Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The willow is too close to the house.

The revolution will be supervised.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Republicans do not trust women.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

This really is a full service blog.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

    Love the cat pics. We have three: a black, a white, and a Tomkinese. They share space with a female Boxer. Four very different personalities in pets makes for entertainment

    I know- the picture of the girl with the kitty should come with a warning label.

    I believe that piture could turn a dog lover into a cat lover.

    Hey Tony Alva, I hope she has a good agent. Is she more a park skater or a street skater?

    Alas, I have to admit that I’m not “the” Tony Alva of Z-Boyz Fame, but from the age of 14 through 17 I wanted to be him. Oh hell, I STILL want to be him alright?! Thanks for all the kind words. The cats are now brooding on account of the fact that my daughter stole their fifteen minutes from them.

    Cats don’t have “people” (“her person“), they have staff. Your construct makes the relationship sound too … equal.

    I dunno, Bob. Cute, big-eyed preschoolers also have “staff.” At least in my experience as on-call staff of both preschoolers and cats. I’m thinking that when one is 3 years old (4, maybe?) being a cat’s person is appropriate. One becomes the cat’s staff member at about age 5 or 6.

    […] I know this is upsetting, but just go look at this picture of Fiona and her person and it makes the pain go away. […]
