Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The house always wins.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I did not have this on my fuck 2020 bingo card.

Good luck with your asparagus.

Screw the Judean People’s Front. Splitters.

Just a few bad apples.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Mission Accomplished!

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn – Nancy Pelosi

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

Han shot first.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

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

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

This blog goes to 11…

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

‘Forty-two’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

… makes me wish i had hoarded more linguine

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

Cole is not at home at the moment, so he just wrote and asked me to publish some of the write-ups that came in.  Hopefully whatever he is unexpectedly up to is more like the missing mustard and less like the shattered shoulder.  ~WaterGirl Paul Wartenberg Looking Forward In taking a minute to look back, …

Apparently the Q forums are a bit disappointed. Here’s more. Oh, yeah: The New York State Capitol was almost overrun. Almost:

Inaugural Open Thread

This post is in: Open Threads

I’m watching the official feed, which is hosted by a couple of long-time Capitol guides, since they have cameras in places where nobody else does.  They have apparently been told to avoid mentioning 1/6, so it’s interesting to hear them dancing around the subject, especially when Eugene Goodman was introduced.

We did it — the ACA survived

by David Anderson|  January 20, 202110:25 am| 72 Comments

This post is in: Anderson On Health Insurance

Over the past few days, my little corner of nerd and advocacy world has been having a long collective de-stressing breath that most of us had not realized we had been holding in for four years and three months.  The Affordable Care Act has survived.  In some ways, the individual market components of the ACA …

But Did He Leave A NOTE???? In the RESOLUTE DESK??

This post is in: Open Threads

I’m a glass half full and there’s a spot on it guy, I know, but there’s about a 100% chance that the same wankers wondering whether Trump left a note in the desk for Biden will soon be filing stories about Biden’s failure to vaccinate everyone for COVID, followed by pieces on the crushing deficit. …
