Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

It’s been a hell of a day. In keeping with the rhyming couplet of cattery theme this evening, Odoroki & Hime would like to point out that, really, the downticket races are the biggest thing, so please focus on those. Have a good night. I’m gonna go knock myself out since I have to be at work before 8 am. Open thread for you night jackals.

    @NotMax: It only showed up properly after I went into WordPress and hit Publish. It was in some kind of limbo-land.

    The youtube video didn’t work as it should have, either, all better now.  Third time’s the charm.

    “Last Chance on the Stairway” is one of my favorite rarely heard Duran Duran songs. :D

    Cats know way more about us than they let on.

    At this distance, Simon The Good Le Bon doesn’t look or sound like he’s aged a day since the 1980s. I resent that: I’m about his age, and I have aged many many days since then.

    I just saw this YouTube video of a 10-year-old girl acing Jeff Porcaro’s legendarily difficult drum part from Rosanna. (I understand it is often set as an exam piece by music colleges.)
