Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

In after Baud. Damn.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

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

And she’s on tour, too.   Still too soon for me to be tempted by a very  indoor venue, assuming there were tickets to be had.   But these days, I’m just happy to see Happy Birthday! instead of R.I.P. on the Twitter timelines…

 

Thank you all so much for the kind birthday wishes! 🎂❤️

    Saw her when she opened for Hell Freezes Over tour. My friend tried to be late so he could just catch the Eagles; I told him for $75, I wanted both good acts.

    Glad to hear she’s still going strong. She was a wonderful role model when my daughter came out at age 15.

    I dragged my not-yet-Spousal Unit to our first Etheridge concert when we still lived in Michigan, and she was an ‘up & coming folk rocker’ doing relatively small venues. Then there the big outdoor-arena show in Foxborough (MA) when Our Little Secret was released… she wasn’t *quite* out of the closet at that point, but the audience was at least two-thirds women, and Spousal Unit got death stares from a few of them…

    Saw her again in Lowell, on her recovery tour (I Run for Life) , and most recently at Tanglewood, the summer before the pandemic, with the Boston Pops doing backup.

    (Pretty sure there were a couple other shows, but memory fails. And then there was the 2018 concert in NH where we had tickets, but Spousal Unit’s favorite brother decided to get married in Michigan that weekend, sigh… )
