Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

This blog will pay for itself.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

This is slightly NSFW for swearing and obvious gay porn cliches, but it made me laugh, and it’s a Saturday night so I do hope none of you have to be at work anyway.

Isn’t it about time for a drunken Cole late night post?

    I’ve watched the most recent epi of Person of Interest 3 times now.
    And when Jesus stone faces that woman at the airport. That’s like fucking poetry.

    I’m still not sold on the angel character, but I loves me some Jesus. Freakin’ amazing.

    Stayed up board gaming with friends last night, hung out in Berkeley today, snuggled with the partner, and am working on C++ code right now. Life is decent, I guess, except for the last part about C++.

    Gotta love corporate America: the manager of the South Pole station for Raytheon has a stroke, and they refuse to evacuate her, even now that the weather’s improved considerably. The comments on the NYT article are fun, especially the guy who suggests her vision problems are “hysterical blindness” that’s “common in menopausal women.”

    No drunken tweets yet, either, although one could speculate on the possibility of pants on or off. (Although in this case it’s probably more responsible not to.)

    And speaking of gay porn cliches, Ricky Santorum won second runner-up with 18% of ballots cast at today’s Values Voter Summit.

    Venerable VVS heartthrob Ron Paul won the pageant’s tiara and scepter with 37% and, by enticing 23% of the audience, that strapping buck Herm Cain is next in line to the Family Research Council-sponsored throne.

    Governor Goodhair (whatever happened to those rumors that he might, in fact, be gay or bicurious?) could win the affection of only 8% of balloteers, but that was fully twice the number the Mormon could attract.

    As for Ambassador Jon Huntsman, the man so beloved by the bookers of Sunday morning gab-fests, no one, exactly 0% of the 1,983 straw poll ballots, showed him any love at all.

    There are times that I’m not as thankful for this as I should be. Like now. There’s some motherfuckers who did us wrong, and I have a perfectly good wall.

    Gonna occupy Phoenix next weekend with the kids. Sheriff Joe can bite me.

    @Amanda in the South Bay:

    Could be worse — could be FORTRAN or COBOL on MVS.
    On punched cards.
    Debugging from printout.

    Could be new boot-code in assembly language on new-bring-up hardware on which the serial debug port doesn’t yet work and so the only observable output is four front-panel LEDs.
