Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Come on, man.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

We’re not going back!

In after Baud. Damn.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

The words do not have to be perfect.

    I always root for the critters in these situations. One day, this attitude will get my hand chewed off.

    Just to follow up on NotMax’s non-sequitur, it was March 5 and 0 degrees in Chicagoland this morning. Record-nearing.

    @John O: It’s about 73F here at 10:20pm in Ka’anapali, HI.

    That lion’s face, looming up in the corner of the window just before she opens the door, that gave me goosebumps.

    It’s 12 F in NYC right now (0611). Too cold.

    I can hear the maintenance staff clearing sidewalks in the development. They had cleaned snow yesterday but with snow falling into the night, they stopped cleaning at some point to leave it for this morning.

    Animals have so much more intelligence than most people realize. I read “The Tiger” a few years ago and the stories of the people who met up with them was terrifying.

    Impressed with that family. Not a single f-bomb, and not shrill when hysterical either.

    Impressed with the lioness. She can wait. Some other human will leave a door unlocked. Although, it will be her life that pays.

    I once saw a wildlife show on the teevee where a cheetah decided to have some fun with the human tourists. She got on top of their truck, swung her butt over the sun roof, and took a dump on them.

    Sigh, its been a beautiful week in north Florida in the 80’s where it belongs but new cold front coming in and its colder now than this morning…in the 50’s and going down. I wanted to garden this weekend. Pollen is already bad. dogwoods should be pretty this weekend.

    Here in Oregon, frosty in the morning and sunny and 60s in the afternoon. We should be seeing gray, dreary skies and lots of rain. The woods will be a tinderbox this summer if this keeps up. They say every few hundred years we get a massive fire that scours the mountains clean of any vegetation. I’m getting worried.

    Almost every cat I’ve ever had and more than half the dogs figured out how to open the house doors within a few weeks.

    The lions have obviously figured out that your car is a big can of cat food.
