Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

The words do not have to be perfect.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

This fight is for everything.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Concerning this weekend’s Emergency Pet Bleg:

I want to thank everyone again for all the donations to help Penny. It has been a more than usual hectic weekend for animal rescue in our area. This has caused me to be behind in my personal thank you notes to ALL who took the time, had the compassion and caring and generosity to help Penny. I promise that I will be in touch with everyone within the next 48 hours via email.
__
As mentioned before, will give updates on results of her surgery and her recovery process with new pictures too when available.

With gratitude,
Evelyn

Evelyn adds “Also trying to figure out how to get a calendar together ASAP for 2012. Will keep you posted.”

    Good thing the rapid cancellation of the eponymous television show wasn’t an omen.

    Our tenant and next door neighbors have a giant, sweet old monster black dog who has just been diagnosed with a tumor on it’s spleen. They can’t afford the operation,and even if they could it wouldn’t help him much. They have asked if I can look after him at times they can’t be there because they don’t want him to die alone. dang

    @Raven (formerly stuckinred): How sad. There are times when I think it’s okay to let a dog die peacefully and without pain. If the dog is in pain, I do hope they will let the vet give it an injection.

    btw..did you get a x-ray?

    OT..I just turned on NewsHour so missed the beginning but I did hear a jerk say “did you know that the 99 percent earn $500,000 or less”? Yeah for 90 percent of those the average is $31,000 asshole.

    @JPL: They did get an xray and it confirmed the tumor. It’s touchy ground, I don’t want to give too much advice I will just respond when asked.

    October 17, 2011 at 6:36 pm

    @JPL: Oh, me. I went to the doctor and she and I agreed there is little to be done. It is incredibly ugly, the discoloration has spread all over the top and side of the foot but it really doesn’t hurt that much.I think I got really lucky, you know, like when I fractured my vertebra!

    I’m so glad. I would love another calendar.

    @Raven (formerly stuckinred): Yeah, dude. How’s YOUR foot? And, sorry to hear about the neighbor’s dog. Sigh.

    @asiangrrlMN: I’m squared away, I was able to swim by pushing off on the good wheel so it’ll just take a little time and I’ll be back in the ring! thx

    It’s a tough call when an elderly animal gets sick. Blessings on you for being with him.

    I listened to Howard Stern this morning and he couldn’t understand why the protesters he sees on the news at OWS do not articulate very well what they are there for. I wish he could have seen this guy.
