Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Four legs? good! two legs? we’re not so sure…

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

I can’t take this shit today. I just can’t.

Just a few bad apples.

Tick tock motherfuckers! Tick fucking tock!

The revolution will be supervised.

Too inconsequential to be sued

This really is a full service blog.

Dinky Hocker shoots smack!

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The willow is too close to the house.

We have all the best words.

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

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Almost as fun as hiking the Appalachian Trail

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

All your base are belong to Tunch.

This blog is Obama’s Katrina.

The house always wins.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Trump is going to draw a dick on that dog with a sharpie, isn’t he?

How do you get liars to care about the truth?

Something seems odd about that, but i have been drinking.

I forget why I ended up at my damn channel, but someone sent me there, and I looked around for a little bit and found the Don Was channel. Go there, now.

By the way, thinking about Palin’s amendment idiocy from earlier, I could have sworn she said something threatening towards the media just a little bit ago. Anyone have a link?

    From yesterday …

    That said, the rheinheitsgebot was an archaic law meant to keep brewers from putting scary shit in their beer, not anything to do with actual quality beer. So it’s not like it would guarantee good beer. Good beer is made with all kinds of non-barley and non-hops stuff.

    On North Coast labels, it says, "Water, malted barley, hops, yeast, and that’s all."

    You can’t get it many places on the east cost, but in MD:

    Dops Inc.
    116 Pates Dr.
    Fort Washington, MD 20744
    301 839-8650

    And, the good folks at Corey and Nate’s Beer Labels say,

    Red Seal is a "must-drink" for anyone pretending to pretend to know anything about beer. If you haven’t had it, go grab some, drink it, digest, and then come back to our site later. Bitter and hoppy, it’s arguably one of the best and most distinctive reds out there, right up there with Mad River’s Jamaica Red and Rogue’s St. Rogue Red. All of North Coast’s beers are equally exceptional and worthy of mass consumption.

    And, they give it 5 pints.

    :oD

    I’ll suffer the consequences (gluten reactions) to drink Red Seal!! Bring on the antihistamines!!!

    I’ve had fun handing out candy to the kiddies this evening. Not a ton of kids around us – we might get a couple dozen total – but it’s so fun seeing them all dressed up and grinning. The little ones are especially cute, they look so shocked and surprised to have strangers passing out chocolate, with no idea what to say.

    I dress the door up in cobwebs and plastic spiders, and hang stupid stuffed ghosts around. It’s tacky but I love it. My husband carved a great scary-face pumpkin which still has a candle burning in it. I love Halloween, it’s all so outside the norm for our very ordinary neighborhood.

    Shockingly, I agree with Sarah the Governor; I’m all for investigating associations. Like the association of John Birch society material on her desk as mayor (cleaning up the streets of litter, I suppose), her affiliations with the AIP (just the Governor being neighborly, I’m sure), and her associations with the builder of the hockey arena in Wasilla that looks like it built her house, too (coincidence, no doubt).

    Glenn added a link to a recording so you can hear the whole thing, and commented you couldn’t appreciate how stupid it was just reading the transcript.

    It’s actually more painful to hear it than read it, because you can hear her thinking about the analysis she’s making as it leaves her mouth, and she clearly believes she’s actually making an important and profound point about First Amendment rights.

    Ohhh. I recommend listening to that audio, painful as it is. I can’t get over that as cynical as I’ve become, this is worse than anything I’ve heard before. At least Bush knew to not associate himself directly with certain attacks, and to leave them to third parties. This is the nominee for the presidency; it’s stomach turning. The Republican party keeps getting worse and worse, even as it seems impossible. And you’re absolutely right John, the wingnuts are in control.

    October 31, 2008 at 10:47 pm

    Another thing that strikes me in that recording is just what an incredible fake she is. Bush was a fake as well, with his ranch and his folksy manner, but she is just ridiculously obvious.

    It’s sort of perplexing to me, because I’m a practical person and plainspoken also, but just cutting to the chase and calling things like I see them, just like most Americans. But this has not left a bitter taste in my mouth, the bitter shots taken by the mainstream media and by some of the elitism there in Washington. . .

    In the first sentence above, she’s actually dictating the way she wants people to see her, the image that accent and manner is supposed to convey. It’s like a parody, bordering on what someone would do in a comedy sketch. And people are being taken in by her. They’re idolizing her after a few short weeks. Being fooled by Bush was bad enough, but her?

    Well, that didn’t take too long. Eagleburger extricating his foot from mouth and paying the proper homage to your Wingnut Queen.

    Eagleburger: You are witnessing something quite unique — a man who’s about to talk to you while he has his foot in his mouth. I made a serious mistake yesterday. I was quoted correctly. I wasn’t thinking when I said it — in fact, I was discussing foreign policy, and this was in that context. And I was just plain stupid. And if I have given the flim-flam artist Barack Obama some success with this, I am deeply apologetic. I did not intend it.
    —
    " In fact, if you look at this carefully, on the question of experience for example, Sarah Palin has been a governor, she has executive ability, she knows energy issues. Now you tell me what Barack Obama has ever done in the way of executive business, doing anything in the executive field. He has been in the Senate for some two years and he has been there half of the time and seldom votes on issues.
    —-
    I’m sorry, I made a terrible mistake".

    Actually, you were thinking Larry, and now your being a good Republican and speaking from your ass.

    I guess this is change we can believe in.

    Hmm, actually it sounds a little like the Valerie Plame story. You know, like ‘more of the same’.

    The reason Niekamp said she was given for checking if there was a child-support case on Wurzelbacher does not match the reason given by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

    Director Helen Jones-Kelley said her agency checks people who are "thrust into the public spotlight," amid suggestions they may have come into money, to see if they owe support or are receiving undeserved public assistance.

    Niekamp told The Dispatch she is unfamiliar with the practice of checking on the newly famous. "I’ve never done that before, I don’t know of anybody in my office who does that and I don’t remember anyone ever doing that," she said today.

    Latest Zogby poll on Drudge shows McCain leading (yes leading) nationally in their single day poll on Friday. People are catching on to your socialist Dear Leader. Perhaps it’s too late and the media cheer-led, celebrity candidate will still win.

    Should Your President win, I expect the regrets to start rolling in about 6 months.

    One thing to add: I was giving serious consideration to voting for Obama as of about 2-3 weeks ago.

    But the notion of "redistributing the wealth" from people who have worked hard their whole life to make a living towards people who are promised government welfare benefits is such a fundamentally UN-American principle that I am embarrassed for having even considered a vote for him. I don’t really give a damn if you are insulted if you actually think "redistributing the wealth" is a good idea – the Constitution refers to the sanctity of the individual and the protections granted upon him or her from the state. It does NOT talk about "redistributive rights". So again, that is a fundamentally UN-American principle.

    I think there are many millions of other Joes out there like me who agree. This is why Zogby is showing McCain ahead now. We shall see how this plays out.

    Hey concern cobag, the Constitution does have a few things to say about illegal search and seizure, and the duty of the president to uphold the laws and treaties that Congress passes.

    It figures you’d be a good little Brownshirt. When Bush tried to go after people who disagreed with him, it was bad. When Obama does it, you’ve got no problem with it.

    I couldn’t think of a more classic example of hypocrisy on display.

    So you’re comfortable with the state of Ohio doing an extensive check into the personal life of Joe the Plumber because he had the audacity to ask your Audacity of Hope candidate a question?

    That doesn’t sound like change, it sounds like more of the same. The only thing that’s changed was the letter in front of the President’s name.

    Such an important thing to you that you didn’t bother to do the work. Obama didn’t use that phrase, he used a figure of speech which is widely used to mean, and taken to mean, evening things out, leveling a playing field, not literally spreading wealth at all. The context was taxation, and specifically, progressive taxation which has been the standard of American taxation models for a most of the Twentieth and all of the Twenty First centuries. The model favored by Teddy Roosevelt, and the one arranged for you by both Democratic and Republican congresses and presidents for the better part of a hundred years.

    What you are talking about in your spoofapalooza blurb is a lie, a distortion of the thing said by Obama, turned into a false slogan and demagogued by a bankrupt political campaign to stir up its base.

    Nice try, though.

    @I Am Joe: You might want to visit 538. It is the best polling site on the web. Nate Silver uses a number of solid techniques (and he explains them all thoroughly, if you are a statistics nut like I am), and he is cautious about presenting his results. When you break it down state by state (especially, those pesky swing states)…actually, you might not want to visit that site, because according to Nate, McCain now has less than a 3% chance of winning the election.

    It is fairly well known, I believe, that Zogby is generally an unreliable pollster that typically oversamples Evangelicals.

    At any rate, at this point in the game, national polls are far less important than the cumulation of state polls. (There is a chance McCain might not even win Arizona, for example.) So, for you to say things like "we’ll see how this all pans out" makes me think you either 1) aren’t a fan of statistics (or don’t understand statistical techniques); 2) have never visited the 538 site; or 3) are an employee of Premier Election Solutions (formerly known as the Diebold Corporation).

    This is why Zogby is showing McCain ahead now. We shall see how this plays out.

    If you’re planning on Zogby getting you through the night on Tuesday, you had better stock up on a lot of antacid. You’re going to need it.

    I suppose your candidate is doing so well that he doesn’t need to have any boots on the ground?

    (h/t to TZ for sending me this info).

    By the way, TZ and I have been past the McCain HQ here in Phoenix several times (both separately and together), it looks like an abandoned building, nothing goes on there. There are no signs in the store front windows which are papered up like a Gangster operation.

    Well, that didn’t take too long. Eagleburger extricating his foot from mouth and paying the proper homage to your Wingnut Queen.

    No matter. We know that he meant what he said. CYA is never a pretty thing.

    …in fairness to McCain’s campaign, they really should not have needed a Phoenix campaign operation. This state should have been in the bag long ago.

    McCain 2008 is going to go down as one of the most incompetent campaigns ever. For all of Bush’s fuckups, at least they knew how to win or steal an election.

    @Laura W: 24 short hours later, I am breaking up with Lawrence O’Donnell. He is now blaming Failin’s STAFF for her 7 min long nightmare chat with Canadian pranksters.
    Her STAFF.
    What was I thinking? Was I out of my mind? How drunk was I anyway?
    He sucks.
    I will never love again.
