Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Come on, man.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

This really is a full service blog.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

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

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

A consequence of cucumbers

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

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

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

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

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Well, That Was Fun

Just got back from the vet with Tunch, and boy was that fun.

Tunch, it turns out, does not like rectal thermometers.

I just watched my normally docile cat turn into a snarling, hissing, growling beast straight out of Stephen King’s Pet Cemetary.

Bastard even bit me (and the doctor, and the attendant).

My response- take him home and give him tuna. Man do these animals have us wrapped around their damned fingers.

    I think the world’s only creature that does was just acquitted yesterday of some major, related charges.

    Cordially…

    As owner and slave to 4 cats, it’s like this: I serve entirely at their pleasure.

    Somehow they are able to employ their walnut-sized brains to deciphering, and figuring out how manipulate, just about every aspect of my behavior.

    I have two cats. The only reason they haven’t taken over the house is because I also have a pitbull.

    At least he’s not a human… he probably would have sued you for traumatizing him. ;)

    My vet uses those electronic thermometers. It’s still an anal probe, but only takes half a minute. Doggies and kitties rejoice; and their humans do, too.

    John, how did babysitting your sister’s critters work out? At last report, all was excursions and alarums. Were you able to sequester everyone away from everyone else?

    It was an absolute disaster, and Tunch got fleas from my sisters dog and worms from the damned fleas (when cats groom themselves, they eat the fleas andflea dirt and the fleas carrying the worm).

    Now I have to fleabomb the house.

    And Tunch is still giving me dirty looks.

    And I’ll bet his farts smell like tuna, too.

    Our tabby decided to quietly starve herself when we switched her dry food to something more appropriate for a cat in her golden years. Once we noticed that she was turning into Skeletor, we whisked her off to an alarmed vet who confirmed that she had lost almost three pounds. We were advised to feed her a can of wet food each day until she gained weight, then to try to switch her to geriatric food again.

    Anyone want to make bets right now how this is going to turn out?
