Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Come on, man.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

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

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

So very ready.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

The revolution will be supervised.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Cat Rescue Bleg — Maryland

From commentor Perfect Tommy:

I found a young calico living in my garage. She was dirty and thin but otherwise in good health and very friendly. Vet says she is negative for FeLV and not pregnant. They found that she had previously been spayed. She is spending the night at North Laurel Animal Hospital to be bathed and have some ticks and ear mites removed.

I have a high-prey-drive greyhound and cannot bring her into the house. I’ve contacted the no-kills in the area and no one has room.

When we pick her up, she will be up to date on all routine shots and tests. We bought a cat carrier yesterday, so we are willing to transport her. She is in North Laurel Maryland, in southernmost Howard County.

The techs at the vet office have named her Samantha….

Anybody want a cat? : )

If you have a lead for a home for Samantha — even a no-kill shelter or foster home that could hold her — leave a comment, or send me an email (click on my name in the right-hand column) and I’ll put you in touch with Tommy.

    KITTEH!!

    Hopefully she has shelter from the storm.

    She looks an awful lot like my cat who died last winter and I’d offer to take her if I didn’t live on the other side of the country from you. Oregon to Maryland’s just too far to drive.

    So good on you to take care of her. I hope Samantha finds a home. I’m full up with my two cats and I’m way over here in Oregon like Delia.

    It breaks my heart when I see these kitties. All three of ours are shelter cats, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

    I live just over the bay bridge and may be able to take her. How old, do you think? Email me Lisa (at) practicallyintuitive.com and we can chat!

    Tweeted and Facebook’d before I saw Mystical chick’s post. Hoping for the best no matter what.

    @Mystical chick: Of course we’ll need updates on how this progresses.

    The BJ community rocks. It cannot be said enough.

    If you were in Texas, that cat would be mine in a heartbeat.

    I have a huge soft spot for calicoes. Our Benevolent Feline Lady of the Manor is a gorgeous calico.

    That’s not a calico. She’s a torby–a combination of tortishell and tabby. The half-orange gene usually makes them complete little princesses.

    She looks like a sweetie. Thanks for rescuing her!

    Awwww, Samantha is such a pretty kitty – love her contented expression in the second photo (and that sweet li’l white paw too!)…I hope it works out that Mystical Chick can take her in!

    Hopefully everything works out with Mystical Chick. If not, please try Charles County Human Society. I adopted our boxer from there and I’m sure they could take her in.

    Samantha looks perfectly happy right where she is, actually…

    Mystical Chick is still undecided. With the impending storm, I am boarding her at the vet’s office until Thursday. After that I will have to release her, if I can’t find her a new home. We are beside ourselves over that option ….

    @Perfect Tommy: Maybe the vet can keep her on for a while; my vet’s office has a resident cat who has lived there for most of his life, and he’s an old guy. Wishing Samantha the best possible outcome!

    Sweet looking girl.

    Major, major liking for torties and calicos in our home. Our six-year-in-residence cat has informed us that the new calico has rendered us full-up, if not oversubscribed, on felines.

    Mystical Chick

    October 28, 2012 at 12:24 pm

    I would love to take her – just have to double-check with the hubs. If I find out she doesn’t get along with our current cat Sophia, I will take responsibility for finding her a good home. Tommy, will be back to you in a bit. Most likely, yes.

    I could also consider taking her, but I live in a pretty small space and she will have to stay in, so an outdoor cat used to roaming may not enjoy that at all. If nothing else comes up feel free to contact me though.

    @Rob in DC: Thanks Rob, I’ll keep you in mind if Mystical Chick is unable to take her. She comes with a bed, a carrier and food : )
