Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Second rate reporter says what?

So many bastards, so little time.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

An email update from MARC:

John, Thank you and all Balloon Juice followers, for the calendar sales resulting in MARC (Marion Animal Resource Connection) in Jasper, TN receiving $1,935.96! It is being put to very good use. I don’t know what we would do without your support. You have helped and continue to help so very many innocent cats and dogs here in Marion County, TN.

In the last 4 weeks we have taken in 22 stray puppies and 3 pregnant dogs who subsequently gave birth to 19 puppies. In just one week we spayed and returned to their low income families 12 female dogs who would not have been spayed without MARC’s help. This prevented more homeless puppies. We have helped rescue and rehome 5 pregnant cats and two litters of kittens. MARC receives on average ten calls every day of the week asking for help.

The pictures I have included show a sample of the cats and dogs we have helped recently. The two cute puppies on the couch were from a litter of six who had apparently been thrown over a cliff on one of our mountains. Hikers heard them crying, climbed down and saved them all. MARC was contacted and the puppies were fostered until they were old enough to be adopted. MARC provided their vet care and got them spayed and neutered. These two were adopted by one of the TV anchormen from the station who covered the story.

We continue to cultivate networks with other rescues and shelters. So far this year we have sent 60 dogs/puppies to Boston with Great Dog Rescue New England. They find wonderful homes for our southern dogs. We also have been working with two of the shelters in Chattanooga. They have started helping us with hoarding cases and taking cats and dogs as they are able. These relationships have been a wonderful outlet for MARC when we have no place to put an animal to prevent them being killed or getting them some help medically.

Again, Thank you and your followers for all the wonderful support you give MARC. You make it all possible!!!

Sue

You guys rock!

    Yay! Love hearing good news like this. MARC sounds like a really great group and how wonderful that they’re partnering with other organizations. It’s like an underground railroad for animals.

    I like the back to back posts about Hitler being a dog lover followed by the animal shelter telling you, “good job.”

    Holy fuck. My eyes got big and I had to read that twice to be sure I had read that correctly.

    Hikers heard them crying, climbed down and saved them all.

    Thank god for all the good people in the world.

    OT but my gosh it is about animals. That Nevada rancher (I won’t type his name) is now saying the government harmed his cattle. Cue more right wing outrage in 3, 2, 1 …..

    “It’s going to take a lot to revive the calves that were nearly dead when they were returned to the Bundy Ranch because they had been separated from their mothers during the roundup, and a few most likely won’t make it,” said Fiore, a Republican from Las Vegas. “It’s time for Nevada to stand up to the federal government and demand the return of the BLM lands to the people of Nevada.”

    Oh and Japan is going to start whaling again. At least this post is some good news for animals.

    OT–NYPD disbands its Spying On Muslims unit.

    The NYPD’s Demographics Unit, which allowed plainclothes detectives to spy on pretty much any Muslim doing anything in New York at anytime, has been disbanded, the New York Times reported on Tuesday. Since its establishment in 2003, the once-secret program infamously failed to generate any leads or investigations, though former Mayor Bloomberg and former police commissioner Ray Kelly repeatedly defended it as essential to protecting the city from terrorism after the public learned of its existence.

    @jeffreyw: Yes she will. My brothers puppy was that size and he is now the size of a small horse. Labradoodle. Wonderful, wonderful dog but he does have a little too much energy for my taste. Also gets very excited. He was taken to a trainer, but alas the trainer failed to train. It is really strange cause it will jump up on anybody, well anybody but my 5 year old niece. He truly seems to understand he is larger then her and could hurt her.

    @WaterGirl: I sure hope so. I really miss them. However, the standoffish office cat has discovered I have a lap. So he and the office dog now follow me. It’s an office record, 1 day and the animals seem attracted.

    @Omnes Omnibus: I have started working for a behavioralist. Many of you with dogs probably have heard of her. So I have her doggie (follower), my supervisor’s doggie (likes to bury her face in my lap and give me poodle hugs) and chickens and cats to contend with, along with CMS, SEO, Social Media MarCom and filming schedules. Like writing a script re: pharmacopeia, long distance hunting for film permits in the UK and worrying about doggie peen appearing in the shot.

    @ruemara: I have never worked in an environment like that. Probably for the best. I’d just play with the dogs until they fired me for lack of production.

    @Omnes Omnibus: You can get a lot of work done with a cozy cat in your lap. Of course, “kissy kissy pookie face” does get annoying the 4th time in a row. But—> KITTIES! Soon the volunteers will be socializing the kittens and I’ll have weeee kittens.

    Cat allergies. Dog and horse ones as well. The latter ones respond to meds. Cats just fuck me up. I will also note that they know it – those sadists. They always come rub up against me, sit on my lap, etc. They know what they are doing; they know that I will be nice. Then they laugh like bastards when my eyes water and I start sneezing.

    If her name starts with a “V” and she’s British, I will be very excited for you.
