Don’t forget episode five of the Pacific is on tonight.
John Cole started Balloon Juice early in 2002. Those who have followed along know that this has been quite the journey.
Gittin’ ‘R Done
So the Westboro Baptist pukes came to WV to trample all over the memory of the 29 coal miners we lost, and they received a rowdy reception:
Other states might stage peaceful counter-protests or sing songs about unity, but you pricks come to WV spewing your bile and we’ll follow you around making large farty sounds and have our rednecks with mullets and big dips of Copenhagen scream bible verses at you while threatening you and telling you to get back home. Get your weak shit out of here.
That’s just how we roll here. And this was nothing compared to Game Day. At least here, everyone was sober.

Masters Open Thread
Everyone seems to have gone Galt, and I think I will too.
Also, the Masters is on. I’m rooting for “not Tiger.”
The Sarah Palin Network
Thanks to SIA, this SNL clip was just brutal (and awesome):
If John McCain had any honor, dignity, and shame, after watching that video he would grab her and take her with him to Dick Cheney’s undisclosed nation and hope the entire world would forget about them and the fact that he foisted her onto the national platform.
CBS Sunday Morning
I’m moving slow to day, which makes no sense, because I was in bed by 10:15.
Oh, well.
Cleaning on Catnip
I guess this is what my Saturday nights have become- get my cat all smacked up and film him trying to clean the hard to reach places:
He missed the entire lower half of his body a spot. I am, however, a major fan of the barrel roll maneuver he executed at 40 seconds.
In all honesty, he is losing weight. I can tell.
Saturday Night Open Thread
Since I know we are not all pet people here, I offer you this- Someone (Samkitten, spawn of Redkitten) got his first haircut:
I’m not a baby person, but that kid is pretty adorable. And that shit eating grin on his face is priceless- “Hey, ladies!”
