One of you guys might have requested Winger.
Enjoy.

Been kind of out of it the last couple of weeks, what with rehab, the move, and work, but I finally remembered to bring the camera with me to the new place. Here is Lily checking out the new carpet:
As you can tell, no granite countertops. Also, Tunch now has a bay window to sit in, and I am going to put a bird feeder right outside it to keep him occupied.
BTW- does anyone remember all the taglines we have used so far? I remember Massa Massage, I showered with Rahm and all I got was this lousy blog, All Your Base Are Belong to Tunch, and I know there were more. Going to set it up so it rotates.

The worst thing about death panels: it’s so much harder to get out of them compared with, say, jury duty. Nobody wants to be the one guy missing when they hold a vote.
Chat about whatever.

I added ‘NANCY SMASH‘ to the Lexicon, while the links were still fresh. I hope we will have the opportunity to use it often and gleefully. While you’re over there checking my work, feel free to suggest amendments to that or any other entries.
Speaking of Wonkette, everyone should go read “A Children’s Treasury Of National Review Online’s Most Comical Passages From The Past 24 Hours”, which is illustrated with the most excellent parody of the obama-joker poster that will ever be achieved in this or any other universe. Just be sure you don’t have anything liquid in your mouth when you click… for the sake of your laptop / keyboard / widescreen.

Waterlewd!
Apparently I wasn’t the only one to get the wild idea to taunt Jim DeMint with Abba. Apparently some merry Facebook pranksters had the same idea:
Heh, indeedy.
The pranksters are still having fun attaching pictures to his site:

Couple of quick things:
1.) Don’t forget to buy your Balloon Juice swag. All proceeds (and by all, we mean every single penny, unlike hucksters and frauds like Sean Hannity) goes to Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue.
2.) Remember the best way to support this website (other than the paypal button, which we only pimp once a year to raise some fat loots to send to the webmistress for a site redesign and to clear out all the gremlins that build up) is to always use the Amazon button before making purchases there. We get a small cut for every sale. Over Christmas, that added up to a couple hundred bucks! I generally use that cash to donate to other websites that are running fundraisers or to various charities that I like, and sometimes I spend it on expensive booze. In addition, we get a small stipend for every change.org petition you fill out.
3.) Traffic has been crazy the last couple months. We had close to 100k visitors yesterday, and I have been really happy with how the server has held up. There have been some hitches, and sometimes when we get slammed by a few links to a post with a picture, things grind to a halt for a little bit, but otherwise things have been really stable.
4.) Thanks again for all your calls to your congresscritters. I think it has helped.
5.) A big thanks to Eric DeHais for the new Obama/Pelosi Mallet o’Doom picture.
6.) Thanks to the new guys, Dengre and Mistermix for joining up with me, Tim, DougJ, and Anne Laurie. I really feel like the website has moved to the next level.
Obama Akbar!
