Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

No one could have predicted…

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

People are weird.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Good lord, these people are nuts.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Republicans do not trust women.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

I’m all jacked up on the Via I taste-tested a few hours ago, so I couldn’t stop myself from taking an early look at Bobo.

What kind of a person would think his readers might enjoy an extended and unexplained parable about David Hume and Jeremy Bentham? Why not just start signing this shit Bobo +6?

I can’t decide who I am more tired of hearing about- Brett Favre or Sarah Palin.

Isn’t it time he went Galt?

I have nothing against Alan Greenspan personally. He admitted that his Randian fantasies about the perfection of the free market were all wrong; if more wingers did this, the world would undoubtedly be a better place. And I think he’s right about unemployment going over 10% (he’s really going out on limb there, huh?).

But why the hell would anyone listen to him about the economy after he spent years claiming there was no housing bubble?

I know you are all sick of hearing about my dog, but I lover her to death and loved this pic:

And here is the view from my lap on any given night, as she has the perch down and sits on my thigh for hours on end:

Calling that the view from my lap reminded me of this.

Back to the 70’s/funk youtube wars.

Here is a particularly fun gardening post at the Great Orange Satan.

*** Update ***

I’m feeling ornery:

Let the 70’s/funk youtube wars begin.

It is on.
