Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Come on, man.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

I was promised a recession.

    Magnificent! Such fun videos. Thanks!
    Since the dojo I take judo classes at is closed for the duration, I’ve been following a home judo workout video made by an Olympic silver medalist from the U.S. I do that a few times a week, and I’ve taken up jumping rope to get in more cardio. I do that on the days when I don’t do the judo workout. Thank goodness we have high ceilings.
    But I’m not all fitness, all the time. I’m still cooking and baking as I’ve always done. Last night it was a thin crust pizza topped with mushrooms, pepperoni and hot giardiniera. Today I made a loaf of apple fritter bread, which is really more like coffee cake than bread. It’s delicious regardless.

    @Brachiator:

    In our New World Order, Olympians will not be working to win gold, silver, and bronze.  Those on the podium will be sporting Purell, Charmin, and Bounty.

    A few people had asked about getting masks. Ms Martin has taken a turn of direction and is now volunteering to help make masks for a friend of ours who was recently laid off.

    You can find her on Instagram at @handmadebyhazelanne or email at [email protected]

    This was her side craft gig that is for now her primary gig.

    Two of our cats love batting around orange practice golf balls. Hours of entertainment.

    Oh, the toilet paper challenge!  I made the mistake of entering that as a search term on YouTube and discovered I could easily waste the rest of an evening watching dogs  jumping over rolls of Charmin.

    Hands down, Gigi the cat ? is the best stay-at-home Goalkeeper in #Italy at moment.

    Interesting technique. Most goalies stay in the centre of the goal until the ball is kicked but this one chose to stay close to one of the goalposts for several of the penalties. Excellent reaction times and athleticism though.

    OMG haven’t even gotten past Gigi, laughing too hard. Now who’s that Scotsman sports announcer who was on a post downstairs, narrating the dogs’ competitive eating?

    I figure our critters are loving their families being at home more.  I’m really enjoying seeing the creativeness people are pulling out and putting down out there.  It’s all a good use of one’s time, eh?
