Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

The willow is too close to the house.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

How stupid are these people?

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

This really is a full service blog.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

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

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

    I LOVE that. Please say it will be on a t-shirt. My son will need one. He doesn’t know it yet, but he will.

    That would be awesome, and will make me finally get off my ass and buy some BJ swag.

    Speaking of rescue animals, we’re looking at possibly taking in a rescue Bichon Friese to go with the one we already have. I hope we can make this work.
    Also have some stuff coming up soon that will make my life a little crazy (er) for a while.

    OMG, that’s it. You’ve forced my hand, Cole. I need that in a coffee mug right.this.minute. Which will probably set up a buying frenzy as I assuage my guilt at the thought of hurting sweet Lily’s feelings and hope that Tunch considers a purchase a proper tribute.

    Awesome. Rosie looks like she’s going to marinate you in oil and spices if you don’t take her out to do fun things.

    God, do I ever know that stare.

    My 19-yr-old Maine Coon would give me that stare 24/7 if he could. While trying to bump his head against me, or at least touching me with one paw. That little grizzled paw coming at me so tentatively/sneakily is at once endearing and crazymaking…I can relate to John’s earlier post about nearly being driven nuts by the nonstop neediness.

    I do believe Tunch, Lily, and now Rosie may have solved most of my Christmas-shopping issues.

    @soonergrunt:

    May the Farce be with you. Bichons are, generally, pretty mellow about “sharing” with other dogs in their size range, so as long as one or the other doesn’t have some specific trauma in their past it should work out just fine. All else being equal, two small dogs (like two small kids) are not actually twice as much work as one — they keep each other occupied & burn off some of the calories that would otherwise being used bothering YOU. Unless you’re a glutton for punishment, and decide to bring home a JRT…

    Rosie looks like she’s thinking–I’m not going anywhere so you better just get used to it.

    Love it. My first thought was that the thing that no-one coulda knowed was that you would keep Rosie. Except of course I knew it, as did, it seems, a whole bunch of other ‘juicers.

    @Evelyn: LOVE it in that version! (took me a minute to realize all-caps was a link!) All of us who have ever been terrier-ized can so relate!

    ETA: Have you given it a try with the picture of her, post deer/goose poop? She looks pretty devilish and fun-seeking there, too.

    Fantastic work, as always!

    @Evelyn: Evelyn, that is all kinds of awesome (love the ‘fun’ one in the link)! You’ve outdone yourself this time.

    Cole, so I take it we are feeling not as tetchy about Rosie now?

    @CynDee:

    It’s a mockery of “Who could have known?” as in, “Who could have known that the housing bubble would have burst like that?” Or, “Who could have known that the Wall Street bankers would whine like little babies after losing all the monies in the free world?”
