Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

T R E 4 5 O N

Fight them, without becoming them!

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

If you are still in the GOP, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

When we show up, we win.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Israel, don’t be dumb like we were in the US after 9/11!

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

No one could have predicted…

In my day, never was longer.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

And with that, I am off to watch Kinsey, which I hope will not suck as much as I am afraid it will.

    I can’t afford the laptop.

    However, I can give some free advice. Beware the automatic litter box.

    Mine never worked right and I ended up throwing it away. Unless your cat(s) pee very small amounts, the thing will jam on the clumped litter. The noise scares the cats, and if your cats are like mine, they are extremely finicky about their litter box. One bad sound or smell, and they won’t go near the thing for days, or longer.

    I suppose some people have good luck with them, but I never did.

    Of course, I am the Ayatollah of No Anecdote-a-rola, so maybe I just have weird cats.

    We’ve had the large one for a few years. We’ve replaced it twice and will gladly do it again when the motor burns out every 18 months or so. Except for our cats frequently urinating on the grate, which causes scooping problems, it’s been a nice timesaver.

    I liked Kinsey, although it started to drag near the end.

    An anecdotal caution against a Toshiba laptop. I bought an A35-S209 18 months ago. It is now a very expensive doorstop. About 3 months into use it started to overheat and automatically shut down. Repeatedly. Sent it back to the manufacturer three times. They replaced the fan three times. Still does the same thing, but now I have no warranty.

    I did a little Googling and it seems this was a bit of a problem for a number of Toshiba models. The processor was too strong. I just plugged into Google

    I have four cats and the auto-litter box is wonderful. I also use two regular boxes, so the auto one doesn’t get overworked. My large cat, whose clumps are the size of a large boulder, will occasionally stop it up. But, he rotates around the boxes, and it doesn’t happen very often.

    I also have four cats, down from six.

    Oldest, 18 years, youngest 3 years.

    I attempt to rule them by explaining that they have walnut-sized brains, and that I can take them all to the pound.

    Whereupon they climb into my lap and go to sleep, knowing that in the end, I am completely whipped and totally under their control.

    My oldest cat is 13, and she is blind and she gets anything she wants, anytime she wants it. The youngest picked me up in a parking lot when she was still a baby, the shameless hussy. She rules the house as well. We work to support their catnip and toy habits, and to keep them in premium cat food. Pet Smart sees me coming from a mile away.

    I just gave one of mine a nice little portion of $18 a pound fresh halibut. I sacrificed some of my lunch for the furry little beggar. (Half a dozen IAMS varieties are not enough?)

    Meow.

    (Translation: Is there more fish?)
