Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We still have time to mess this up!

Nothing worth doing is easy.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

This fight is for everything.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

A consequence of cucumbers

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Let’s finish the job.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

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

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

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

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

Second rate reporter says what?

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

    Dipshit, there’s always a big ol’ glob of cream cheese in the center. That’s not nothing!

    The thing about bagels makes no sense.  They have nothing at the center, but they’re still wonderful. If anything they teach us the exact opposite of what he’s suggesting.

    I had always assumed that Santa was married to Mrs. Claus, but apparently that is not the case?

    Loved this tweet response to the ‘horrified’ attention hound.

    Is there someone in the bookstore holding your wallet hostage until you buy the book?
    No?
    Then just walk on past, toots.

     
    Fortunately, that performative outrage tweet has probably been excellent marketing for a book that might have been overlooked, too.

    Open thread question, which involves the question mark. Why do so many tweets have some many question marks as part of their tweet or identity? I honestly don’t know.

    @Alison Rose:

    Not this year. Apparently there is a cream cheese shortage. From USA Today and other reports:

    Schreiber Foods, a large producer of dairy products including cream cheese, had to close down for a number of days in October after operations were halted at its plants and distribution centers due to a “cyber event.”

    But even a few days down was enough to cause “shockwaves” in the supply chains, said Mark Stephenson, the director of Dairy Policy Analysis at the University of Wisconsin.

    “Dairy plants, for fresh products like that, don’t stockpile a lot of inventory. So we can’t draw on that to smooth out a hiccup of a plant going down for several days time,” Stephenson said.

    Cyber attacks and supply chain problems have add up to a… fromage shortage.

    @NotMax: I saw that movie! Mostel and Wilder were great!

    A friend of mine back in high school talked me into watching The Producers with him on TV one weekend night in 1971 when a local channel was using it to fill up the schedule. I’m forever indebted to him for that.

    That bagel tweet is the perfect blend of self-righteous and hateful. And stupid. And small-minded. And small-hearted. Quite a blend.
