Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

People are weird.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

In my day, never was longer.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

All hail the time of the bunny!

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Stand up, dammit!

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

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

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

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

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

    The war in Afghanistan keeps claiming or nearly claiming promising young lives.

    This young man is the son-in-law of my brother’s high school buddy:

    Open Thread Kittehs.

    This is not the first time Gracie decided to jump in the fridge.

    Also, Bella.

    Howzabout that mocking of sports in general in the comic? Other people enjoy activities that I do not! Ha ha! Aren’t they silly? If they weren’t such sheep they would enjoy something so cool that they;ve never heard of it.

    You can bet the strip searching will be a useful tactic against Occupy and all other protesters. Personally I prefer it to pepper spray in the face. Hopefully there will be video cameras when they strip search the old people who protest the Schools of the Americas every year. It might motivate the country the way fire hoses once did.

    @khead:

    Wonderful pix! Next time I want to see Gracie brooding on a nest of eggs.

    Bella is lovely, too.

    @MikeJ: Fascinating, that the slur against sports fans is answered immediately, but the slur against the mentally disabled is not.

    Not that it matters what a dogshit bigot Naderite truther like Rall says about anything, though.

    Oh no. Not Ted Rall again. Most of us have pets that can draw better than Ted Rall.

    @middlewest:

    word, and thank you. WTF is wrong with antidepressants, Mr. Rall? Are they only for the weak or something?

    I hate all sports, but not as much as I hate Ted Rall.

    Government-mandated mandatory assplay?

    Where is the Supreme Court on this?

    Oh well. Tried to do something special this sunday night since I had the time. I cooked up a breaded pork chop with a little celeriac mash and a radish salad.

    Right now a front is rolling through and the weather service says we might have several inches of wet sticky snow by morning, though I suspect they’ll get the most up on the Arrowhead.

    It’s raining now, but the thunder I just heard gives me the hope of THIUNDERSNOW come midnight, when it’s expected to be cold enough to actually start sticking.

    Since I work nights, I imagine if we do get snow, it’ll be melted before I even wake up. Sounds like it might be perfect iceball snow, too!

    I find the idea that depressed people would somehow be motivated to riot if only we were off our meds fascinating. Because motivation and depression are words I don’t exactly associate with each other.

    Can we mock all sports? Including (especially) the Stupor Bowl?

    Ted Rall is awful. Does Laurie contribute anything to this blog aside from gardening tips and terrible cartoons?
