Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

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

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

This Would Make Tunch Proud

Here is Steve, freshly brushed, resting on top of his five foot perch on his cat tree:

I think Tunch would consider him a worthy heir.

And really, click on the pic to see how awesome he is and just try to imagine how silky his hair is- he is one fine specimen.

    Whatever. You will hate the world in 15 minutes. Shouldn’t we all hate you for your moment of happiness? Do you even try to be consistent?

    I’d bet a million bucks that Tunch would have hated Steve on sight.

    @MoeLarryAndJesus: Sure, but only if he had to share the tuna that is his by right. Since he’s just metaphorical now, I think we can agree that he’d have no problems with his replacement.

    My 18 y.o. cat is deaf and also arthritic in her hindquarters now. Otherwise fine, except for recent incontinence while up in my big bed that I lift her up to rest upon and some longstanding neurological issues that make her head go “snap, crackle, pop” in a twitchy sort of way.

    Anyway, I got a waterproof matress cover from BBB and pee pads from the pet store to deal with the day to day issues. All has been well for several weeks now without incident. The current pee pad that she willingly sleeps on was getting a bit scruffy looking, so I tossed it and and let little Zoe sleep on the clean sheets. You know what happened. Laundry tomorrow. Sigh…..

    So cats “who seem happy, content, put together and seem to have figured it all out” elicit no negativity, it would seem.

    He is a beautiful cat. None of mine like to be brushed, and since they’re shorthairs I don’t push it.

    @John Cole: I’ll bet Steve’s cat hair is on *every* fabric-covered surface in your house. We had a female cat that closely resembled Steve, except much smaller, and she was a sweetly affectionate creature belonging to my older daughter, and would crawl up on her bed at night after she (daughter) went to sleep and lick my daughter’s hair for up to an hour before curling up to sleep next to her on the bed. Result: my then-middle school aged daughter would half the time need to wash her hair in the morning in order to not go to school with the hair on one side of her head plastered to her scalp with cat spittle like some cheap pommade. BTW: that cat shed prodigiously, no matter how often we brushed her. But she did have a really sweet personality.

    @seaboogie: You can get pee pads way cheaper in the incontinence section of discount stores. You can also use them under the box.

    I wish our cat would tolerate brushing, she’d look as nice as Steve (same color pattern, but Steve is fluffier and lots, lots bigger). I’ll show her this photo and see if she gets the hint.

    @cmorenc:

    Helps if you keep at him with the Furminator. MY cat, hates the Furminator. I was thinking about maybe having her shaved (not to the skin, but short). Any thoughts? She always looks like she has mange in the summer anyway with her hair coming out in chunks. She’s most beautiful in the winter. This winter, she’s been gorgeous.

    @sm*t cl*de: Yes, I said, “That’s no cat, that’s a Tribble! In the morning John will have 48 of them, all pregnant with still more Tribbles!”

    My cat-rescuing neighbor is in much the same predicament that Captain Kirk was in. The 5 kittens she rescued grew up wild. There are 4 females and a Tom. 2 of the females are already pregnant, 2 are in heat, and their brother, the only Tom left in the neighborhood, is walking around with a shit-eating grin.

    Steve is GORGEOUS!!! My son (and family) had a very similar cat with Steve’s markings/fur for 8 yrs. We still mourn his passing. His name was Leo – my son’s horoscope sign is Leo – we got the kitten for him on his birthday, thus his name – Leo the Lion.

    Anyway, every time I see a pic of Steve, I just see Leo. May he give you as many years of love and devotion we got from Leo.
