Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wetsuit optional.

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

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

This fight is for everything.

The math demands it!

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

This is a big f—–g deal.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

We can agree to disagree, but i’m right.

Let there be snark.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

We are aware of all internet traditions.

I’m going back to the respite thread.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

This is how realignments happen…

Militantly superior in their own minds…

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Everybody saw this coming.

I personally stopped the public option…

Will you kids quiet down in there?

<iframe width=”425″ height=”349″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/DmV0TcTNJ3o” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

It’s all coming back to me now – an aging Eva Peron, drunk and in a teeny weeny bikini trying to pick up a very young and very green Officer Chief of Staff called Augusto Pinochet. The horror.

    No, I won’t quiet down. The music is probably nice, but can’t hear it at this rent a terminal.

    Off topic, but urgent. Looks like the Krug is trying to put lefty blogs and blog commenters out of business. His Monday May 9 NY Times column looks to be a pretty direct response to Brooks’ column The Politics of Solipsism.

    Krugman will probably do criticism and analysis of Brooks’ economics better than we do. Which will shut down half of the blog crtitques of Brooks. I think at least one FDL poster’s main business model is criticizing Brooks’ economics.

    I guess we can still kibitz whenever Krugman decides to go after Brooks’ economics.

    So, what is left? I guess there is Brooks’ cultural critiques. But that is so easy: Applebee salad bars, etc.

    Better than a young Hillary getting picked up by a drunk and very sauve Bill Clinton who takes her to a museum which is closed and then, astoundingly, Clinton manages to sweet-talk the museum curator into letting them in anyway.

    Of course both scenes pale by comparison with Rudy Giuliani in drag belting out a chorus from “Fame.”

    @jl:

    Gee, ya think? A Nobel Prize winner in economics?

    Krugman analyzing Brook’s “economics” is like Richard Feynman analyzing L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics. The sheer grotesquerie of the cognitive overmatch is balanced by the ludicrousness of the spectacle.

    that was nothing, imagine the look on the aging eva when she spotted the young pinochet as the meat de jour in an adolf eichmann-alois brunner sandwich.

    of course who could she tell, and exactly who’s reputation would she be ruining?

    I’ve tried writing a critique of one of Brooks’ articles, but was reduced to spluttering at his stupidity. I ended up with a page with the words “David Brooks is a dickhead” scribbled one hundred times.

    While I suspect that’s the essence of every rational analysis of Brooks, it doesn’t make for entertaining reading.

    As such, I just entertain myself by writing nasty stories about him being humiliated by old ladies and then posting links to them on his Facebook Wall.

    Such fun, and so much nicer than letting his particular brand of stupid into your head.

    So apparently Arizona’s plan to finance their super-duper impregnable border fence is…to crowdsource the funding. Seriously. Governor Jan “Not The Chicken Lady” Brewer just signed a bill that will set up a website to solicit donations.

    And, of course, they’re going to use prison labor. I suppose they’ll get Sheriff Joe to supply pink jumpsuits.

    “Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you.”

    @Joey Maloney: it will be interesting to see how the logistics of their plan will pan out. Jan had a bout with semi-lucidity about a week ago and vetoed the birther bill and the guns on campus fiasco, good to see that she’s back on her meds or that Russ Pearce has his hand up her dress again so we can get back to the standard operating procedure of SNAFU in our state. Nice to see that she didn’t have the gumption to have one of their pets put this thru the lege and will instead raise the funds from the Faux brigade of the easily fleeced for this project. What will be fun is watching them transport “workers” from Phoenix metro about 200 miles to the border, thru Pima and santa Cruz counties, where they have no jurisdiction to set up shop, work camps and gather construction materials to install their fence. It might be worth sending a film crew outta Tucson to watch this “privately funded” project unfold.

    @piratedan: I would personally lurve it if every single border county sheriff stops construction due to permits, lack of proper worker protections, what have you. Then wingnut heads will asplode when the courts find the sheriffs totally within their rights to do so. I plan to make black jewel popcorn in celebration.

    @piratedan: I don’t know about down there, but up here builders are just about the most reliable GOP donor base. You would think with housing starts low they could pick up some of that construction gig, but nooooo, the gubbmint is unfairly competing with private enterprise by using slave labour. Looks like there’s a place to put a wedge.

    Cept Pinochet was older than Eva. She died in 1952 at the ripe old aging of 33.

    This is true. However, in 1951 he was very much at the start of his career and still full of piss and vinegar, and quite a handsome (and virile, if memory serves) man of not quite forty.

    Eva at 31 looked like an abandoned handbag with teeth.

    Despite Bush following Clinton, I still believe in a world where the future is generally better than the past — which means I believe in that future world, that better place, where writing a post that calls David Brooks a “dickhead” 100 times is not just a recommendation for becoming a Times op-ed columnist, but a requirement.

    Love you Sarah but Eva died in 52, she could not have been ‘aging’ since she died pretty young. Just saying!
