Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

The National Guard is not Batman.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

This really is a full service blog.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Bark louder, little dog.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

    Watched the dogs at the dog park today and watched a pit bull be pulled off of the neck of another dog. They were running a playing and all of a sudden the pit went for the other dog’s neck and hung on. The dog screamed and a guy with some courage stepped in and pulled the pit off. Pit bulls, the russian roulette of dog breeds.

    Steve’s eyes are amazingly expressive. He is a very special guy and beautiful, too.

    Iam always a little taken back by how much Steve resembles my rescue kitty Sulu Belle, a Turkish Angora Blue Spotted Tabby.

    Although their fur colours differ — Sulu’s is mostly medium to dark gray with an almost rose tinted beige undertone & her tummy is much much lighter as is the underside of her tail which she loves to “plume” or “pluminate” — Sulu’s and Steve’s facial markings and facial expressions are uncannily alike.

    And out of all the different cats that I have petted, I’d say Sulu’s fur is probably the silkiest. I only mention this because John has mentioned the same about Steve’s fur.

    Anyhow when this little kitty at only 5 or 6 weeks old came into my home she was so tiny that she fit in the palm of my hand. I did not know what to call her. Nearly a week had passed before she let me know that her name is Sulu … Sulu Belle.

    And yes Sulu Belle has truly blessed my heart & my home with her presence, companionship and energy. She is a true delight.

    Last but not least: even though I mostly ‘lurk’ I just wanted to add:

    From my heart to Yours,

    Have a Joy-filled Holiday y’all. Be well.

    He has those Maine Coon Cat soulful eyes going full blast.

    Our Maine Coon mix uses them on me while I was preparing breakfast a half hour ago to force me to share with him an early breakfast of shreds of steak from the piece of last night’s leftovers I was about to have with my fried eggs and toast.

    Here is a question. Is Steve sensitive to human interactions with each other? Our guy, Buckaroo, is the mediator / peacekeeper of the family. If we raise our voices in anger to each other, he always appears out of nowhere, gets in between us, and starts meowing loudly till we stop, and obey his command to be nice to each other.

    @patrick II: Having had to ‘pull’ a pit bull off my own dog’s throat twice in less than 5 minutes (because the female owner is an irresponsible pot growing dipshit) that is not a fun experience.
    Luckily we were in the water at the time and it was easy to push the dogs heads under water and the female pit let go. Ordinarily you can’t ‘pull’ a pit off another dog’s throat. They don’t let go. That’s why they are a real problem. I’d say that the attacked dog and it’s owner were damn lucky. I hope someone had the presence of mind to call the cops and make an official complaint.
    Some pits are fine dogs. Others pose a real and unexpected threat. Hard to know the difference.

    Love the paws on Steve – they’re like catcher’s mitts.

    On a related note, we have a Maine Coon what-used-to-be-feral that basically lives on our front porch. My wife doesn’t want another cat but this cat has become the most lovable cat I’ve ever seen. I may wear her down but I have to figure out how to get the cat tested for feline leukemia, get shots and such.

    Final note, a wonderful animal shelter, Animal Friends, is a couple of mile from my home. They are basically a no-kill but they had to euthanize 58 animals last year due to terminal illness so folks started yelling. Then last week they announced they euthanized a pit bull they had at the shelter for over a year. It was supposedly a great dog but after two attack incidents and despite training and a lot of patience, they said it was the dog and not the bred. I’m not sure of the background on all this but you should have read some of the hate posts. Worst part is that most of the mad ones were now not going to support Animal Friends.

    We have enough of a fight against American Royalty to help the 99% – I just wish we could agree on helping the animals a little bit to make us feel like we’re winning at something.

    Of course, Steve is delightful and divine, but I want to comment on how happy you (John) seem to be. I know you planned to make some changes and I hope that this is a result and not just my imagination.
    You do seem more at peace in your life. I hope that’s true and that it continues.

    John, you keep talking about getting another Maine Coon. I think you need to stop talking and ACT. You have two dogs; Lily and Rosy get along with each other just fine. Steve needs a buddy, too. Just bite the bullet and do it.You know you want to. Steve, BTW, is a gorgeous cat. I had one almost like him – with just a bit more white on his face. Love the Maine Coons. :) Give yourself and Steve a Merry Christmas and get him a buddy. I don’t think you’ll regret in the long run. :)
