Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

The willow is too close to the house.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

This really is a full service blog.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Aspirin Hates Women

It appears that not only does aspirin alleviate pain and ease suffering, but it also hates women:

Men who took aspirin over five years slightly lowered their risk for prostate cancer, but women who took low doses over 10 years didn’t reduce their risk of cancer, two separate studies indicate.

The conflicting results don’t help settle the debate about whether aspirin and similar anti-inflammatory medicines could be used to prevent cancer. Doctors think different study designs and aspirin doses explain the contrasting findings.

”I don’t think we have a final story on aspirin” and its effects on cancer, said Dr. Peter Greenwald, director of cancer prevention at the National Cancer Institute, which helped fund the women’s health study.

Interesting.

    My guess is, based on the information given, is that women don’t have prostates.

    But I’m no medical professional.

    Heh…funny!

    As a woman, I’ve often wondered why the medical community would suppose that medicines which work on men would work exactly the same on women.

    We have different parts, different chemical balances, different hormones, even different DNA structures. Duh…we’re different!

    Yes, we are the same species, which means that most meds will have a similar effect on both men and women. No, we aren’t the same internally so therefore, logically speaking, the drugs won’t work exactly the same.

    But, thats just my opinion as I’m not a medical professional nor a biogenetic engineer/scientist.
