Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

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

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

Republicans in disarray!

He really is that stupid.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

This really is a full service blog.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Fight them, without becoming them!

This blog will pay for itself.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

A consequence of cucumbers

Dear Lord, hear my plea

by DougJ|  September 27, 201311:59 am| 138 Comments

This post is in: Blogospheric Navel-Gazing, Our Failed Media Experiment

There’s a famous and profound conjecture in mathematics that I won’t describe to you (maybe I’ll say a few words in the comments) that people often complain is almost unfalsifiable. It’s an inequality that is supposed to be true, given certain fudge factor adjustments, but one has so much latitude with these fudge factors that …

Mitt-igating Circumstances

by Zandar|  April 11, 20129:45 am| 60 Comments

This post is in: Vote Like Your Country Depends On It, Our Failed Media Experiment, Romney of the Uncanny Valley

Harold Meyerson over at Kaplan Daily actually asks the correct post-Santorum question:  Can Mitt swing back to the center, and in what reality is that even possible? Since the Tea Party takeover of the GOP in 2009 and 2010, Republican voters have often either nominated candidates so far to the right that they lost winnable …

Predatory Overlords, From Octopus to Vampire Squid

by Anne Laurie|  August 23, 201112:45 am| 39 Comments

This post is in: C.R.E.A.M., Election 2012, Excellent Links, All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

Not much to add, but I think this deserves wider distribution. Alexander Keyssar, in the Washington Post, reminds us of what our political ancestors achieved through hard work and sacrifice a century ago, in “The real grand bargain, coming undone“: Despite all the recent talk of “grand bargains,” little attention has been paid to the …

How the GOP Governs (Badly)*…or A Few Bumps in the (Rail)Road for our New Randian Overlords…

by Tom Levenson|  November 8, 201010:03 am| 74 Comments

This post is in: Election 2010, Election 2012, Republican Stupidity, Going Galt

This caught my eye on one fine New England Monday morning (snark, for those of you not enjoying our rain/wind/grim a.m.). (h/t Midwest Energy News). Money quote on the rash of GOP cancellations/dissings of transportation projects: The $810 million from Wisconsin, $400 million from Ohio, and $3 billion from New Jersey will come back to …

Riverdancing with Hugh

This post is in: General Stupidity

Earlier today, the birth of a minor quip in the “Cruise South America with Hugh Hewitt” thread: Ahmmm, I’m a ghey, and I wouldn’t do anything with the words “Cruise” and “Hugh Hewitt” in it. Of course, with all those social conservatives in one place, it’ll probably sound like Riverdance in the bathrooms. We now …

Recipe Exchange: Weights and Measures

This post is in: Food & Recipes, Recipe Exchange, Recipes, yes, I know your recipe is always better than mine

narya and I were talking about using weights to bake – I think I was talking about bread, specifically. She was kind enough to write up a little primer on why it’s better to weigh your items instead of just measuring them, in case you were wondering about the hows and whys of it all. …
