Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

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

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

The lights are all blinking red.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

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

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Silicon Valley Pet Bleg

Just fished this out of my email’s spam filter, from commentor Faisal:

This morning I got mail from a contact in California (Silicon Valley area), about a woman, Olga, who ran into and was followed home by the dog in the enclosed picture.
__
Olga’s reaching out for help because she can’t keep the dog (which wasn’t tagged), and the shelter is running low on space. Olga thinks the dog is some sort of pomeranian mix, “although much bigger than a pomeranian or a chihuahua.” He was a little scared, but friendly, “definitely lived in a house, knows how to climb steps, and is familiar with being on a leash.” She thinks he’s housebroken, but doesn’t know if he knows commands. He did know not to pick fights with a great dane, or a cat.
__
I was hoping someone could post this to Balloon Juice, in case any SF Bay Area readers would consider adopting. If so, they should give Olga a call…

Anybody who’s got any suggestions, leave a comment, or email me at [email protected] (click on my name near the top of the right-hand column) and I’ll pass on Olga’s phone number, okay?

    Oh, what a little sweetie! I hope someone can help out, or that he finds his way back to his owners.

    It kills me to be falling in besottedness with this sweetie. I’m not even a Dog Person, f’heaven’s sake!

    Honestly, if I weren’t on the other side of the country, I’d think seriously about rearranging my entire life.

    My 14 yr old 40lb cocker is a handful already or I’d sure think about it. Don’t know anyone else who is looking but I’ll ask around.

    OT–decent aftershock just now. During a tornado watch. I eagerly await the TV preachers telling us that God is punishing us, but I suspect that only applies to cities full of poor black people.

    @soonergrunt: If God is punishing Oklahoma, it’s not for what the preachers think it is. It’s probably more along the lines of what they are contributing to.

    @piratedan: I sorta have a soft spot for Coburn, ever since he defended Nany Pelosi back in one of his 2009 town hall meetings with his consitutents. Called her a nice lady, although, of course she was one of those “libruls”. He was one of the few to defend his fellow Democratic legislators during those oh so raucous days of the nascent tea partiers.

    Joe Frazier has died.

    @lamh35: That was fast, wasn’t it. His illness was just made public a short couple of days ago. My husband was a fan of his boxing.

    @dww44: yeah, I believe they said a month give or take. He’s been in hospice care I read for longer than a minute.

    Yeah, damn too fast.

    @lamh35: When he went to hospice I knew the end was coming soon. My grandmother was in hospice care for less than a week before she passed.

    The aftershock from earlier was a 4.7. Same center as the bigger one Saturday night.

    @soonergrunt: Is there much talk in your area about the possible role of hydro-fracking in causing the quakes?

    I hope someone has had the sense to scan him for a chip.

    From Olga, the shelter scanned for and did not find a chip.

    Hey, you, reader — you know someone in Northern California — don’t they have a need for a puppy in their life?

  24. 24.

    soonergrunt

    November 8, 2011 at 8:12 am

    @sharl: No, there isn’t. And while fracking almost certainly does contaminate the aquifers near which it is used, there is no evidence at all that it contributes to tectonic instability in any way.

    Mr. Fox (doesn’t he look like a smiling little fox?) is still with the shelter. I’m desperately looking for a home for him. He should be good with dogs since he fell in love with my Dane and he did not pay any attention to my Bengal cat who is almost his size. He was very sweet and loving after he realized that I’m not a threat. Please help the little guy to find a forever home. He is about 2-3 years old and seems to be in a good health.

    I can’t believe I’m doing this, but Olga, is he fixed and how much does he weigh? Any more details on behavior, especially with your cat? Did he bark/yip much? My husband and I swore (seriously, in our wedding vows) never to have a small, yappy dog, but as long as he’s only one of those two things …

    @Comrade Colette Collaboratrice: I suggested Olga chime in here but I don’t think she reads this regularly. Maybe Anne Laurie can put you in touch.
