Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

We still have time to mess this up!

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Bark louder, little dog.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

You cannot shame the shameless.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Question for Cat Owners

My cat is fascinated by water. Every time I turn on a faucet, take a shower, or flush the toilet, he comes running- he especially loves watching water drain. I am now effectively wife-trained with the toilet, as I have to put the lid down when I am finished- otherwise he splashes around in it. Is this normal?

    Absolutely common to a sizeable number of cats. Some even like to get in water in a tub.

    Yes it is. One of my cats races to the shower and waits for me to turn it on. Then he runs out like the devil. Seems normal to me.

    Our cat is facinated with the shower. I doubt he would ever get in while the water is running, but when I step out he runs to the door and starts sniffing around, as if he is deciding to go in.

    Maybe he just wants to see if the water tastes as good as what’s in his dish.

    I also have to keep the lid down, or all of my cats will throw themselves a pool party. One of my cats has taught herself to turn the water on in the sink in order to play in it, as well….

    I have two cats. One long hair and the other short hair. A month ago The long hair cat had wet looking fur(almost greasy) on his back. It lasted for a week or so. Now the short hair cat has the same thing, but it cleared up on the long hair cat. They are clean cats etc. Should I be worried?

    Help Please! My only cat of 4 years, Mittens, a make Maine Coon, has decided in the past year that he does not like anything “extra” laid on the floor (bath mats, throw rugs, the Christmas tree skirt, or any piece of clothing), and he will pee on it. (His litter box is kept clean.)

    I have thrown out all of my rugs as a result, but it is annoying living this way. I love him, but want him cured! Any advice?
