Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Bark louder, little dog.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

This really is a full service blog.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

    Good call, John. Leave the "pointless or stupid" to us commenters.

    My guys again! I’m not gonna lie… I have pretty photogenic cats. Black and white is Scamp, brown tiger is Leon.

    Awwwwwww. I wish ours would snuggle like that, but if they get into one another’s space there is just a tornado of fur and hissing. It’s only when I put dinner on the table that they cooperate– the big tom distracts us by chasing his tail and crashing into something, while the tabby sneaks on to the table top, looking for something she can quickly swipe off our plates.

    I have two cats of similar coloring as the ones in the photos. The black and white cat likes to groom the other, but invariably the brown cat gets over stimulated and smacks the black and white cat which then causes a rejoinder and the chase is on! It especially sucks when they are fighting in bed right between my legs! They that this morning and then a couple of minutes later their rubbing noses again. Weirdos.

    Fergus has detected my fervent interest in Teh Cute That Is Not Him and has thudded onto my lap to gain my attention and lodge a protest. I think my right humerus just snapped.

    @Cain:

    Ours will only suffer each other’s presence on the bed if one of them is under the covers and the other is on top of the covers. Invalid when the one on top of the covers actually sits on the one underneath.

    Or, if I’m napping in the bed (we don’t let them in at night), they’ll lie on opposite sides of me. Problem with this is that like all cats, they become roughly 783% heavier while sleeping, which makes it hard to roll over or get out of bed because the blanket is anchored down.

    @ Comrade Mary:
    Mine has been trying to sit on my lap for several minutes now. There is no room on said lap due to my advanced pregnancy. The cat has tried several different approaches and keeps sliding off. I think he is going to settle for draping himself across my shoulders like a stole.

    Ok, that is adorable. And the post title basically sums up where I’m at with my work today, too. Which is too bad, because I’m on deadline.

    Awww…that photo is sweet. Reminds me of my sister’s cats. I’ll have to send you a photo, John.

    @Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse: Thank you for not kicking me when I’m down, Mary. With great trepidation I clicked, fearing I’d find The Other Mika holding a litter of ferrets or something.
    Sweet story, and man, that Anna-Lena looks like a firecracker, don’t she, fired up and ready ta go! All accessorized and equipped for her important role as witness.
    If I ever get another girl kitty, she’s gonna be Anna-Bell.

    (Does this mean Mika B’s dad wanted her to be a boy? That might explain her willingness to allow Joe Blow to abuse her on a daily basis.)

    Those two look like my two, Bill and Fortuna. Have to get pics of them. They sleep together and cuddle all the time, most amusing being when the younger (6 months or so) fortuna climbs on bill (4 years+) and proceeds to bathe him as he dozes off.

    Aw, "kicking" wasn’t meant in a good way, was it? Sorry, I do like that guy. But I love Krauss, too. Altos and sopranos, cats and dogs, it’s all good.

    I heard the Gold mastered version of this on really good speakers on New Year’s Eve and was really blown away. I have a soft spot for technically limited geezers with great phrasing. (Yeah, I’m looking at you, too, Bobby Z.) YouTube and your computer speakers won’t do Willie justice, but it’s a taste.

    @Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse: Ah, I was just playin’ with you. You rock.
    The music I choose is 100% dependent upon my mood and energy level (like everyone else, probably) so I find I am especially sensitive to certain types of music and musicians when hyper-sensitive emotionally or physically. (Not to mention CNN’s Leon Harris or Rick Sanchez!)
    Thus, I fast-forwarded through all my vintage Blondie on my walk today. Alison is just exceptionally soothing and soulful today.

    Strangely, I also have two cats with similar coloring. But mine are both female and my tabby, Saffy, grooms the black & white, Katrina. Then when Kat starts feeling affectionate Saffy gives her the claw and wanders off to groom the dog, whom she really likes better. It’s a weird little world.

    WTF is it with cats and laundry baskets? I pull big felts of orange and white fur out of the dryer’s lint trap every time.

    Here’s something: Joe the Plumber is going to Israel as a war correspondent.

    Will THIS be the final piece that makes the dead-enders realize that Joe the Plumber is anything but an average guy?

    @Svensker: We need to add BJuice to the list of blogs the commentariat monitors and mocks as needed.

    Or even as opportunity arises, which would be a more accurate summary.

    Is it true that Israel is going to start using lolcatz to explain whatever the hell they’re doing in Gaza?

    I can haz cluster bomz!
