Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

In after Baud. Damn.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

I almost forgot. The Eurotrash have become so reflexively and stridently anti-American and anti-semitic that even SNL is poking fun at them. Last night they had one of their mock commercial/PSA’s attacking the French. I forget the entire text, but the voice over started calling them ‘Cowardly, yet opinionated, and let’s not forget extremely anti-semitic.’ Later on it called them jew haters.

I loved it. I hate the French.

Very weird weather today. The temperature dropped like 20 degrees, then we had a terrible lightning/thunder storm. My satellite went out for two hours, and the storm hit so suddenly that lightning managed to hit damned close to my house before I was able to run around unplugging everything. The lightning hit so close to my house that it distorted the picture on my monitor (it was all washed out and blue looking, like an old color tv gets after 15 years). I turned it off and back on, and it worked fine, so I guess I lucked out.

Well.. I am back, sort of. I have to be out of town starting Wednesday, so I should be able to resume posting seriously when I get back. First things first. If you have not seen the news yet, Le Pen stunned the socialist Jospin, and the left is up in arms, marching in the streets. Le Pen had this to say to reporters:

“I have nothing to do with fascism,” Le Pen said. “Fascism is protesting the result of a vote violently in the street.”

Sorry for the lack of posts. Number of things going on, first and foremost is a job hunt. The margaritas and 90 degree weather are not helping. I should be back in form shortly. If you should choose to hire me site unseen- me email is to the left there.
