Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Let’s finish the job.

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

In my day, never was longer.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

People are complicated. Love is not.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

In after Baud. Damn.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I believe this portends the end of the patriarchy but, nevermind me, I'm an optimist.

Sorry neighbors..I felt the need to make a giant dick on the roof ‘tis the season*
** UPDATE** Past 48 hours have been crazy, I just want to say the news is making it seem like all the neighbors are angry . I never got a personal complaint , I have had tons of neighbors reach out to me saying they LOVE IT! The neighbors that were interviewed on the news came over to my house and chuckled with me and they got me a very kind card
Also to the people saying I did this for attention- it was a joke with my own personal family I didn’t think I would make Germany headlines! I live in a pretty wooded neighborhood I rarely see kids honestly. It never crossed my mind.
I’m definitely getting more thumbs up than downs.
I have had multiple radio interviews it’s been fun. Thanks to all the companies reaching out to me and having a good sense a humor. At the end of the day I have brought laughter and that’s what I want to hear
Thanks y’all it’s been a hoot

I don’t know what’s funnier, the actual roof penis or all the bleeps in the video.

There will be no recipe thread this evening. Or probably ever again as I am permanently banned. LOL

(Also: we have started a duck youtube channel. stay tuned for update. I said DUCKS you perverts).

    So many second amendment absolutists, yet a local station feels they can’t broadcast a picture that looks like a penis? Or say the word penis?

    On my aging machine, the text loads before the pictures, so have an idea of what I am going to see, before I see it.

     

    “Penis fish, eh? Probably named from some faint, fanciful resemblance. Wonder what they will look like…”

    “Oh my god. They’re penis fish.”

    @spudgun:

    Norm first hit the news when the animal shelter put out word of a really, really corpulent cat having been brought it. Basically an animal control officer misunderstanding that took off because EVERYBODY knew Norm and would trek to his neighborhood for lunchtime skritches. After than, the sky was the limit. At least as far as Norm could jump.

    On a related note, I’d like to share one of m favorite practical jokes (up there with salting a bed and giving someone an upper-decker) to mention to people in hopes that it takes the world by storm.  What you do is, tell a friend really into hot chili peppers that you have “the latest and greatest, hottest chili in the world, and here are some seeds for yourself”. But instead of a Carolina Reaper (or whatever it is today), you give them a batch of Peter Peppers.  They’ll spend weeks-to-months telling everyone they know that they have the hottest chilis in the world.  But gradually, something won’t seem right until one day they realize they have a plant in their yard growing a bunch of big, red dicks.

    Mrs Gash Christmas erection;

    So this is what it will look like when the wymen folk takes over, penis everywhere? Yes well all fun and games until someone’s eye gets put out.

    Her account of the media’s faux rage over it sure says a lot about the press.  More like the Russian trolls are taking credit for something the corporate press has already done.
