Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

This blog will pay for itself.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

REPOST: Who’s Up for A Denver Meet-Up, This Wednesday Evening?

From to-be-visiting-fireman PsiFighter37‘s original post:

I should be free to meet anytime after 6PM, and based on Google Maps, I am told I am at the intersection of the Central Business District and North Capitol Hill section of Denver.

My only request – a spot with a good beer selection! A couple spots that look like that could work are the Thirsty Lion or Freshcraft – but I am happy to defer to the preferences of the locals.

Hopefully there’s enough interest – but I understand if folks are a bit more cautious nowadays.

From the comments last week, looks like Hedgehog the occasional commenter, BSR, Bokonon, and Scamp Dog are seriously interested.

Ksmiami, Nate Combs, quakerinabasement, and The pollyanna from hell are possibles.

I’m gonna ask PsiFigher37 if I can share his email with y’all, so you can coordinate with each other.

Leave a comment here if you’re game, or email me at the ‘Contact Us’ link and I’ll forward your message.

    I would if I could, but since I can’t, and if you can: DOO EET!!!

    Thank me later.

    Longing for the day when I will feel safe to do things like this. Have fun, jackals, and send pictures! Then I can at least pretend to attend, and I love see what folks on here look like; it’s never the way I imagine them.

    Also happy to throw out places like Wynkoop or Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (which looks really good and allegedly has outdoor seating too).

    My email is VRML99 at yahoo dot com, if anyone wants to email me directly.

    @PsiFighter37: my kid lives by whiskey tango- it’s good but how about Pig and the Snout? They have a larger patio

    @Ksmiami: I’m indifferent as long as there is space people are comfortable with! Having good cocktails/beers a plus but not absolutely necessary.

    @PsiFighter37: Any outdoor place is good with me! I’ll be there assuming my plane to Denver arrives reasonably close to on-time. I’ll be getting back from visiting Mom in northern Michigan (still in the lower peninsula, though).

    I can make that.  May I suggest Woods Boss brewing?  Excellent beer, lots of space, located conveniently near downtown, but with at least some street parking available.  (eh, outdoors is preferable)

    They don’t have outdoor space though, but I can suggest plenty others — my brother is this guy.  Pick any on the map and I’ll let you know.  I’ve visited most breweries in Denver and the Springs, though both WTF and Pig&Snout are new to me.  Good excuse to go check them out I guess :)

    Edit: Given that some of us — all vaxxed I would presume — may still be inclined to socially distance, I suppose I should look for one with good outdoor space.  You can also search the CBL site at that link, and add outdoor spaces to the search criteria (I developed some of the code for that site, tho I’ve been slacking for years on updating it)

    I can’t make it – was in Denver a week ago, but am now back in Chicago (my home). Have fun!

    Sounds good so far. We are clever and cautious; TFG cannot stop us.

    I’ll be there if the venue is decided.  6pm – WTF or somewhere else?

    I’m up for it. There’s places like Bierstadt nearby but I’m up for any place with a reasonable patio
