Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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

In after Baud. Damn.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

The words do not have to be perfect.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Second rate reporter says what?

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The willow is too close to the house.

Let there be snark.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

    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?
