Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

I really should read my own blog.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The willow is too close to the house.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

In my day, never was longer.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republicans do not pay their debts.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The revolution will be supervised.

    That is a big cat. Thurston looks as though he has doubled in size, since his arrival at your bachelor pad.

    Thurston is so tiny! I bet that won’t last.

    And, like all cats, Steve will be astonished. Then again, cats don’t know when they have grown either, as the many muffin cat pictures show.

    Steve later denied reports about the dog on the roof and referred questions to Matt Rhoades.

    I’ll bet Steve purrs like a teakettle. It’s probably very soothing for little (!) Thurston.

    Thurston Howl I finds the warmest napping spot in the house. And Steve cooperates. Cool jammies, also too.

    As fat as Steve is, I’m surprised he’s such a good hunter. Maybe the birds figure anything that fat can’t move fast, so they let their guard down and then–pounce!

    I am glad he figured out that, though they are little and squeaky, puppies are for cuddlin’, not pouncin’. Does he play with them? A tomcat who was having a torrid romance with our barn cat, even though she was spayed, used to play with Fuzzy’s puppies. He was a sweet guy, I remember him fondly after all these years.

    What about Rosie? Does she play with the puppies? Does Lily sleep with them like Steve does?

    February 5, 2015 at 7:47 pm

    That is totally adorable! I’d love to hear more about how they all get along. Are the puppies allowed to roam around the house yet? How are Rosie and Lily dealing with them all? And how’s Ginger? How did her possible breast cancer turn out?

    Glenn Greenwald just blocked me on twitter because I suggested that his habit of organizing international adoptions for stray Brazilian dogs is a horrible waste of money that could be better spent dealing with the problem in Brazil itself. Imagine how much it costs an English Greenwald fan to import one of Glenn’s rescues and quarantine it for months. All this while unwanted stray dogs are euthanized in UK pounds every day.

    I can’t even comment coherently because I’m a blithering, blubbering mess over how freaking adorable Sir Willie Whiskertons III and the puppeh are together. I mean, look at them. They are just–

    @bargal20:
    It does seem unlikely that there might be not enough people in a major Brazilian city to adopt stray dogs. Incidentally in which city does Mr Greenwald reside?

    Maybe the birds figure anything that fat can’t move fast

    You seem to have mistaken floofiness for adipose. The same mistake is often made about Mrs Spat.
