Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

People are complicated. Love is not.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

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

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

    We know the Galactic Empire doesn’t have OSHA (all those un-railinged walkways…), so I’m guessing no HIPAA or ADA either.

    Bar owners have filed their second lawsuit of the week because the liquor authority has stopped sales after 10pm. Nothing like a bunch of guys (all men, as far as I can tell) endlessly whining, “It’s not fair!”

    Oh, my God. I may have to steal this. As it is, I’m laughing. I’ll take it!

    I’m also laughing at this Weasley-style clock. Which is also so geeky-cool.

    debbie @10: I’d feel sorry for DeWine but it’s against my principles to be sympathetic to a Republican. Minor props to him for finally requiring masks.

    OK I ran across this little ditty an hour ago, sung to the tune of “The lion sleeps tonight”.  I needed a giggle. Now I’m off to pit cherries, a lot of cherries, for the freezer. Or sleep, not sure which.

    Made a blueberry crumble, and also they had a great deal of basil at the farm stand and I couldn’t help myself but pesto.

    @Kattails: I think this is a better version of that song.

    It’s also posted by the people who sang the song and created the original video, and it credits the people who made it.

    by Roy Zimmerman and The ReZisters, featuring Sandy Riccardi. Made in collaboration with the Raging Grannies of Mendocino.

    Personally, I want to know how to join the Raging Grannies of Mendocino.

    @Ohio Mom: I too am glad DeWine ordered masks throughout the state. I can’t help but notice that he did it 24 hours after Householder got arrested for taking bribes. DeWine didn’t have it in him to stand up to the Republican legislature, until the Speaker of the House was so wounded that he couldn’t push back. I wonder how long it will take DeWine to fold once the new Speaker is installed and the yahoos in the Legislature can go back to being idiots.

    I don’t think all the Republican legislators are completely nuts, but I also think that DeWine is unwilling to work with the Democrats in order to shut down interference from the really loco Right in Ohio.

    Mr. Suzanne is getting polled right now. They called at 11 pm. He is admirably resisting fucking with the pollster.

    These poll questions are absolute bullshit. “If Joe Biden was elected, who do you think would really be in charge of the government, Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi?”

    Freedom to not wear a mask

    Editor’s Note: The following is copied from a social media post made by Libby Jones in June and was submitted to the Ledger Dispatch by Kathony Jerauld of Amador City.

    Welcome to the Freedom Cafe!

    We trust you to make your own choices if you want to wear a face mask. And, in the same spirit of individual liberty, we allow our staff to make their own choices about the safety procedures they prefer to follow as they prepare and serve your food.

    We encourage employees to wash their hands after using the bathroom, but understand that some people may be allergic to certain soaps or may simply prefer not to wash their hands. It is not our place to tell them what to do.

    We understand that you may be used to chicken that has been cooked to 165 degrees. We do have to respect that some of our cooks may have seen a meme or a YouTube video saying that 100 degrees is fine and we do not want to encroach on their beliefs.

    Some servers may wish to touch your food as they serve it. There is no reason that a healthy person with clean hands can’t touch your food. We will take their word for it that they are healthy and clean.

    Water temperature and detergent are highly personal choices, and we allow our dishwashing team to decide how they’d prefer to wash the silverware you will put in your mouth.

    Some of you may get sick, but almost everyone survives food poisoning. We think you’ll agree that it’s a small price to pay for the sweet freedom of no one ever being told what to do – and especially not for the silly reason of keeping strangers healthy.

    Not intended to be funny. I genuinely found it worrisome enough to notate.
