Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Come on, man.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

The willow is too close to the house.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Open Thread (and Ukraine Quilt Raffle Update)

Just a few quick things about the Quilt Raffle.

1. Raffle tickets are no longer on sale.

2. If you already “purchased” a raffle ticket but haven’t forwarded your ActBlue receipt to me please do so ASAP.

3. I have all the raffle Act Blue receipt email messages tucked away in a special Quilt Raffle email folder. At some point today I will add everyone who bought a ticket to a spreadsheet, which I will put up in a post so you can all check my work.

4. I will ask everyone who “purchased” a ticket to confirm that you are indeed on the list.  You will all have 24 hours to let me know if you are missing from the list.

5. Once I’m sure everyone is on the list, we will have the raffle drawing and the winner will be announced.

    WaterGirl – I’m having hip replacement surgery today and I’ll be unable to validate my two tickets in your spreadsheet. Please confirm I’m in for two.

    @HinTN:   Good luck!  Everyone I know who has had a hip replaced only regrets that they didn’t do it sooner.

    I open the FTFNYT to see what they think is critical for the gentry to know.  Right up top is “Justice Dept. Is Asking Witnesses About Trump in Its Jan. 6 Inquiry.”  Click on it and I find it’s by the crack team of Haberman and Thrush and I just say “screw that.”  Off to the Washington Post for a presumably less sketchy report.

    @eclare: Thanks! That was certainly true of my knees seven years ago.

    @HinTN: At what point do we start addressing you as Steve Austin?

    @Gin & Tonic: Austin Powers is more appropriate.

    Does anyone else find themselves unconsciously watching for news of another Jan 6 hearing?  My head knows that we’re done until August – but the heart wants what the heart wants?

    @HinTN: Okay, your two tickets are officially pre-validated!   Hope your surgery and recovery go even better than expected.
