Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Books are my comfort food!

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Giving up is unforgivable.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

I thought all you had to do was get a few black people together and yell ACORN, but apparently, there is more to it than that:

As a side note, I find it refreshing to finally see someone on video who sweats like I do.

    DAYUM.

    Did I need to see that.

    Especially his response to Limbaugh’s typically even handed, rational take on Michelle Obama’s trip to Spain.

    Well sung. I’ll definitely look for the prior TWIB episodes. Right after I watch some Dave Chappelle.

    A different way to scare, or at least, overstimulate the white racist population of metro Atlanta conservatives:

    30,000 line up for housing vouchers, some get rowdy
    __
    Thirty thousand people showed up to receive Section 8 housing applications in East Point [Atlanta] Wednesday, suffering through hours in the hot sun, angry flare-ups in the crowd and lots of frustration and confusion for a chance to receive a government-subsidized apartment.
    __
    The massive event sometimes descended into a chaotic mob scene filled with anger and impatience. Some 62 people needed medical attention and 20 of them were transported to a hospital, authorities said. A baby went into a seizure in the heat and was stabilized at a hospital. People were removed on stretchers and when a throng of people who had been waiting hours in a line were told to move to another line, people started pushing, shoving and cursing, witnesses said.
    __
    Still, officials of East Point declared the day a success. Nobody was arrested and nobody was seriously injured, they said. It was an assessment roundly challenged by many of the people who had to go through it.
    __
    Kim Lemish, executive director of the East Point Housing Authority, said the event marked the first time the city has offered Section 8 housing applications since 2002. The waiting list that lasted eight years had depleted, she said, and the agency was beginning a new one. So people braved all the physical difficulties just to get on a waiting list that could keep them waiting for years.
    __
    Lemish said the agency had expected about 10,000 people but three times as many showed up. Many were just accompanying those looking for an application. Some 13,000 applications were handed out.
    __
    Concern is rising that a similar scene could occur Thursday when the housing authority of this small city begins accepting the completed applications. Wednesday’s event was only to hand out the paperwork. The housing authority will begin accepting applications at 9 a.m.
    __
    Some of the crowd waited for two days at the Tri-Cities Plaza shopping center. As the temperature rose Wednesday, people fell ill.
    __
    Sgt. Cliff Chandler, spokesman for the East Point Police Department, said a toddler was treated earlier in the morning for “some type of seizure,” Chandler said…

    I just can’t wait until the local right wing talk radio — maybe not just the local — filters its racist reaction and jokes down through coworkers and conservative friends.

    Is thinking some of those church hats are crazy … racist?

    Sheeet … I wish Obama would fire Rahm and hire Jay-Z instead. Though, yeah, him being bigger than Trump and all there’s no guarantee that more progressive legislation will get passed. He’ll put on enough strong-arming shows to make teh libruls happy, though.
