Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

The words do not have to be perfect.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

T R E 4 5 O N

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Screw it. I would start drinking if it was time yet, but it’s not, so here is a pic of the dog.

Bonus pic! Meet Nala. Nala is an intemperate, noisy little pain in the ass and Max has the good sense to keep twenty feet away whenever she has the preciousss her blue ball. But she is pretty cute, so I took some pics of her. With a long lens. Enjoy.

    I feel my blood pressure lowering already. Tonight I may go over to the home of some friends who are adopting cats from the local animal shelter. Last Friday, Shadow, their cat of twenty years died leaving them catless. They’ve had at least one cat in the household since 1986 so that situation cannot stand. I’d take pictures for the blog, but I don’t have the slightest idea how to get them onto the intertrons.

    Tim F., Do you find it interesting that when you started blogging here you were attacked by people from the right for your views, you’ve maintained those views, and are now being assailed again by individuals here?

    While I support our gay barbarian overlords, I’m tired of the motherfucking glitterbombs. Can we make an example of Johnny Marbles so that everyone else will be deterred?

    @David Hunt:

    pictures for the internet:

    Take picture[s] with a digital camera. Post it to Flickr [easy to establish an account if you aren’t registered]. Click on the desired photo. Copy the url. Paste that url inside of a comment on BJ.

    Voila!

    I get an additional greyhound today for the next 3 days. Just a absolute gem of a dog. Quiet, calm, yet playful with our greys. And mezmorized by our pet rats.

    For some reason this post (and the pictures) remind me of the Dave Barry columns on Earnest and Zippy. The one that still makes me pee with laughter is:

    ZIPPY AND EARNEST GET OPERATED ON

    Of course in Zippy’s case, “full-grown” means “the size of a Hostess Sno-Ball, yet somehow less impressive.” But in his own mind, Zippy was a major stud muffin, a hunk of burnin’ love, a small-caliber but high-velocity Projectile of Passion fired from the Saturday Night Special of Sex. And his target was: Earnest.

    Earnest is a female dog, but she was not the ideal choice for Zippy, because all of her remotely suspicious organs had been surgically removed several years ago. Since that time she has not appeared to be even dimly aware of sex, or much of anything else. Her lone hobby, besides eating, is barking violently at nothing. Also she is quite large; when she’s standing up, Zippy can run directly under her with an easy six inches of clearance. So at first we were highly amused when he started putting The Moves on her. It was like watching Tommy Tadpole hit on the Queen Mary.
