Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Petty moves from a petty man.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

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

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

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

This post is in: ,

Commentor Johannes passes on another plea for help:

Two weeks ago I found this lovely, under a year old, male wondering the streets of 7th ave and 126th. He was hiding under a parked car. I am shocked he did not get hit by a car.

He is one of the most friendly cats I’ve ever held — he needs a home, loves other cats, and would probably do fine with a dog too.

Every time his cage is opened he reaches out for your shoulder to hug!

Please help me find him a good home.

    With one small change this is the same as the opening of Yutsano’s memoirs:

    Oooh! I like my guys orange and striped! What a lovely fellow!

    I live deep in flyover country and so am not a candidate. Good luck.

    oh mah gaw. That is a cuddlemonster of huge, adorable proportions. If I was still in Manhattan, I’d make my little family a 3 furball household. Wish I knew people who loved pets in Crooklyn. but you know what, some of the younger family is more pro-pet than the aunties. I’ll send the info along.

    I’m too far south and more importantly, already have 5 cats and 2 dogs (all rescues) so I can’t help but I wanted to provide an endorsement…super-sized orange male kittehs are the best! I adopted one who ran out in front of my car three years ago this summer and have never regretted it. Super affectionate and very well behaved – well, other than really having no use for any other human in this house other than me. Someone please give this fine boy a home.

    OK, hold on a second. People are saying the color of the frickin cat determines it’s disposition? Come on now.

    @BGinCHI: I’m out running around with Mom so I can’t do a proper correction yet, but as soon as I’m home I’ll do so. You’re off by one word good sir.

    Oh and KITTEH!!

    A couple of days ago, I got in a cab and found a pair of tabbies just chillin’ it in the back seat. One of them was orange just like the one in the picture. Never before have I spent a cab ride giving skritches to kittehs. I highly recommend the experience.

    Once upon a time, I described a friend’s cat as “cat-colored.” They still make fun of me for it to this day. But seriously, there’s like that one color that is not found in nature other than on cats!

    @Raven: No, really — even my vet comments on it and my most recent orange tabby rescue is the sweetest thing. And a girl no less, orange tabby girls are quite rare.

    I’m out in AZ with 3 cats of my own or he would be mine.

    Oh man, he looks so much like my Honker who died last year. I wish I was closer to NY.

    Most New York City cabs come with kittens now. It’s all part of the ongoing quality of life campaign.

    sorry to be OT: this headline over at Yahoo made me laugh…

    @Piratedan: These are the Yahoo headlines below that one:

    Judge people by their shoes? New study says yes

    I want to see that shark-head guy

    Adorable! The cat is cute too. Wish I could take either but sadly no room and I doubt the kitteh would like a 4-5 hour trip on bolt bus to DC.

    Learned today that the pit bull that attacked my dad on Sunday was apparently on the lam already. King county wanted to pick the dog up after he attacked somebody in Kent, but he was missing. When dad’s police report was filed the animal control officers noticed the owner’s name was the same, so this is either the missing dog from Kent or a second pit bull that likes to attack people owned by the same guy.

    Dad’s arm stopped finally bleeding yesterday, but his fingers/hand are still massively swollen and black and blue. Doc say no permanent damage, just keep it wrapped and immobilized until it’s better.

    @Culture of Truth: That is SO much better than celebrity voices telling you to make sure you have all your stuff when you get out.

    @Yutsano: At first I thought you said, “There are no more juicy primates.” I blame BG.

    Yet another attempt to post my comment

    Off topic:
    I have just come across a curious product, of which its makers say:

    In addition to being a shoe polish for leather, our Edible Shoe Cream is also a delicious ‘all-in-one’ beauty product that can be used as a lip balm, skin moisturizer, hair conditioner, massage oil and cooking oil. You can even spread it on your toast for a nutritious snack.

    Mmm, shoe polish.

    ETA: Alas, FYWP took exception to the URL, so no link.

    shortstop

    @Amir Khalid: My dog a) is obsessed with shoes (although she courteously demurs from chewing them) and b) wants to lick any human skin that has had moisturizer or lip balm applied to it. I suspect she was on the development team for this product when I wasn’t looking.

    If anyone can help with transporting Sir Feline of Brooklyn to me, I’m all for him.

    @Jacquelyn:

    People on Balloon Juice contributing to any form of transport – plane or auto – is a very likely if you work out with poster and Anne Laurie that you are qualified and serious. I’m certainly in for contributing to transportation underwriting. Like you rent a car, you drive up to Brooklyn, you drive back.

    @merrinc:
    I completely agree! I had a gian orange striped boy and he adored me. He didn’t starve the rest of the family, but he was definately MY KITTEH! Miss him so much, he’s been gone for almost 5 years. I had the joy of knowing him for 15 years before he had to go so it was worth it. This boy in the pic could be his double at that age. He got a LOT bigger over time. GD, I miss my Max.

    I’m in the Chicago metro area, not exactly around the corner from Brooklyn…and yes, I’m serious about the cat. I sent my contact info to Anne already. Thanks.

    Giant, orange, male kitties are the best! I was heartbroken when my Jake died several years ago. We recently rescued an orange male kitten, and judging from how leggy he’s getting, I think we may have another big boy. His name is Cheddar and he is already a doll.

    Hope that gorgeous boy finds a home!

    Please keep me in the loop about the big boy’s possible trip to Chicago. Spend most of my spare money feeding strays and donating to cat rescues, so I would be in.

    @Raven:

    It’s true, cats have lots of other genetic features that are linked to their color.

    White cats with blue eyes are deaf.

    Orange cats are luv kittys.

    @ADS: Harley the cat (who we may be renaming BJ – opinions?) is on his way to his new home. One quick stop at the veterinarian’s, then off to meet his new roommates and bask in some warm sunbeams.
