Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

People are weird.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

The lights are all blinking red.

People are complicated. Love is not.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

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

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

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

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

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

This blog will pay for itself.

NYC Meetup This Sunday, Monday or Tuesday?

Paging all NYC Balloon Juice peeps!

Mr. Bemused Senior will be in NYC this coming week and would love a meetup, if it’s not too last-minute for everyone.

He going to be visiting family in NYC and also attending the TPM “happy hour” on Tuesday evening, 7/9.   Anyone else attending, or want to attend?

But wait, there are more options!   Sunday 7/7 or Monday 7/8 are also good for him.  Afternoon or evening!   He will be staying in the Chelsea area, around 28th Street & 7th Ave, and he said that anywhere in Manhattan would be easily accessible for him.

Paging LAO and others – Mr. Bemused Senior said he would like to meet you!

    If you complain about how last-minute this is, you can blame me.  Mr. Bemused Senior first wrote me about this nearly a week ago, and I dropped the ball.

    Can be there most anytime, Monday evening is fine.  Suggestions for exact time and place welcome.

    Apologies, I ain’t got the spoons, right now, to do planning for this.  But looking forward to seeing all yo’ jackals.

    Hope everyone’s having a Glorious Fourth !

    signifying nothing in particular, the British bookie Bet365 has set the over/under on the number of seats that the Tories keep at 78, just ahead of the LibDems at 70.

     

    Go Lib Dems!

    There is Peter McManus Cafe, NYC’s oldest family run bar, at 7th Ave and 19th Street. People can grab food if they want, or just a drink.

    @RedDirtGirl: seems good to me. See you on Monday.

    OK, C U Monday, 5:30.  I’ll be guy with big light gray beard and mop of brown hair, which badly need trimming.  May ask one of you to walk with me, back to PATH station, afterwards.

    Monday forecast – clear, sunny, high around 90

    Will have to get one of their burgers, compare with Krug Tavern’s
