Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

No one could have predicted…

Republicans do not trust women.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

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

Some quick pics of the family pets. First up, the greatest Jack Russell Terrier in the world:


Russell is giving me dirty looks, trying to get me to play with the football behind him. He isn’t the most photogenic dog to ever walk the earth, but we love him anyway and he is much more handsome in person.


Sid, my sister’s 20+lb polydactyl, sleeping in my dirty clothes basket. That is a full sized basket, to give you an idea how big that damned cat is.

I will post Speak and Whisper, my brother’s cats, tomorrow.

    Russell likes to have his belly rubbed, but John won’t show up a picture of that because he’s had the PJM logo tattoo on the dogs tummy….

    My dog is a jack Russel mix. He’s my little terrierist, a dog not to be trifled with: a loving heart and lots of teeth.

    Great cat picks, John and Jim.

    John, you should let us send in our pet pictures, as Krista once suggested. What, you think you run this blog?

    I know you gave us all those bells and whistles on the comments a while back, but what have you done for us lately?

    Is this an open thread? If so, I wonder what people think of this . Now, I realize that Marshall Whitman’s not to everybody’s taste — but would the Dem’s do well to resurrect the Senator from the State of Boeing?

    Ok, John. I will send them this weekend, since I am swamped with year-end crapola. Sigh.

    Thanks for the future cat thread. :)

    Jim, I should get a picture of my roommate’s cat–she has three of the little beasties, all of them prior strays, and one of them has morphed into this incredible Fat Cat. Which is fine except when she decides to walk on your tummy….

    Nice looking dog. As for the cat with the sweet face being so big, heck, that’s just more cat to love.

    If you’re really that fond of Jack Russell terriers, you’re free to come to Cameron Park, California and help yourself to the one just down the street from me. He barks so incessantly in the middle of the night that I’ve begun considering the positive aspects of poisoned meat.

    That jack Russell shouldn’t be out at night. Call the Humane Society. His people are neglecting him. I hate people who harm animals. The incessant barking is a sign of loneliness.

    The incessant barking is a sign of loneliness.

    actually, its not loneliness as much as “insecurity”. A dog left outside will often feel “exposed” (away from its “pack” where it can feel safe) and/or obligated to alert the pack to “dangers” in the environment. (if its literally constant barking all night, its the former, if the dog starts barking at the slightest stimuli, the latter).

    Smurfette, you have no idea what you started with that Kitten Wars site. It is ADDICTIVE!! LOL

    Smurfette – I keep voting for the kittens/cats that aren’t as cute, just because I feel sorry for them not getting as many votes. What the heck does that say about me?
