Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

All hail the time of the bunny!

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

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

An almost top 10,000 blog!

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

People are complicated. Love is not.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

The lights are all blinking red.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

When we show up, we win.

One more thing- anyone who has ever seen a basketball in their entire lives- WVU needs a coach, again. This one lasted a week before quitting. We are the laughingstock of the sporting nation.

No posting for me until Sunday, most likely. It is 75 degrees, sunny, and I am about to go engage in a 2 day margarita spree. If you want to help me with bail money, I prefer the paypal method over the amazon honors…

Adios

Is this the real cause

Is this the real cause for European Anti-Semitism?

“What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.”

Can you guess the Jew-basher? Pat Buchanan? Pat Robertson?

Nah. Hillary Clinton? Maybe, if Dick Morris can be trusted. It was actually Karl Marx, in an obscure 1843 booklet written in response to German theologian Bruno Bauer’s “The Jewish Question.” The booklet is best known by the wishful Moscow translation, “A World Without Jews.”

The author has his own excellent blog that you might want to check out. By the way Clay- I want on the damned enemies list. Snicker.

This should help you choose

This should help you choose which computer you are going to buy:

The country’s fourth-largest computer maker is taking to the airwaves in a bid to rally consumers against a copyright-protection bill that would prevent computers from playing pirated movies and music.

Starting Wednesday night, computer maker Gateway Inc. will launch a radio and TV ad campaign urging consumers to visit its Web site to download free music and learn more about a copyright debate that so far has been dominated by Washington lobbyists and corporate lawyers.

The ad campaign underscores the furor over a bill introduced last month by South Carolina Democratic Sen. Ernest Hollings that would prevent new computers, CD players and other consumer-electronics devices from playing unauthorized movies, music and other digital media files.

Let’s see. Dell hassles legal gun owners and federally authorized sellers of weapons, Gateway is spending their money promoting awareness of the horrible impact the Hollings Bill will have on consumers.

I am in the market for a new computer. My choice got much easier.
