Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

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

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

People are complicated. Love is not.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

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

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Anyone Interested in Another NYC Meet-Up?

A proposal from commentor RedDirtGirl:

There seems to be some interest in a NYC meet-up, to welcome M4 to the area, and celebrate HeleninEire’s return.

I’m thinking about possibly the last Sunday in February, the 24th, at around 3pm in Manhattan somewhere south of 34th Street.

Can we put up a post at some point in the near future to gauge the broader appeal of such an endeavor?

    Bill and I would be interested, blanking on where to suggest (Waterfront at 30th & 2nd or Failte across the avenue are all I’m coming up with) but would love to be part of the welcoming crew.

    Well, February 24 is an important holiday.

    :)

    Hooray! Doesn’t have to be that day, but I find it’s often best to start with something to work with and then go from there!

    I would be up for the following weekend. Which would be Saturday, March 2 or Sunday, March 3rd.

    But go with the date that works for the most people.

    I would prefer the following weekend as well (although my general preference would to also be either a Thursday/Friday evening or Saturday afternoon, as opposed to a Sunday). Not fussed regardless of whatever folks are thinking, and agnostic locationally as well (although would prefer not too downtown or uptown, and in Manhattan).

    I’d be interested, even to venture into Manhattan on a weekend, especially to meet M4 and HelenInErie. February 24 is almost a holiday (the day before my birthday ?) but I’m open to another date.

    The following weekend is fine for me as well, but it would have to be Sunday rather than Saturday. Keep throwing dates out. It doesn’t have to be the weekend.

    On a related note, do we have any rust belt Juicers in the vicinity of Ravenna, Ohio? I will be there sometime in the next month or so.

    Am definitely up for a green-ballooned gathering ! Would prefer last weekend in February to first weekend in March, but am flexible.

    Not sure if anyone is still checking out this thread, but have definitely gotten some interest and will strategize a bit more and ask AL to post again during prime time so we can lock this in. See you all then!

    No idea if the purported guests of honor can make it, but we’ll survive without them, if need be.
