Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Second rate reporter says what?

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

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

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Be a wild strawberry.

The lights are all blinking red.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

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

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

    Can’t access this kind of link from the BlackBerry, but I guess I’m first. Have a good Monday, all. Going to be another miserably hot day (mid-90s) in Atlanta.

    Here’s about an hour of Dave Rawlings Machine live at Bonnarroo from NPR.

    Gillian Welch is singing backup, and they do a decent version of “This Land is My Land” about 8 minutes in.

    Web browser stuff: I’d highly recommend people take a look at the new version of Safari that came out last week. The one Really Cool feature is called Reader. Go to the first page of a multi-page article (say, an NYT Sunday Magazine story), click the Reader icon, and the browser grabs all of the pages of the story, strips out the ads and other cruft, and puts up one long scrolling window with just the story (text plus inline images). Very very nice.
