Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Consistently wrong since 2002

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

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

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

No Good Will Come From This

Mom stopped by with Ginny and Guesly, and let them off the leash. They cornered Tunch in the bedroom with the door shut, and I opened it to make sure he was alright, and the brats burst through the door. Tunch jumped on the bed, climbed the drapes til he hit the ceiling, jumped back down onto the bed and OVER the two dogs, hauled ass down the hallway onto the cedar chest, knocked over his food bowl because he slid, then motored. I’m sure it was quite traumatic for Tunch, but an evil side of me thought it was pretty hysterical.

After things got calmed down, we let the dogs near him one at a time to see if things would change:

I’m thinking Tunch deserves tuna for dinner (although he is sometimes fussy about it- he only likes the greasy stuff served in oil, it seems).

    Kitties are drama queens. He probably enjoyed the excitement and won’t remember it by dinnertime anyway, but no pretext is necessary when it comes to tuna!

    Aw, look at Tunch desperately trying to hold on to his dignity and pretending like he doesn’t even SEE that doggie right in front of his face!

    Yes, Tuna for Tunch today! He gets my vote.

    Yes, lots and lots of tuna, formed into a doggie shape, because revenge is best served at room temperature.

    Bwahahaha @ the image title. Poor Tunchie. That doggie face is priceless. Ginny or Guesly (whichever one that is) looks like he or she thinks Tunch is the best playtoy EVAH! It’s like something out of a cartoon. I think tuna is definitely in order tonight.

    These are the moments you wish could have been captured on video.
    I just heard this great true story from my daughter-in-law. A carpenter had completed the wood side enclosure on a spa tub for a family that had young children & many pets. Lots of noise & activity in that home. That night about 10 pm the carpenter got a frantic call from the mom. One of their cats had sneaked into the empty area by the tub before the carpenter had closed it in & was now trapped in there. On the phone, the carpenter could hear the children crying & talking to the kitty while kitty was chiming in with loud meowing. He had to go back, cut a hole in the side wall he had just finished to let kitty out.
    Cats are such snoops & love hidey holes. I can see why kitty just couldn’t resist.

    “Can’t we all just get along?”

    Hilarity. Never a dull moment around Jack Russell Terrorists.

    After the earlier midnight glaring incident with Tunch, it’s probably time to lock up the kitchen knives. Me-Ow!

    When I see a cat looking at a dog like this, I imagine the cat is thinking, “Sound and fury, signifying nothing.” When Tunch has had enough he will unleash the claw of doom, and the pup will never think of a cat the same way again.

    (although he is sometimes fussy about it- he only likes the greasy stuff served in oil, it seems). At least Tunch doesn’t demand fresh salmon every meal. Does the tuna have to be served on a bed of fresh arugula?

    When trying to tempt our dying cat to eat, we gave her the good stuff: tuna packed in olive oil. Not sure I was ever forgiven for waiting 16+ years to introduce that.

    Give Tunch what he likes. You don’t have to eat it.

    Tuna and catnip. Or whatever Tunch wants. It’s likely he’s plotting his revenge against John and the dawgs anyhow.

    LUV the Tunch!

    OK, that settles it.

    I’ll have to testify for Tunch at the trial after he kills Cole in his sleep and eats him.

    Cole: when you are cooking in the evening, please make sure you wash off any edible oils before you go to bed. I want to put off that awful day when your commenters have to troop through the courtroom and reluctantly testify that Tunch committed the crime in the heat of passion and needs therapy, not incarceration.

    But, I fear that day will come.

    PS: yesterday I did suggest you keep a video cam handy for action shots while all these animals were tearing down your house. Jeesh. I try to be helpful around here, but Cole never listens to me.

    I feel bad for Tunch. He felt safe in his own home, and then was shocked into fear. I don’t know how old he is, but that can’t have been good for him.

  33. 33.

    April 17, 2010 at 6:17 pm

    @Cheryl from Maryland: I about freaked the other day when I saw my local store carries it. If it weren’t for my inherent sense of decorum I would have boogied right there in the aisle. That does remind me I need some anchovies too.

    April 17, 2010 at 6:19 pm

    @Skepticat: Sorry to hear that.

    I second that Tunch gets whatever he wants tonight, short of Cole himself (maybe, I’m not sure yet), to make amends and in honor of white cats everywhere.

  35. 35.

    April 17, 2010 at 6:26 pm

    Yes Tuna for Tunch. I too feel sorry for him. How could he be attacked by so many creatures in his own home?

    John please make sure you post something early tomorrow, we want to make sure Tunch didn’t eat you.

    April 17, 2010 at 6:48 pm

    John, I hate to say it, but I’m guessing Tunch is thinking more like some Guesly in oil, tartare, with a little sprinkle of Ginny on top.

    You feed him “greasy stuff in oil”? No wonder he’s corpulent.

    I say this and have a 26 pound cat amongst our nine.

    Oh, PLEASE. You really expect me to believe that lump was able to do these things?

    Awwwwww! Poor Tunchie being attacked in his own house. He’s still as beautiful as ever.

    @Skepticat: I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your feline friend. My deepest condolences to you and your loved ones.
