Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

In my day, never was longer.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

No Justins, No Peace

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Longtime commenter Unabogie passes on this picture of his best buddy Fergus, who passed on after a glorious 20 years, and, in fact, Fergus was around during the Clinton era and was a DD (Democratic Dog) while I was still an asshole Republican:

Fergus

You can just tell a good doggie when you see one, can’t you? Happy tails Trails, Fergus!

    Speaking as a long-time lurker, THIS is why I love this site and the people on it. A better bunch of mensches you couldn’t find. Between the smart and wise (asses, yes totally, but in a good way) and the regard/love/respect for our fur/feather critters, I come here for the humanity who allow me to get a glimpse into people with heart and soul. Carry on… {goes back into lurk-mode}

    Fergus, I will not say Rest In Peace. Rather, I will say Run In Pleasure. I know you gave enormous joy during your earth years, and I know you have left a huge empty hole in Unabogie’s heart. What a wonder, to give so much love and be loved so much in return. Run, Race … and then, when you’re ready, Rest a bit.

    We who choose to surround ourselves
    with lives even more temporary than our
    own, live within a fragile circle;
    easily and often breached.
    Unable to accept its awful gaps,
    we would still live no other way.
    We cherish memory as the only
    certain immortality, never fully
    understanding the necessary plan.

    Aw, you guys have got me crying all over again. Fergus was not just a good doggie. He was a good person. He was an instant friend to all people, cats, and anyone else he met. He survived many a brush with death to make it to that ripe old age. And in the end, we had a compassionate vet come to the house and we let him go peacefully in our arms.

    Ok, quick and stupid story and I won’t bore you guys anymore. When we first rescued him (because the best dogs are always rescues, right?) we took him in to a training class. Total newbies. And Fergus was just instantly great at it. So part of the class was “Doggie Tic Tac Toe” wherein you put your dog in a sit, and as long as he doesn’t stand up you keep your square. The winning team won some dog treats. Fergus was perfect. He wouldn’t budge and would just sit there waiting for the release. By the next class, everyone…I mean EVERYONE came up to us and wanted him on their team. He was like Lebron James and Kobe all rolled up into a dog born to play Tic Tac Toe. He done made us proud.

    And idiots that we were, we thought we were awesome dog trainers. Now we know better. He was just the world’s best dog.

    Thanks, guys.

    @SectionH:

    Ok, last one then!

    He doesn’t look it in the picture, but he was an amazing leaper. He was getting out of the backyard somehow, although we had a fence and couldn’t find any holes. We’d just come home to find him waiting on the front porch, often strangely smelling of pancakes.

    So we decided to leave the house and drive around the block and set up a sting operation. We left, came back, and waited until high up on the gate, in a space that was literally the width of a two by four, was his little snout. This is like six feet high, just above where the latch was. And then came his head. Then the shoulders. Then the hips. Then that little 15 pound dog squeezed his whole body through and landed happily to freedom!

    And there we were. The fuzz. So he runs up, wagging his tail like nothing was going on. “Hey guys, where are we going?”

    I was discussing with a class, just this week past, Argos, Odysseus’ dog, who waits out the twenty years until his master’s return — ten years of war, ten years of wandering — and dies a happy dog when he finally sees his master again, (Odyssey 17) None of us could recall ever meeting a dog that old.

    That’s a very good run of years.

    Re: Black Friday. I think if retailers who advertise on TV were to run spots that say “We respect and honor our employees. We will not require them to work on Thanksgiving nor on Friday. They deserve to have time with their families. We will open on Saturday as usual” I think they’d get a lot of credibility. When that happens, Black Friday and unholy Thanksgiving hours would attain an air of disrespect that that they so richly deserve. I will never enter a store on Thursday or Friday and I think those stores who advertise deserve ridicule and censure. They are not people friendly.

    @Unabogie:

    So sorry for your loss! We lost two of the best farm dogs – Clyde didn’t come back from a late nite prowl – he was a big bossy black longhair about 18, and Boomer we took to Wendy’s for a cheesburger, and then a visit to his buddies at the vet.

    Boomer weighed in about 90 lbs, brown with a pink nose, deep bark, scared sneak theives right back into their crummy PU trucks. In about 6 weeks. I think of them running across the ridge in the big woods!

    I would have voted for Furgus [sic, hahah!] for any offfice against any Republican you can imagine, even my wingnut brother. So that makes him a Yellowdog Democrat!

    Remembering the good years is the best, think of the running together, how much Furgus appreciated a bite of something dripping juice almost too hot to snarf, how he showed his appreciation. They really are better than most people!

    And rescue another, real soon, that helps so much. We have two labs now, a white/mix and a honey colored mix, and they wrestle and do doggie tai chi with the nieghbor dogs, and go out at 4 am to sniff around while I take a whiz… I love me some dogs!!

    So long, Furgus, keep chasing those squirrels!!! Good Boy!!!

    Sorry about the passing of Fergus. So good that you got to love him up for 20 years.

    Deepest sympathies. Fergus loved well and was well loved; may his memory be a blessing.

    So sorry about your loss. Fergus looks and sounds like a fine friend and companion. Twenty years is a long, long time to have a pet and to enjoy his love. It makes it all that much harder when it ends. God speed to Fergus and all the other fine pets we’ve lost this year.

    I’m sitting here on my bed with AliceObama sound asleep with her body scrunched up against the computer. She’s a 7 year old rescue tabby and her brother, RobinObama, is a 4 year old rescue tuxie. They’ve loved each other since they were first introduced three years ago. They are two of the things that keep my heart going.

    So I understand well your love and appreciation for Fergus. Do you think you’ll get another dog someday?

    @phoebes-in-santa fe:

    Not only some day, but we were willing to head out today to go visit some puppy inmates. I think we’ll find our other dog, Maxwell, a new pal very soon.

    And always, always a rescue.

    @Mary G: Okay, one quick story: Fergus used to get along very well with my cats when they were kittens. They would play this game I like to call “I bet I can grab your foot before you claw my face”. They would play this for hours, he’d sit there and bark in my cat’s face, dog breath and all, and they looked very happy.

    @Unabogie: I’m so sorry about Fergus. I lost my beautiful golden retriever blend Isabel in August. She was in July and October in the calendar. In October she was wearing a pumpkin hat. Twenty years is wonderful. I’m sure he had a great life because he had you and Mrs. Unabogie.

    Grieve not,
    but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you… 
    I loved you so… 
    twas heaven here with you.

    @seaboogie: You probably won’t see this because I am so late to this thread, but since I was fortunate to get to know you when Isabel died and your comments and empathy helped to soothe my broken heart, I wanted to tell you about Martha. Martha is a beautiful red golden I adopted on Veteran’s Day. Martha is an older girl who’s family moved and just left her behind to fend for herself. She has had, from what I can tell so far, a very hard life. It’s my goal to make her as happy as I can for the rest of her life. So far, so good. I can’t pet and hug her enough as far as Martha is concerned, and I can’t pet and hug her enough, as far as I’m concerned, so we are a good match.

    This thread is probably dead by now, but for a postscript…

    We found a rescue, long legged Spaniel something or other, and took her home. We named her “Amelia Pond”. Yep, we’re nerds.
