Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

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

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

In after Baud. Damn.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

This really is a full service blog.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

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

The willow is too close to the house.

Two quick things:

1.) Had a productive conference call with the BJ team regarding the two finalists for the web development, went over their bids, and had a good chat. All that is left is for me to talk with the two developers and make my choice.

2.) Did you all get your calendars? BTW- we raised over a thousand dollars again for MARC.

Also, Lurker Dan- I need you to email me.

    “All that is left is for me to talk with the two developers and make my choice.”

    That guarantees that half the commenters will say you made the wrong choice.

    @Gin & Tonic: is this about the willow tree? I thought we moved on from that.

    Got my calendars, and they are awesome.

    If the cost goes over bid, remember the First Bank of the Jackals stands ready to assist.

    @BruceFromOhio: Seconded. Cole shouldn’t be out of pocket a single penny for this. I can’t calculate the value of what this blog means to me, and I’m happy to contribute and cover some for the jackals who can’t.

    Yeah, I have a new laptop with 12 CPUs (at least that’s how many CPUs the system monitor reports on!) and it overheats trying to run the ads on B-J!!!

    I got the calendars, used them for xmas gifts to other folks who love puppies and catties. Much appreciated!

    Let us know if you need more for the new system developer — as a former software development project manager, I know we will, the first 90% of the project takes 90% of the resources, and the final 10% needs the other 90% of resources. Yes, that does make sense — it’s software after all~!!!
