Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Just a few bad apples.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

This blog is Obama’s Katrina.

I thought we were promised Infrastructure Week

The revolution will be supervised.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Hot Air and Ill Informed Banter

This Blog Goes to 11…

Usually wrong but never in doubt.

Almost as fun as hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Yes we did.

What fresh hell is this?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Too inconsequential to be sued

The house always wins.

Good luck with your asparagus.

We Survived Breitbartpocalypse!

Also, too.

We have all the best words.

Nevertheless, she persisted

I showered with Rahm and all I got was this shitty blog.

The Math Demands It!

Naturally gregarious and alpha

Verified, but limited!

Hmm, I feel like we don’t have enough Katherine Harris photoretrospectives around here. How about this – you guys make sure that we don’t finish dead last in our category at the webbies and I promise to forget that the idea ever occurred to me. In the unlikely chance that we win I’ll even start up regular beer blogging again on a weekly basis.

Each IP can vote once per 24 hour period, so return as many times as you feel like doing. While there don’t forget to support your favorites in the other categories as well.

***Update***

Vote for the Newshoggers too since I probably bolloxed their shot at Best Liberal Blog (and because they’re a damn good blog).

    I was not kidding yesterday when I said they should change the name of these awards to the “”The Most Persistent Online Narcissism Awards.”

    Let the browbeating and Katherine Harries threats begin in earnest.

    Tim, first off a Katherine Harris retrospective would definitely lead to more fun with photoshop so your threats do not scare me BWAHAHAHAA. However I will vote anyways.

    Damn. Why don’t you just threaten to waterboard us in a tank full of pirahna?

    Oh yeah, that would be preferable to looking at Krazee Kat “BRING ME A FRESH LATTE” Harris. Fine…

    Man, you’re getting beaten like a redstated stepchild. (Okay, somebody had to say it.) But I did vote for you.

    And I vote yes on the Katherine Harris photoretrospective. You just can’t get enough Katherine Harris. Back when she was running for Congress, I even proposed a Katherine Harris reality show.

    Will the Katherine Harris photoretrospective be all boob shots?

    If so, that may not be so bad…

    Tell you what, I’ll vote two or three times and you just post some pictures of boobies okay? I mean even women (and gay men) like looking at boobies, they’re universally accepted.

    Let’s put some more “balloons” on Balloon-Juice…who’s with me?

    … I’ll even start up regular beer blogging again on a weekly basis.

    Please! Please! Please! Beer. Good. Yes. Beer Blogging Good.

    MUST TRY: Stone Brewing Company’s 11th Anniversary Ale. I just bought a case of 650 ml bottles after trying it the other day.

    APPEARANCE: Deep brown/black with a thick tan head
    AROMA: Fruit and some coffee-like roasted malt
    FLAVOR: Intense hop flavors, roasted, a bit sweet, with some alcohol warmth
    PALATE: Smooth, full, slightly sweet and very bitter
    OVERALL: Refreshing, a nice blend of intense hop flavors, hop bitterness and roasted malt notes. It does not need any additional aging, drink now!

    Now that it has cooled down some this is a perfect beer for the Fall.

    Done. Currently:

    RedState= 346 votes &@ 27.7%
    Balloon Juice= 264 votes &@ 21.2%

    Don’t forget to vote (from home and work!) folks! Lets ‘Chicago’ this baby. Look up your favorite proxy list and go to town!

    Hi Tim,

    How about throwing a bleg for the Newshoggers out there too? Surely we deserve the pity vote after being dumped from the “Best Liberal Blog” finalists?

A top White House security official, Crede Bailey, is gravely ill with Covid-19 and has been hospitalized since September, people familiar with his condition say. The White House has not publicly disclosed Bailey’s illness.
