Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Bark louder, little dog.

This fight is for everything.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Request From WaterGirl For Testing The New Site

by Cheryl Rofer|  June 20, 20195:16 pm| 18 Comments

This post is in: Site Maintenance

FacebookTweetEmail

From an email (thanks to valued commenter and tester M. Bouffant):

Hey everyone, WaterGirl here.

You are receiving this message if you volunteered to test the new website and supplied information about your devices, but never followed up by sending email to [address deleted]

I am starting to get our ducks in a row for whenever testing will start.

Please write back to [address deleted] — one way or another — to say that you’re in for testing or that you don’t want to be contacted about testing again.

Hope to hear from all of you one way or another, very soon!

Thanks, WaterGirl

    So if we already e-mailed you in May and received a response confirming receipt of said e-mail we do or do not need to contact you again? What’s above is vague enough that it can be read either way.

    @Baud:
    I can see why your campaign keeps getting bogged down in the negative range. Not nice to play such hardcore tactics with the one that brought ya.

    @NotMax: I heard through satby that this post was up. Thanks to M. Bouffant and Cheryl!

    If you have already sent me email about testing, you are all good. I’m just trying to reach the people who said they want to test but haven’t yet replied to my email.

    M. Bouffant was apparently too polite to list the names I had sent, but here are the names of the peeps I am hoping to hear from:

    Mike J
    random monster
    coin operated
    (((CassandraLeo)))
    RabbiosaFame
    Larch
    Mo
    SC

    It’s not too late, though, if you wanted to participate but hadn’t mentioned it yet!

    @WaterGirl: Ooh, sorry, yes I am polite, sometimes too much so, apparently.

    And to receive the “valued common tater” designation has the ego even more swollen. Thank you!

    The other phrase is what was a similar commonplace from a different strip. Obscure reference now but not completely forgotten.

    Learned something today; I remembered both phrases being from Smokey Stover.

    Your second link isn’t, & I’m curious.

    Here’s the page with some info about Squirrel Cage from which the images came.

    The second linked image above is the much, much more contemporary Zippy the Pinhead.
