Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Everybody saw this coming.

    Here’s a fun weekend in July that may be of interest to people who live near Western NC (ATL and SC, I’m looking at you!) Telluride Mountain Film Festival will be on tour in Cashiers, NC, July 10-11.

    Different outdoor/adventure/human interest short films both nights; great food, wine and beer both nights for the full ticket price – some $10 tickets available for those who want to come in at 8 for the music and the films at 9. Hopefully no rain so it can all happen outside in a lovely sloped park that sits above the Cashiers Crossroads. Tickets available online.

    1) TBogg does a good ‘shorter’ smackdown of Ross Douthat’s NYT column. John has the TBogg link (I’m at work).

    2) At the risk of raising JC’s ire, Rachel had a good segment about DADT that makes it pretty clear why the GLBT community is annoyed with Obama. A lot of promises kind of slipped his mind.

    @John Cole: Not sure the resources where you live, but if you can find a self-serve dog wash place, your back will thank you.

    Imagine a chest high tub, with a self-serve car wash type system, where you turn the dial for warm water rinse, pick your shampoo and then there is a dryer.

    Cost is $15 in the Bay Area (Pet Food Express), so I’m sure it is cheaper in your neck o’ the woods.

    Fingers crossed for a good health vet report!

    Has Tunch been around dogs before? When my cat, Sherman, met the Wheaten Terror for the first time, he wasn’t happy (hissing, growling, fur fluffed up). However, it only took him all of two hours to realize he could buy and sell the dog.

    Jon Voight is a douche.

    How can Obama be a “false prophet” if he never claimed to be a “prophet” in the first place? More importantly, is the GOP ever going to argue issues based on the “merit” of Republican ideas, rather than lying and putting words into people’s mouths? And where the fuck was this lunatic when W. was saying: “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.”

    I’m really sick of this crap. All these useless, theocratic Republican shitbirds can go die in a fire.

    Dog story from yesterday — took the 2 greys to the dogpark. In for about 30 secs, and unleashed. The hyper one mistakes a small brown Yorky all the way across the park for a rabbit, and bolts. 35-40 mph and unstoppable. For about 10 seconds, I’m trying to figure out how pay for the lawyer I’ll need just as soon as I get sued for my dog eating someone else’s. Luckily, she completely overruns the Yorky and on the double-back, realizes it has teeth and barks and is probably not a rabbit, so crisis averted.

    But god DAMN those dogs are fast and hard-wired to run at the slightest movement.

    When my husband was a teenager, he took the family Yorkie out for a walk. A larger dog apparently thought it was a rodent, picked it up in its mouth, and shot off into a wooded area. Mr Jud was able to get the dog back eventually, but not until after an unscheduled cross-country run.

    So John, I’m guessing that you ended up naming her Lily. I missed the end of that thread, sorry. She looked so fragile and gentle in the photo. Lily is a great name for her.

    I hope that your Lily is as good for you as my Lily has been for me and my husband. My Lily is a 15 lb. tortie cat who has a great big kind heart. She brings her strings and stuffed mousies to guests as presents. She started out a terrified shelter kitten and has grown up into a total lovebug.

    Your Lily was really lucky when she found you. Best wishes.

    Of course Dreyfus, being kind of weird, would just beg to get in the shower with me. I tell you, a Lhasa’s fur looks pretty awesome when you use Bain de Terre on it.

    @Max: Don’t know if your Wheaten is like ours (my husband’s actually), but he’s sort of a space cadet and quite neurotic. He wigs out at thunderstorms, fireworks, the home alarm system, and the smoke detector when the battery dies and beeps.

    He’s good with other dogs and is totally submissive to the cats. He has a menacing bark but he’s the biggest wuss. He’s now on a raw food diet because of skin allergies.

    Overall, he’s a pretty good dog.

    I have a 14 lb. tortie named Natalie. I tell her she’s like Michigan J. Frog because my husband and I are the only ones who know how sweet and wonderful she is. If anyone comes over, she hides under the big bed.

    She lays by her cat dancer toy as if to say, “I’d like to chase my toy now. Please make it move and I will go after it.” And she prefers to drink water from the water fountain at the kitchen sink.

    She’s the only one of our 3 cats who is NOT submissive to the Wheaten Terror. She’s cautious and dismissive.

    You’re doing a good thing John, getting that dog.

    I got another cat from a shelter last summer. He was in a cage for 6 months before I took him home and was probably going to die there. Four different people brought him home but returned him. Then I got him. No one wanted him since he’s kind of old, maybe 10 or more years. He’s one of the nicest, friendliest cats I ever had. I sent John a photo of him drinking water out of the (clean) toilet, a habit he came with, but he hasn’t post it. Hey, he asked for photos of pets in compromising positions.

    @lilysmom: You are so lucky. My tortie was a shelter kitty and was the most precious lil kitten you ever saw. Something happened to her, however, and she is now decidely anti-social. I have to pre-warn guests to ignore her deceitful rubbings against the leg. “It’s a trap, don’t try to pet her no matter how sweet she seems.” I realize she is just marking them – if they try to reach down and pet her, they are rewarded with a hard paw swipe and possibly a bite.

    And all I ever really wanted was a nice orange tabby boy kitty with a sweet disposition. (sigh)

    Yes, Lily is an angel. She would fetch thrown mousies like a dog until she turned 4. Now it is beneath her dignity… most of the time.

    Torties are just special. Smart, possessive, fearless and loving.

    I love dogs, too. I grew up with dogs, but our lifestyle doesn’t allow for a dog, right now.

    You’re not going to like this. Nobody here will, in fact. And I do hate to be the bearer of bad news. But it’s important, and you’re going to see this sooner or later: Dr. Tiller’s clinic to close permanently (h/t GOS).

    This isn’t particularly surprising, I suppose, but it’s nonetheless tragic. The terrorists have won, and we as a nation have allowed them to win. All the right-wingers who were wailing before the election that Obama wouldn’t be able to stop a terrorist attack, it turns out they were right. Not that I think he personally could have prevented it, mind you. Obviously, no president or Congress or political party could have prevented it, at least not directly. But it’s a terrible irony in this whole horrible situation.

    @Ash Can: Yeah, I saw that. I don’t know what to say. Damn.

    On a lighter note, I am torn as to whether I should watch the hockey game tonight. The Pens lost the three games I watched. Now, granted, they were all in Dee-troit, but still.

    On an even lighter note, it would be hilarious to have a guess the ta-tas.

    @Laura W: Why do you so love the photos of my filthy windows?

    It IS cold today, isn’t it? It’ll probably be like last year, where we had two scorching weeks in July, with the rest of the summer being cool and rainy. Bah.

    Hah, try winter in Hawaii. We have to import our own snow. :P

    @TenguPhule: Duh. If you wanted winter, you wouldn’t be in Hawaii.

    Now my mother, who grew up in Puerto Rico and Chattanooga, TN, went to college in upstate NY (very near, but not at, DougJ’s current affiliation) to get her snow on. Mission accomplished!

    @Krista: Horrid as we are, we have our own firecracker/fireworks show in the driveway on July 4th. Last year, we even had march music playing on the stereo. Of course, our lame little show culminated with “Stars and Stripes Forever.”

    Poor Danny Wheaten was beside himself in the house with all the noise outside. The cats were making fun of him.

    Colbert in Iraq… pure genius.

    Calling the general “Shrek”? Having Obama throw out an “I wasn’t talking to you” punch line (and, btw, Obama in another ‘entertainment’ venue)?

    The whole program is WIN. Can’t wait to see the other three episodes this week.
