Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

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

Infrastructure week. at last.

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Second rate reporter says what?

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Let there be snark.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Sweet Dreams (Aren’t Made of This)

First, the soundtrack:

I had a weird dream this morning. It wasn’t as weird as that dream I told y’all about some years back, which was apparently the result of taking a prescription drug to help me quit smoking.

That time, I dreamt I was a passenger in a car that was being driven by several hens (three or four perched on the wheel to shift their weight and steer, two stationed on the floor to work the gas and brake pedals, and one in charge of the gear shift).

But today’s dream, while not quite that weird, also involved riding in a car. There was no poultry present, but I was the driver, and scandal-besieged Prime Minister Boris Johnson was my passenger.

The circumstances were murky as is often the case in dreams. I was in our beat-up Mazda MX5 two-seat convertible, and for some reason, I had agreed to drive Johnson to an event some distance away, even though I can’t stand the sight of the corrupt buffoon.

He was all dressed up in tail coat and carried a fancy hat, while I was in my usual grungy attire. He tried to make small talk during the trip, but the roar of the wind drowned out everything he said, a small mercy.

We finally arrived at an ornate stone church, and Johnson departed wordlessly to join the event in progress. Riding in a car with the top down had turned our respective hairdos into fright wigs, so Johnson didn’t even have to tousle his mop to maintain his bizarre messy hair affectation.

I rooted through my purse for a comb and angrily detangled my hair in the driveway before setting off for home, fuming because Johnson hadn’t offered to reimburse me for fuel nor even thanked me for my trouble.

I have no idea what this means, but I sort of blame Tony Jay.

Open thread!

ETA: WaPo phone alert says former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone will testify on Friday in response to a January 6th committee subpoena. Time to clear the calendar for another edition of must-see TV. (Never mind about TV — it’s a closed-door hearing that will be videotaped, but they don’t say if/when we’ll get to see it.)

    Ah yes, the chantrix. God, the dreams were spectacular! Better than acid. I wanted to get a refill on the scrip just so I could keep having those dreams.

    Here of late, I’ve been having some weird dreams too. I think it’s a symptom of sleep deprivation.

    Okay, as I mentioned at the time, a few nights ago I dreamed that Bill Barr redid my bathroom. It was now a strange stainless-steel construction that seemed to have a shower but had no obvious toilet. I kept asking him, “Where are we supposed to defecate?” He had no good answer.

    @OzarkHillbilly: I quit cold turkey (34 years ago), and then did some smoking cessation groups with the person who ran my group (a nurse dedicated to smoking cessation; she became a friend). As other tools became available, esp. chantix, I wondered if I would have used any of them, and I suspect not. I mean, I HATED the process of quitting (2-3 packs/day to nothing is serious withdrawal), but oddly enough, that was its own reinforcement: It sucked so much I knew I wouldn’t want to go through it again. It does seem to help other people, though, so I’m glad it’s available!

    @Gin & Tonic: It’s always a possibility, but I think he wouldn’t mind being live on TV if he was going to do that. The closed interview at least hints at the possibility that he’s going to say something that would prompt Trump to summon a mob to murder him if he were able to read.

    @narya: If not for chantix, I’d probably be dead now. I had tried quitting for 20+ years and hadn’t managed it. My last year + I smoked 4 cigarettes a day, and could.not.let.go.of.them. I had a 3 month scrip of chantix and after 2 months was still smoking those same damned 4 cigs a day. That 3rd month, I knew it was do or die and I managed to finally do it.

    I am addicted to them, always will be. If tomorrow I am diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer, the first thing I’m gonna do is light up.

    There are apparently a coven of remaining Ministers waiting for Flobby to return so they can tell him to resign. They include Nadhim Zahawi, who he was just last night bullied into making Chancellor.

    Loyalty!

    OTOH, when asked in a committee about calling a surprise General Election to take his future out of MPs hands and into those of the General Public, Flobalob responded – “people do not want an election… but…  an election might be justified if people were trying to block a government with a “substantial mandate from the electorate”.

    My guess is that he’ll testify and agree to the bad stuff, say “I don’t know” a lot, and flatly deny where he has plausible deniability to do so. He’ll probably do quite a bit of “I told Trump that something was possibly illegal and he didn’t do it.” Again, not something the committee wants directly on TV if he’s not a friendly witness, and he’s not.

    @Philbert: ,

    It’s true. If anyone watching this is wondering how he got the reputation for being a wonderful and charismatic speaker, it boils down to the crappy nature of our News Media, how easily impressed they are by someone doing a tacky Stephen Fry impression, and the fact that they really, really, really wanted him to be successful, because HEADLINE MACHINE.,

    The fact that he was always a lying sack of shit whose only priority has always been “What’s in it for me?” is neither here nor there to the people who relentlessly made up shit about Corbyn. He was always chummy with them and made them laugh, what more does a political titan possibly need?

    Looking at all the ministers resigning from his cabinet, I wonder how much time Boris Johnson has left as prime minister. And the newly appointed chancellor (appointed yesterday, I believe) is among the people telling him to step down. I’ve thought he was done before though, so let’s see if he is as slippery as he seems.

    I’ve never been able to take Percocet without getting weird opiate “Dragon Dreams”.  The piece de resistance was the one where my two then-young daughters and I were enjoying wading in White Lake, NC, when a huge albino alligator raised up out of the lake about 100 feet away from us and immediately began chasing toward us.  The dream ended before I found out whether the gator caught us or not.

    I could never become addicted to opiates – for all the painkilling benefits, they tend to make me very nauseous, very similar to bad sea-sickness from a rocking boat heaving on the waves.  When I took them briefly immediately following my two respective knee replacements, I ditched them very quickly because toughing it out was less uncomfortable.

    JOEL:  The dream is always the same.
    Instead of going home,
    I go to the neighbors’.
    I ring, but nobody answers.
    The door is open, so I go inside.
    I’m looking around for the people,
    but nobody seems to be there.
    And then
    I hear the shower running…
    …so I go upstairs
    to see what’s what….

    Sorry, Betty, the BoJo dream sounds like a drag, but the chicken dream sounds all kinds of awesome.

    Chicken is my pilot.
    50% wrong turns. But the chicken doesn’t give a cluck.
