Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

… makes me wish i had hoarded more linguine

False Scribes! False Scribes!

Women: they get shit done

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

What fresh hell is this?

This blog goes to 11…

I personally stopped the public option…

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Saul Alinsky is my co-pilot.

The math demands it!

Han shot first.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

Militantly superior in their own minds…

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

I’m going back to the respite thread.

We still have time to mess this up!

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

We need fewer warriors in public service and more gardeners.

I’m only here for the duck photos.

Tick tock motherfuckers! Tick fucking tock!

Begging For a Caption

Photographers always seem to catch Howard Dean in a moment, don’t they? Personally, I think Howard Dean is a great guy and really was a great governor, but he needs to stay away from the media. He just doesn’t do it well.

This is his lame impression of Gene Simmons. (AP Photo/Stephan Savoia)

    Howard’s a cutie. If he weren’t hitched, I’d do him. I say this as a woman not given to appreciate older men (though I do like short men, and he pings my shortydar!).

    That was close to my first reaction: “What the hell? Is he acting out a FFM 3-way scene from some porno?”

    Governor Howard Dean, shown while addressing delegates at the New Hampshire Democratic Party Pan-Fetishist and Hedonist League of Voters Biweekly Conference and Orgy, emphasized his prowess with a rousing speech with a refrain of “I’ve got the fist, got the tongue, but guess what’s behind the podium?” It was reported that noted journalist Helen Thomas fainted while moaning, “Show me the surge, baby!”

    How about

    “We had double the turn-out that the Republicans had in Iowa and now we’re set to kick ass in New Hampshire!”

    What, too close to the truth to be comfortable? You wussies.

    He’s one of the best things that has happened to the Democratic Party in decades. His unwavering devotion to his 50 state solution gave us Congress in 2006 and is bringing the money for 2008.

    I would have voted for him in 2004 but I’m very glad he ended up where he is right now.

    Dean is a great guy and really was a great governor, but he needs to stay away from the media assholes who use images and audio out of context to create false smears against people just for the fun of it.

    It’s not unlike The Scream, where false audio (without the noise in the room) created a totally false impression, which became the truth because it ran 24 hours a day until it did.

    The moral is that if we give into that, all public figures turn into Stone Phillips, which is what happens when photogenic becomes the standard.

    Some friends of mine work for Democracy for America, a political advocacy and GOTV nonprofit group that grew out of the Dean for America PAC in some way I’m not totally clear on. DfA technically isn’t affiliated with the DNC, but Dean was very involved in getting it started, obviously, so they see a lot of him. At some holiday party — I think this was before I knew them, or maybe it was just after I met them but before I knew them well enough to be invited to the party — there was a game of charades. Apparently he’s good at the game, because he got them to guess “elephant” in record time.

    Sure, the media is dysfunctional and assholes and all that, but Dean, bless his heart, is confident and fun enough to be willing to be undignified. In what context would an imitation of Gene Simmons look flattering?

    THat wasn’t my caption suggestion, but my reaction to that picture.
    Caption suggestion: Punk-ass Establishment Democrats – taste the black sperm of my VENGEANCE!

    What did he actually say at that moment? Was is something along those lines? They hated him in 04. And DFA’s last campaign was to make sure “progressives” won in Iowa, which meant Obama, Edwards, or Kucinich – they were identified by name. DFA is run by Howard’s brother Jim.
