Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

You cannot shame the shameless.

This fight is for everything.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

He really is that stupid.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Consistently wrong since 2002

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

What a Slut

These bitches are shameless:

SLUT

I have the most pampered animals on the planet, and as soon as anyone comes for a visit, they throw themselves at my guests. In fairness, it is working, because I caught Shawn giving them treats IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, so maybe they are smarter than I think.

    Your pets are the best JC, obviously the sign of a good owner.

    Of course they’re smarter than you think.
    They’ve got you trained to feed and house them, with frequent petting and belly rubs as an added bonus.

    Then again, I subscribe to the old saw of the more I learn about people, the more I love my dog.
    I guess I’m well trained too.

    So, Los Angeles area folks — GTG on Saturday evening? Story Tavern in Burbank, or does someone have a better idea?

    John, how do you think Shawn is going to fit into our BFF (Brothers Fuckhead & Fathead) thing? I’m already feeling pushed aside a little and maybe a little resentful.

    To be fair, Lilly was alluring enough to catch your attention at the shelter when you went looking for a cat companion for Tunch, and Rosie literally jumped into your car when you met her running down the highway. So you should’ve known they were, to use the polite term, people-focused.

    Tuesday night, our ‘new’ cat — Red Rocket, who came to live with us last April — kept the whole household up all night with what turned out to be a ‘mild’ urinary blockage. (Thank Goddess the 24-hour emergency clinic is only a mile away, also we only had to spend $600, so far, instead of the projected $1200.) He’s being unusually affectionate now, which is good, because it means we can get the muscle-relaxant capsules and syringes of painkiller down his throat without too much stress. But the uproar / change in routine means that rescue alpha-bitch Gloria is taking out her fears on the other two, somewhat smaller male dogs. The drawbacks of acquiring one’s animal companions from the equivalent of the Dings & Dents aisle…

    Maybe Rosie hypnotized your guest with her psychic (or psycho?) eyes?

    @mellowjohn: That sounds good, Just be sure to exercise some due diligence before you come back. Some owners get it into their heads that it would be a good idea to shave your ass. It’s been known to happen.

    @raven: Re feeding dogs vegetables. I don’t where they got the idea that any food from me was a treat but the greyhounds wouldn’t eat broccoli that others tried to give them, but if I had broccoli pieces in my hand they would sit and wait for me to give them the broccoli.

    @Anne Laurie: Sorry to hear about your poor kitteh – also about the poor furbutts subject to Alpha Bitch’s moods.

    On a happier note (I hope), I left a thank-you for you in the last thread. Well, after I got the requisite bitching out of the way, of course.

    Also, if you want to see the latest on our most recent Dents-N-Dings move-in-and-take-over-type acquisition, here and here.

    A Federal Judge in Virginia has ruled that Virgina’s laws against Same Sex Marriage are unconstitutional
    And like his bretheren in Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Utah, he cited Justice Scalia’s dissent in Windsor v US. Good stuff that.

    We adopted a new young doggie from the shelter 2 weeks ago after having lost one of our beloved old doggies in November. Days later, we found out our other old beautiful doggie (who we thought was just depressed over the passing of her brother) is suffering from multiple serious problems including diabetes and an as yet undiagnosed spine issue.

    So the last two days in the middle of this fucking shit weather have been a 24/7 ordeal of trying to coordinate insulin injections and constant drinking/peeing of Elder Doggie with manic toddleresque “why won’t she PLAY with me” hysteria of Younger Doggie.

    Tired as shit, I iz it.
