Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

T R E 4 5 O N

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Books are my comfort food!

People are weird.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Chicago Area Dog Bleg

From commentor Moses2317 (aka Winning Progressive), whose dog Bard was featured here on February 14:

Saturday evening my wife and I found a stray dog in the street that didn’t have any tags. We took her in, and have tried to find her owner (posted signs in our neighborhoods, comments on various Facebook pages for local dog groups, visiting the local dog parks, etc.) to no avail. The dog has a microchip, but no one had registered it and the microchip company can only trace it back to a breeder that has gone out of business.
__
We can only keep the dog for another day or two, due to the fact that we have our own dog, are taking care of a father with dementia, and are going out of town in a couple of days. So, we are looking for a good home for her somewhere in Chicago or the suburbs.
__
The dog appears to be sweet and friendly. She’s about 20 pounds and house trained. She appears to be well taken care of, well groomed. On walks she has been friendly with babies, toddlers, men, women, and other dogs. She has also been friendly with our own dog in our own apartment.
__
If people are interested in taking this dog in, they can e-mail me at [email protected]. We would like a reference so we can make sure we would be giving her to a good home.

    It always strikes me as odd that a dog that appears well taken care of and is happy could have owners that can’t be found.

    Thanks, Anne, for posting this. I’ll let folks know when/if we find a good home for the dog.

    @Moses2317: Although I know a dog lover in the Chicago area, I know that he won’t be able to even think about adoption for three or four weeks. Actually I’m not sure he wants another one. Please keep us informed and if you haven’t found a home, I’ll mention it.

    Aw. She looks so sad and cute. Is she a puggle? You mentioned a breeder, so maybe if she’s some sort of breed you can highlight that and get more interest.

    Also, there may be some sort of puggle rescue scene – she looks to be very adoptable. I’m in the big scary dog rescue scene myself, so I don’t have any immediate recommendations, but can poke around a bit if you like.

    Could be that the breeder registered it and the new owners didn’t update it, but I’ve gotten three cats chipped at two different vets, and I was told each time I had to get online and register the number with the company. It’s a simple task, sure, but am I the only one that finds it ridiculous that the registration is not done by the vet on the spot? They have internets there too after all.
