address so you can send the calendar to me. :-)

    TOM LEVENSON. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF HIM.

    Nope. Just…unfamiliar.

    Can’t quite place him.

    Address is in your email. Also too: you try remembering your own damn middle name in the blast radius fo the realization that the syllabi for count-em two new courses are not due in the eternal sunshine of a never-to-be-encountered future, but Monday. Morning.

    Feh.

    Also, tutu: thanks for the herculean herding kittens effort here. Genuine above and beyond territory.

    @efgoldman: I take that as you volunteering to take on the calendar project for the coming year. That’s so nice of you! Not to mention that you must be feeling better if you are offering to step up on such a big thing. :-)

    @Tom Levenson: My sympathies. Thank goodness my less herculean task on Monday is to don a parka and climb to the attic to retrieve the suggestion clipboards for the school bookfair in April. Yes, that school. Yes, that attic.

    Who’re you kidding: charging front pagers for the calendar. We all know it’s gratis; in the paragraph right after no brown m&m’s.

    David Bowie as Andy Warhol in “Basquiat”. Not that the rest of the movie is bad, it’s just that he walks away with it whenever he’s on-screen.

    She addressed the letter to:
    My Name
    California Street / cocker spaniel out front
    Urbana, IL 61801

    Our mailman delivered it right to my door. I’m sure Cole could do something similar with Tom. :-)

    I hate the calendar. This calendar sucks. You got it printed at the wrong place, and it’s the wrong weight paper. Also, too, the formatting sucks. I think you should listen to my suggestions next year.

    @WaterGirl: Not in Greater Boston, he couldn’t.

    Hell, we had an invoice misaddressed to our school that finally the accountant e-mailed me a PDF. One letter off, and no similarly named street in the city, but it never showed up.

    I suspect the population density and dreadful working conditions have made our postal workers surly.

    @FlyingToaster: I was just kidding when I said I was sure that would work with Tom, but I thought the story was fun so I shared it.

    As far as surly goes, I would say that living through the last 15 months has made most of us surly. Me included.

    Sorry, John. My wife gave me the check to mail you and I forgot about it!
    I’ve been doing remodeling work over at my son’s house every day after my day job … and I’m dead on my feet when I get home in the evenings.
    Mea culpa
    Will mail it this weekend.

    @WaterGirl: I once saw an envelope that was addressed to:
    Dr. Smith
    Big white building in the middle of nowhere
    (ZIP code)
    and it was successfully delivered to the Admisitration building at the Fermi National Laboratory, which is indeed a big white building in the middle of Nowhere, Illinois (okay, Batavia, same difference).

    Where would you like your internets delivered, milady?

    [For those unfamiliar, the next suburb NW of Cambridge, and N of Watertown, is Belmont, home to RMoney and seriously devoid of anything resembling excitement.]

    You might want to consider putting Sticky or something in the title. I came to the site a couple times last night, saw this was still up, and just assumed nothing new had been posted. It was only after I saw it was still there this morning that I realized it had been stickied.

    Then again, maybe I was just being especially dumb.

    @Another Scott: They have since changed the address of the building–it used to be 666 N. LSDrive, and is now 680 N. (and has a bunch of Northwestern docs in it). I also used to live near the old Playboy mansion on State St., but could never remember exactly which building it was.

    @FlyingToaster: All I really want is props for my obscure Aurthur C. Clark reference.

    I rented an apartment in Belmont for a year. I don’t think I laid eyes on my neighbors even once. It was a tree-lined street that never seemed to have any birds. I got the impression the entire populace had their souls cryogenically frozen until their kids were done going to “good schools”. I removed myself to the mean, gritty streets of Watertown as quickly as my lease expired.

    “Carter Page, who has been on the FBI’s radar since actual Russian intelligence officers trying to recruit him determined he was an idiot in 2013” but it’s a scandal because the FISA warrant in 2013 was motivated by the Steele dossier in 2017.
