Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

So many bastards, so little time.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

How stupid are these people?

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

He really is that stupid.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Emailers, I have heard your pleas. Here is an all in one puppy update.

That Sports Illustrated had it coming.

Profile of Ginny.

A profile of Guesly.

Napping. And for those of you who were wondering which one is the “Alpha” dog, this video might shed some light on that question:

They are like that every moment they are awake, and then they periodically collapse for naps for a bit, and then they are back at it again non-stop. Enjoy.

BTW- For those of you doing your Saturday cleaning, there is a Monkathon on USA.

    Reminds me of my cats. The undersized bag of hate rulez her Tunch-sized bro with an iron claw. I’m surprised he wasn’t born with one ear chewed off.

    But I reckon that before long the pups will join forces to destroy that stuffed JR in the background.

    They are a heaping helping of cute. Nice flannel jammies on the mystery human in the photo, too. My husband’s got a pair that have lobsters wearing mittens on Flexible Flyer sleds. He is also in the armchair across from me, reading the newspaper while our tabby grooms his head for him. And here I thought he’d started using product.

    Dude. You have no idea how obsessed we are. As I write this, I am laundering my Casey Hampton jersey, my Steelers sweats, and my backup Terrible Towel.

    How are the folks doing with these two sticks of dynamite? They have got to be a blast to watch. I suspect if they want to they will end with some video that, if posted to Youtube, would get thousands of views.

    Are they headed to obedience training yet, or are they still too young?

    Great puppies. God, it takes a special kind of person to live through Jack Russells.

    They are like that every moment they are awake, and then they periodically collapse for naps for a bit, and then they are back at it again non-stop.

    Hee. Got a pooch just out of puppyhood ourselves, and we are always amused at how she runs around like a wild thing, suddenly collapses in a heap as if shot, sleeps for five minutes, then leaps to her feet, announcing, "I’m fresh as a daisy!" Repeat cycle.

    Eh meh gahd. Too much cute in one post. It’s a little overwhelming. You should have spaced them out a bit for the faint of heart.

    Btw, they have grown!

    Awww. Dey ahr sooo cute.

    Just be careful Tunch doesn’t get jealous. You know how cats can get.

    Speaking of kitties, here’s a little something for all you cat lovers.

    I am not diabetic, but I think I need a healthy dose of injectable insulin after this one. Too much of teh sweet will cause that.

    Of course, that will all change after they steal a cast-iron frying pan and chew it to bits.

    that’s what was such a treat about watching those damned shiba inus recently. they would chew, pounce, wrestle intensely for 20 minutes; then collapse in a heap upon one another to sleep for an hour. then awake and do it again.

    watching these two go at it throughout the day must be a special treat. i love that second photo of ginny — standing on that leg and eyeballing certain mischief to come.

    @John Cole: I can’t remember if you have said this before, but do you leave Tunch on his own when you go visit the home base in PA?

    John, I’m sorry for you that the game is more than 24 hours out. It’s not even a nice, early afternoon, eastern timezone kickoff. How are you going to get anything done between now and tomorrow afternoon?

    My middle-aged mind had forgotten about the JRT pups, so thanks for posting. Also, want to commend your parents for getting a pair. They will give each other the exercise they need, which is probably what your folks had in mind ;-)

    Go Steelers!

    I could have predicted that Ginny would be the alpha – seems female JRTs have to dominate every animal within their terrain. My son has one that’s 10 years old, she is the queen dog wherever she goes.

    Please tell me that wasn’t the Swimsuit edition, dude.
    Do teh cute little demons have their fangs and wings yet? It is good they have each other for the excersise, I can only imagine having to keep one of those little guys entertained and out of trouble. Cool pix.

    I had a cat who would drink out of faucets like that. But she died. (sigh)
