Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Second rate reporter says what?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

“woke” is the new caravan.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The new temporary speaker of the house is a spiteful little shit.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

That pie keeps getting more and more forks, reducing anyone’s chance of even a Perot.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Bark louder, little dog.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Let’s finish the job.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Before our own entries, head on over to Scalzi’s place and check out Bacon Cat.

Ok- I got a lot more responses than I expected (we are at around 90 and counting), so I just picked two a few (math is HARD):

Ollie
Ollie

Ollie strikes a pose.

Pati
Pati

I just love the coloring on Pati.

This is Honey, who looks like she belongs at Cute Overload.

And finally, video. The sound here is rough.

I am busy saving all the other pictures.

    I found my cat drinking from a puddle of water left in the tub. Since he never seemed to drink from the bowl in the kitchen I decided to put a bowl in the tub. Now I have to to fill the bowl in the tub morning and night. It’s amazing just how much a cat will drink from his or her selective source.

    I had a cat who was willing to get water on her head in order to lap from the bathtub. I wonder if it has something to do with preferring "fresh" or running water.

    More likely that’s a mandatory cat quirk. All cats come with between 5 and 100 pre-installed behaviors that make their owners say WTF?

    Our cats prefer water in the following order:
    1. Filtered.
    2. Toilet.
    3. The puddle around the drain after we get out of the shower (people broth?)
    4. Tap water.

    Actually, they make life hell if they find tap water in their bowls. I don’t drink it ‘cos it stinks and I can’t imagine how bad it smells to them.

    Yes, I have a german shepherd chow mix. He knows about thirty commands, can count to three and can say two words, "bike ride". Every evening we bike around the block so he can survey his kingdom. One evening he flushed 11 rabbits.

    And then one day a few weeks ago, the damned cat caught and brought a tiny baby rabbit in the house. The dog saved the rabbit from certain death. I took pictures of the baby rabbit before we let him go. Maybe next time I’ll send John pics of the killer cat, the heroic dog and the little baby rabbit.

    I have a german shepherd chow mix.

    JSF, he sounds like an awesome dog (two paws up for bunny-saving), but it’s fascinating to me that he’s that specific mix.

    Konrad Lorenz talked about those breeds as polar opposites in King Solomon’s Ring. The Lupus type (such as the Chow) is supposed to be incredibly loyal, but never truly submissive. The Aureus type (such as the German Shepherd) is much more tractable, but doesn’t typically form that strong bond with one person. But he found that his accidentally crossbred Chow-Shepherd mix, Stasi, seemed to show the best traits of both types, being both devoted and obedient. And for several decades, people have been developing a breed called the Eurasier that they hope can show these traits consistently.

    So was your dog an accidental crossbreed, or was he the results of a deliberate attempt at getting an awesome dog from someone who had read Lorenz?

    I don’t know. The compliance officer at my last company brought him in to work one day. Her husband, an electrician, was working on the Eastern Shore the day before and encountered some folks who had a puppy they’d gotten as a Christmas present for someone else who didn’t want it so they were gonna drop it off in "country" somewhere. Her husband told them not to do that, he’d take the dog. My co-worker was very unhappy about him bringing a puppy home since she already had a whippet. We’d just moved into a large house with a large yard in a "dog neighborhood" so I told her I’d take the dog.

    And what a dog.

    I own a dog, BliiiiiG DADDY. Maybe I should send a video for John to post. She really projects through the screen – when she cocks her head in that confused way, any dog owner would sit up a little straighter on the couch and think "Hey, I think she just cocked her head at me." And her smile. She has one of those doggy smiles that’s so sparkling it’s almost mesmerizing. It sends little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the room. This is a quality that can’t be learned, even with a mixture of positive reinforcement and firm correction; it’s either something you have or you don’t, and man, she’s got it.

    Shooting birds is the faggiest of the shooting sports, suitable for young girls and the elderly and infirm – witness our decrepit, oxygen-deprived vice president, incapable of moving more than 300 feet at a time without supplemental oxygen. Bird shooter, of course. You can do it from a wheelchair, even. Just shoot and get your dogs to do all the work.

I understand wild rabbits go into some sort of shock when traumatized which would explain why he wouldn’t leave my hand when we tried to free him.

    If GoatBoy catches a view of the pic you know he is going to ruin his monitor, especially if they are young goats. Mikey likes his ‘kids’. ;)

    She really projects through the screen – when she cocks her head in that confused way, any dog owner would sit up a little straighter on the couch and think "Hey, I think she just cocked her head at me." And her smile. She has one of those doggy smiles that’s so sparkling it’s almost mesmerizing. It sends little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the room. This is a quality that can’t be learned, even with a mixture of positive reinforcement and firm correction; it’s either something you have or you don’t, and man, she’s got it.

    Sounds like she should run for vice president!

    I will have to upload a pic of our Mama Kitty (to be). She is a tuxedo kitty and really cute. Now we have a young orange (Maine Coon) tom hanging around here lately. I think Mama Kitty is telling her friends that we are softies here. The young tom is really cute and about as silly as a cat can get. He is really affectionate, rubs against everything he can and loves to get petted, but he never purrs. He plays on the carpeted stairs all of the time, rolling down them a step at a time and clawing his way across each one. If he sees his tail, he will jump at it and flip over then jump up on his paws like someone attacked him.

    Freaking strange cat, but it is a funny strange. He will not eat or drink out of a bowl. We noticed that he likes to fish out any cat food that Mama Kitty knocks under a cabinet by her food, and only then will he eat it. So one night I put a small handful of food under the cabinet and sure enough a bit later he came along, found it and then fished it out and ate it, one piece at a time.

    So that is how we feed him whenever he drops by (which is just about every evening lately). For drinking, he prefers the toilet or the shower for water. Odd cat…lol

    You have a choice this November, bitches. When Zombie Santa rears his head in a jar over your border, President Obama will wave the white flag of surrender and allow all of you to be hauled off to camps where you’ll be syrupboarded by Canucki jihadists.

    President Palin, on the other hand, will protect you so you can keep having perverted sex while sipping lattes, smoking reefer and hating America. At least until she has enough political capital to round you up and haul you off to camps.

    Paulson is privatizing the Bailout.

    Ed Forst, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive Paulson hired to head the transition team, started work last week and is charged with helping establish the new Office of Financial Stability.

    Lobbyists say the Treasury wants to run the program as much as possible with outside contractors. Career Treasury staff would handle the administrative tasks.

    Banks won’t be allowed to sell assets to the Treasury for more than what they paid, unless they purchased the assets from another bank already in bankruptcy or conservatorship. Congress instructed the Treasury to issue conflict-of-interest guidelines, so banks don’t take unfair advantage of the new program.

    My wife took a break from her jihadist Rachel Ray cookbook to make some home made commie tomato soup. Our daughter got the tomatoes from a Russian girlfriend of hers.

    We’d never waste the good stuff like that. Instead, we’re planning on using it as an incentive to lure American immigrants in order to increase our population. It also helps to make up for the fact that we’ll force you to gay marry as part of your citizenship requirement.

    Hm. The blockquotes are still working funny if there is a line break between paragraphs in the quote.

    Cats are highly evolved killing machines. You rate as more of a low-status monkey.

    The video’s pretty cool. I can’t believe that cat acted like there was absolutely nothing unusual going on. I have a "psychocat" that showers herself as she’s trying to drink out of her water dish (she’s very near-sighted so she splashes the water to see at what level it is) but I don’t think she would ever go for something like that. LOL

    So much goodness. In order, now:

    J.S.F.:

    Here is a pic of the baby rabbit the dog saved from the cat

    Why do bunnies make me turn into a 7 year old girl shrieking out vowels? Eeeee!

    cough cough

    Ahem. I mean, good for you and your canine companion for rescuing that valuable member of the biodiversity in your local ecology. Yes.

    Comrade Kevin:

    That tiger lives at the San Francisco Zoo (pictures by me).

    Great shot. You might be interested, if you’re not familiar, in the story of Antoine Yates, a sort of local folk hero for tiger lovers.

    If John McCain is elected, you will need no further incentives for us to come to your blessed northern paradise of actual maple syrup, suspiciously tasty "bacon," hot gay marriage, and appalling "free speech" laws. I can haz refugee status?

    Hey, Scalzi and Bacon Cat get mentioned (but not pictured) in the NY Times today. Dog people, don’t take his remarks personally. He has a dog, too, and I’m sure he talked about Kodi. Damned feline MSM, slanting the story again.

    Yay! My Honey was posted!

    I’m sorry guys, I saw ‘Pet’ and I didn’t know it was only referring to cats.

    btw, Honey is a beagle mix. She has gotten confused for a pit however.

    Honey lives in my apartment bldg. on the Upper West Side in NY. She’s captured everyone’s heart around here. What a surprise to see her here! Good dog, Honey!
