Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

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

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

Let’s finish the job.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Not all heroes wear capes.

In my day, never was longer.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

You cannot shame the shameless.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

NYC Area Dog Bleg

From commentor William F:

As you can see from the pictures, Richie is a dog (I think a Shih-Tzu and Lhasa Apso mix) with a LOT of character! In October 2007, I adopted Richie from Small Dog Rescue of Princeton, NJ. I was a single guy, looking for a small and loyal friend and Richie provided that. However, I am his 3rd owner (and he is only 8) and he spent several years at the shelter. The abuse he received prior to me has come out in small bursts and has been a very low cost of ownership, but unfortunately, with my fiancee now being pregnant, his jealousy has gotten out of control. Unfortunately, I am now in the position of trying to find a new home for this incredible dog. I know I can always bring him back to the shelter, but he would do so much better with a caring owner who can give him the love and attention he deserves.
__
While he is generally calm and relaxed with me, and would be great with a single older owner, Richie does not share well and would probably have accidents (and potentially nipping) if he had to share a home with another dog or small children.
__
This is a very sweet, mistreated dog in need of a new home and if any of your readers live in the New York City area and are looking for a companion, they should feel free to email me at [email protected] to discuss meeting Richie and seeing if they’d be friends. For the right owner, I’d be willing to help with the cost of caring for Richie.
__
Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.

    Dog looks all parts confused. Part “I’m going to kick your ass” (top pic), “Meh” (mid pic), “Love me, dammit” (bottom pic). Typical dog.

    In other news, Texas says “Get the fuck off my property, uh…unless you’re here to clean it or mow it. Seriously, deport all illegals! Except my pool boy! WTF…

    Awww. He is adorable. I already have a formerly neglected/abused shelter dog so that rules me out.

    Is this a Dog Blegs Man story?

    He is adorable and hopefully you find a new home for him soon. If Richie is jealous now, a new baby is only going to add to his confusion.

    @Punchy:

    This was my favorite part:

    As Texas state Rep. Aaron Pena, also a Republican, told CNN, without the exemption, “a large segment of the Texas population” would wind up in prison if the bill became law.

    Gosh, do you think that the fact that people continue to hire illegal workers is the reason illegal workers keep coming here? Nah, couldn’t be.

    He’s perfect. If I didn’t live in the hinterlands of MN, I’d be there to pick him up and let him have a prime rib for dinner.

    How anyone can mistreat a dog is beyond me.

    If you haven’t spoken with a dog behavior specialist, it might be helpful to contact one before you part with Richie.

    It could be that Richie simply needs someone to help him with yet another situation that is causing him fear, confusion and pain.

    Oh, how I wish I could do something here in my tiny NYC apt, shared with 2 shelter cats. I’m away too much as it is, but I will make inquiries and send the email addi to anyone who can make a fresh start with this adorable little guy :(

    William, if you haven’t tried a dog trainer and would like to, I know two very good ones (I live in NYC). If you are interested I could get you their info (maybe Anne Laurie would play email post person for us)?
