Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

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

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Republicans in disarray!

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

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

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

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

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

All hail the time of the bunny!

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

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

We still have time to mess this up!

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

New Addition to the Family

Today was Tunch’s one year birthday, so I went to the pound and rescued another cat so that he would have a play friend. I now have two one year old cats, and I will not be in the market for another one anytime soon.

Things went relatively smoothly when I introduced the two- there was a lot of tension, some high pitched yelling, and hair everywhere- but enough about me. Tunch and Oliver (and no, I did not name him after Oliver North- when I saw him at the pound he just looked like an Oliver to me- and that seems to be as good a way to name a pet as any other, so it stuck) seemed to hate each other at first, then after a few hours their behavior turned into a sort of almost French indifference (“Yes- I see the stinking cat. What about it? He does not bother me. Give me a Pounce treat. You bore me, human.”)

After ten hours together, I am now John, the human Jungle Gym. The couch is now kitty high hurdles. I don’t know where my cell phone, my keys, any of my pens, or the remote controls are hidden. In other words, I am now servant to two masters. I will post some pictures when I borrow my friend’s digital camera.

    You MUST have known what was going to happen; do hope you have spares for all those missing items!

    Heh, I have to hide all my pens and pencils or they vanish. And my cat has a tendency to become the Feline Cannonball just as I’m getting ready to drop off to sleep. (As I am just about to drift off, THUD — the cat jumps on the bed. Then she tries to bite my toes. Flying kitty! But she doesn’t mind — she thinks that’s fun.)

    Of course they took your cell phone. Cats have important calls to make, the takeover of the earth to coordinate, and so on.

We did it!

We raised the 25,000 for The Civics Center, and with the external matches, that gives them $60,000 for this Spring effort!

You guys rock!
