Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In after Baud. Damn.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Everybody saw this coming.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Republicans in disarray!

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

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

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Cat Rescue Bleg — Brooklyn Work Party

From commentor Caterina:

Our 50+ cat colony in the Brooklyn Navy Yard mostly survived the storm, but many of their feeding stations were destroyed, and we lost a fair amount of stored food. We are afraid some of the missing cats were poisoned by toxic spills, but we are hopeful they will reappear soon. It’s been a tough year for the colony — we’ve trapped, neutered and returned at least 15 kittens produced by intact cats that slipped into the population. Due to raccoon activity we can only feed a day’s worth of food at a time — that means visiting each of the 8 feeding stations every day.

One of our primary caretakers is out of commission because her family lost their home in Staten Island to flooding. Another rescuer in Staten Island who helps us with holding and post-surgery recovery has extensive damage and has evacuated. For the last three years we’ve purchased all the food and supplies for the colony ourselves, with occasional donations from friends. We’re asking for donations now to replace our feeders, restock food, build some new feeding platforms and shelters and to set up a nonprofit (Waterfront Cats) so that we can solicit corporate donations and grants in the future.

We’re inviting NYC cat lovers to join us this Saturday at the Navy Yard for a post-Sandy clean up. Wear warm sturdy clothes and work boots or waders. We can provide transportation by car for a few volunteers each from Manhattan, Brooklyn and possibly Queens.

E-mail Suprina at Suprina11 (at) verizon.net or Caterina at cisobe (at) bsls.org

I’ve got a snail-mail address for Suprina, and I’ve asked Caterina for a PayPal address for donations. Will re-post with further information tomorrow, but I wanted to give anyone in the area a chance to plan for Saturday…

    Caterina:

    As I’ve said before, there’s a special place somewhere, if nowhere other than my heart, for people who help feral kittehs.

    Thanks.

    Feel so sorry for the the cats and kittens. People knew the storm would be over in a day, the cats must have thought it was the wrath from hell.

    Bless your hearts. I will contribute (only a tiny bit, I’m afraid) once a PayPal address is available. Poor little kitties.

    My colony is mostly back but there are a couple of cats missing, including the oldest.

    @ADS: I’m sorry to hear about the missing cats. Don’t give up hope- we’ve had cats go missing for as long as a year and then mysteriously turn up none the worse for wear.

    I too will contribute once a PayPal address is available, but you also might want to contact Alley Cat Allies. They work with feral colonies and trap/neuter/release programs and may be able to help.

    Why feed feral cats but not feral raccoons?

    @PJ: We save scraps to feed the raccoons and give them dry cat food at times. They prevent us from using dry food dispensers because they not only eat all the food immediately, but they also chew up the dispensers! Since they are more omnivorous than cats, raccoons have many more food sources- they don’t need a diet as high in protein.

    Anne – when you get a PayPal address, will you repost it on the front page? I would be happy to contribute from North Carolina, but would appreciate seeing the reminder on the front page. Thanks!

    Yes, I’m planning on front-paging this tomorrow with the PayPal address, thanks!

    I don’t have money but I can send cat food, if that helps. However, it will take a few days to arrive.
