Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

We still have time to mess this up!

Let’s finish the job.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

The willow is too close to the house.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

This really is a full service blog.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

Just a reminder, tomorrow is the selection day for the final four for the Cutest Dog, and we are all still pulling for Little Bitsy:

A special thanks to those of you who privately sent checks to Evelyn to help with dog rescue efforts.

    Annie wants you to know, John Cole, that Evelyn Bridges rescues cats too! Lots of cats!

    But thanks for the thread anyway.
    You rock.

    Also, tomorrow we’re gonna find out who wins Oprah’s karaoke contest, I think. Although I’ll probably miss it because I’ll be at the dump all afternoon.

    Someone could have warned me off of Hardball this evening. Tweety really lets his freak flag fly when the topic is abortion. What a moran.

    I must have found something fulfilling to fill the gap of voting for Bitsy. That first week was rough, but now I’m okay.

    Give me a B!
    Give me an I!

    Yay Bitsy! Whenever I start typing an “L” in my address bar, the auto-complete keeps bringing up the Vote for Bitsy page, so I’ve been on tenterhooks about this.

    All you crazy food posters in teh OT yesterday inspired me to go to the farmer’s market today with my remaining small change and buy some APPLES!! Farmstand folk were so smart; they cut up a bunch of varieties and laid out some toothpicks so you could try before buy. Thanks to the recommendations I tried the Pink Ladies and they were DELICIOUS (which is to say, much more yummy than Deliciouses are). I too had not bought apples in years because of the cardboardness of the supermarket kind, so thanks!!

    You know what I loved the most about the whole “Vote Bitsy” campaign?

    The sheer number of people who would write things like “I don’t have any idea what the fuck you people are talking about, but since it seems so important to you, I guess I’ll go vote Bitsy…”.

    We are such a community of curmudgeons, but a community we are!

    Cheering and praying for Little Bitsy . All dogs are cute but Little Bitsy stands for more than that and I was honored to vote for her in the last couple of days of the contest. I regret that I did not do it all along because of my fear of spam (and I have gotten no spam). Yay, Little Bitsy.

    Thanks to all you Juicers for your support of Little Bitsy! We are hoping for good news tomorrow that she’ll be in the final 4. We couldn’t have gotten in the top 12 without all your votes – so thank you, thank you!!

    Yay Little Bitsy! I’ve been eagerly awaiting the day. I really hope she’s a Top Four finalist. She so deserves it and can help so many other animals in need. It’s been an honor to support her, Sylvia and Evelyn.

    Go Bitsy!

    I hope Bitsy makes the final four.

    I will deny it in court later, but when I was a very small boy my nickname was Bitsy. (WTF?! Still haven’t asked my parents about that.)

    We are two cats who live at Zoolatry. We do not like dogs very much, any dog. And we have learned (the hard way), that dogs do not like us.
    Just the same, we have voted day in and out, week in and out for Little Bitsy.
    She is one cute dog. We hope she makes “the final four” today because she deserves to be there. And we say thanks with appurrciation to everyone who has voted for her
    (and thanks to Evelyn who started all this, to Laura and John who supported it all the way along).

    @Zoolatry:

    Thank you for your ecumenical broadmindedness. You are an example to us all.
