Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This is how realignments happen…

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

The math demands it!

It’s been a really long fucking year.

It’s not even safe to go out and pick up 2 days worth of poop anymore.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

All this crying. this is why i don’t click on stuff.

Yes we did.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Naturally gregarious and alpha

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Let there be snark.

Reality always wins in the end.

There will be lawyers.

I personally stopped the public option…

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Shelter in place is one thing. shelter in pants is quite another.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Kudos to John

This post is in: Site Maintenance

Before I start with substantive, and insubstantive posting, let me give a huge thanks to John for the opportunity to contribute. John’s nonpartisan attitude (some would call it equal-opportunity grumpiness) has spawned a comments section that in my opinion offers one of the most moderate and intellectually honest places for posters from both sides of the fence to meet and generally knock each other about the head and shoulder regions. All four sides of the fence if you throw in that autocratic/libertarian/permissive/Buffy-watching mumbo-jumbo.

So to start off with, let me answer the most pressing question in the blogosphere today: what’s in your iPod?

Answer: I don’t own an iPod. I listen to practically the same seventeen or eighteen CDs and that’s mostly when I drive.

In other news, in honor of poster KL I’ll probably start up a tradition of Friday beer blogging. Expect typos.

More soon!

TF

Tunch is safe. I changed my password.
