Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Let there be snark.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Their freedom requires your slavery.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

    Of course cats aren’t bothered by sulking dogs. It’s like, so what?

    Kiiiiitty! He is a seriously handsome fellow.

    It’s 3 o’clock in the morning, and my kid’s hedgehog is on his squeaky exercise wheel, running, running, running his spikey little ass off. I don’t know how on earth the kiddo sleeps through the noise. Gonna have to oil that damn wheel.

    @magurakurin: Of course, this isn’t the first New Yorker cover by Mr. Blitt.

    Great pic, John. Got any advice for how to get a kitteh to consent to a scritch under the chin? Because my little guy steadfastly refuses to allow it.

    Two things: “Veep” is funny! Lots of swearing, so I can relate.

    Also, is there a good iPhone app that functions as a universal remote? Free?

    @Betty Cracker:

    I got nothin’ on your question. Just demonstrating solidarity at being up so late. I was thinking about watching the new episode of Justified from the DVR, but I think I really need to go to bed.

    I know you’ve been feeling bad about your mother, Betty, and you have my sympathy. For my part, I don’t really have insomnia; I’ve just gotten into a pattern of bad “sleep hygiene” the past month or so. I sleep for a few hours before dawn, and I nap for a few hours in the late afternoon or early evening. It sort of works—surprisingly well, in fact—but I feel a little weird about it. And of course I can do it only because I don’t have a nine-to-five job.

    @Wally Ballou:
    I’ve known a lot of cats who are that way about tummy rubs; they present their soft underbellies to humans not to invite a tummy rub, but as an act of trust. But it’s an unusual cat that doesn’t like scritches under the chin. That said, if he really doesn’t like being scritched there, maybe you should just respect his wishes and not do it.

    @Steeplejack: Thanks. I’ve got to get out of this sleepless cycle soon. Not sure how, though. I’ve had bouts of insomnia before, and I’m impervious to medical remedies.

    I thought that Shawn was the dog whisperer? He’s not paying attention to Rosie?
