Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

“Alexa, change the president.”

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

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Usually wrong but never in doubt

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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.
