Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

He really is that stupid.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

We still have time to mess this up!

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

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

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

This blog will pay for itself.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

From commentor Tony S:

You asked people to send in rescue stories… I’ve got a bunch of them.
__
I’ve been looking for a reason to write them up. If you’d like, I’ll be glad to tell the tale of the 11 dogs we’ve rescued since we bought our house 10 years ago, one at a time…
__
To whet your appetite, here are some photos of our latest rescue, Snarls Barkley, who I briefly mentioned in our previous post–first from the day we got him, then in recovery with his collar off, then peacefully snoozing on my wife’s shoulder.

I guess if we want to hear Snarls’ story, we’re all gonna hafta beg…

    Where’s the story? Tony is such a tease to make us wait but the truth is sometimes it doesn’t matter how you rescued the pet, it only matters that you did.

    When I had to sleep on the couch last January because G’s annual bronchitis made a comeback and I couldn’t sleep, our cat Annie was doing that — she would sleep on my pillow next to my head and rest her chin on my shoulder. Cute as hell.

    Except for the brown on the face I have a 14 yr old named Lucy that I found in the woods while mushroom hunting that looks just like Gnarls………
