Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

Republicans don’t trust women.

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

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

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Come on, man.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Cole is on a roll !

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Also Too, Olympic Eating

Steve was apparently pissed with Rosie and Lily being the only athletes in the house, and really upped his game during dinner:

olympiceating

That was actually my fault because I was talking on the phone while feeding him and put his bowl on the wrong spot, and there wasn’t room for him and the bowl.

    It’s okay to make the cat put a little effort in to getting his food, in my opinion.

    @Corner Stone: Heh Le Guy and I were watching the two Canadian games (Japanese and Russian) live over the weekend and yeah, the women’s teams are all lovely, a mix of hawt soccer moms and fresh teenagers.

    Meanwhile, the men’s teams tend more to the typically middle-aged look. But all curlers are pretty damn graceful and flexible, no matter their body type, although I really despair of the wear and tear on their knees.

    @Corner Stone:

    Why do I have to be confronted by the gays with all the lucrative endorsement deals for being nothing more than gay?

    Nothing more than being gay? You do know, right now, Sam is the first high level D1 player that’s ever come out, right? Nod your head; very good. You also know he’s the first NFL draft pick that is out, right? Nod again; ok, good, your Pavlovian response appears adequate. So, this shit about getting deals for nothing but being gay is a load of crap, isn’t it?

    Actually, you know what other player turned out to be a stiff? Let me tell you, his name has come up recently: TTim Tebow. You think he is doing OK? Nod your head again; GOOD BOY. Now, you can say Tebow got 1st Round money and Sam will get who knows what round money, and you’d be right, but I don’t think rookie contracts are massively different between the 1st and the 3rd rounds (that’s why they all want to get to that second contract, which I don’t think Tebow ever got and we’re back to him being a stiff and doing fine).

    Idiot.

    @The Dangerman: Why do you keep lying about what you have repeatedly said here?
    You said Sam has endorsements, but you can’t link to any. You said he’d be fine if he never played a down, was a stiff, and would not need to find a normal job. Your proof of this is the example of Tebow.
    There is zero basis of comparison for Tebow, who as a QB won a national championship, the Heisman, was drafted in the 1st round and is straight vs Michael Sam. Tebow started several games, won a playoff game and is now employed as a commentator for the SEC TV channel.
    Your argument is that Michael Sam is somehow comparable to Tim Tebow because some people don’t like Tim Tebow?
    Please. Before you open your stupid fucking mouth again, first tell us what endorsement deal Michael Sam has actually signed. That is your statement, not mine. That he has signed endorsements. When I called you on it you crawfished. Point to one. Prove one.
    You’re just a lying bigot. Either prove it up or shut the fuck up you fucking piece of shit.

    Lying idiot.

    crawfish, per the urban dictionary

    To try and take back what you just said. In reference to the way a crawfish swims/walks — backwards.

    this is a most informative blog

    Cole, if you truly love this cat as much as you claim, then go look at the photos that you took of Steve when he first moved in and then look at this one. You are killing him with food and obesity. That is NOT love. That is pure, unadulterated selfishness on your part.

    Take what you have learned about your buddy this week on helping him find his health with controlling his diabetes and then examine what exactly you are doing to the animals under YOUR care and YOUR food control.

    While you are doing all your research on human diet and what a horror diabetes is, why don’t you take the moment to do the same research on what you are doing to Steve by making him obese and unhealthy.

    I am not going to let up on this because this is really, really pissing me off. If your vet is not telling you what you are doing to your animals then he is either a horrible vet or he knows that you are an owner who won’t listen to what he is saying and he’s given up on you taking proper care of your animals.

    Fuck you Cole until you learn to actually love this cat in a true way.

    Cole, you are a good person, and what you are doing to help your friend is truly wonderful. Here’s the best link I could find about the harm we can do to our pets by allowing them to be overweight. (and then supply the link)

    Sometimes less is more, and timing is everything. Oh, and not being a total dick helps, too.
