Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

In my day, never was longer.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Fight them, without becoming them!

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

    Damn that JefferyW! I just had the best Coho salmon and now he’s got me craving beef. We just came back from out West where we saw the eclipse in Nebraska, and the beef there made near-vegan Mrs. Spanky eat beef damn near every day.

    Still plugging away with the FODMAPs elimination thing. The philosophy of the dietician I’m working (remotely) with seems to be to provide way more recipes than anyone could use in a week so there’s something for everyone. My main issue is that most of the dinner recipes make a minimum of 4 servings, so the leftovers pile up quickly even when G and I both eat them for lunch. Tonight I can choose between leftover mustard-tarragon chicken legs or leftover beef stew. I’ll probably cook something new tomorrow night since we’ll be closer to caught up.

    And in case anyone missed it, there was a Duck update today.

    I have to run off and get ready for an early day tomorrow. I have to work, but not complaining because I’m taking an actual vacation mid-September (Boston here I come).

    I just spent two days in a swampy apartment waiting for a plumber to snake out the grease in my apartment stack. It’s my neighbor’s grease, but it backed up into my side and I couldn’t use the sink for anything and water was dripping all over my basement. I had to remind my neighbor several times to stop using his disposal because it was backing into mine. Fucking old buildings.

    I may go raw vegan after this. Though that beef looks very yummy.

    @JPL: There is a guy I knew from FDL who died 6 or so years ago. He was alone so his FB is still up. I always say happy birthday to him and one other person does too. The Southern Dragon from Tampa.

    Should we (spelled “Anne Laurie”) organize a meetup?

    Oh, yes. Sorry, no recipes, just a report of plenty of roadside veggie stands – plenty of squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil available!
