Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Everybody saw this coming.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The words do not have to be perfect.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

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

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Late Night/Early Morning Open Thread

I have developed an earache and a sinus infection when the temperature dropped 30 degrees and it got all rainy and nasty. Tried to sleep but can’t, and I even had squirmy Thurston sleep with Shawn tonight so I could sleep. Going to be a long day tomorrow.

Been a long time since I posted some pet pics. I will make sure I take a bunch tomorrow.

    Raining hard here. The folks who left the hot city Saturday to come camping up here must be freezing in their tents now. (Disregarding the ‘save the planet’ message on the video since it’s too late for the border zones), this is a nice song sung by a friend of mine.

    Hay agua en la tierra y hay agua en el cielo Hay agua en la lluvia que moja el sombrero Hay agua que sube y hay agua que baja
    Hay agua en el charco del patio de la casa Hay agua en el lago y hay agua en el rio
    Hay agua en los mares, y en el vaso mio
    Hay agua en piragua y agua en Nicaragua Hay agua en paraguas y agua en Paraguay Hay agua en la savia que va en la madera
    Hay agua en la harina, que se convierte en pan
    Cuida el agua Cuidala
    There is water in the ground and water in the sky There is water in the rain that falls o my hat
    There is water that rises, water that falls
    There is water in the mudpuddle in my front yard There is water in the lake, water in the streams
    There is water in the oceans, and water in my glass There is water in the canoe, water in Nicaragua There is water on the umbrella, and in Paraguay There is water in the sap that flows through the wood And water in the dough that becomes bread
    Take care of the water…

    Good to hear from you, Cole. Sinus infections are no fun. Good luck with that.

    Temp down to 67° now in NoVA, going up only to 68° today (Tuesday) and then down to 58° tonight. High of only 65° Wednesday. Pleasant but weird for June here.

    I don’t know why I’m up so late, but now I almost want to stay up until dawn (5:45). But I may fade after the current episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent finishes in about 10-15 minutes. Love that show. Best one of the franchise by far.

    My sinus infections get a lot better fast when I dose them with suda fed, the plain kind with nothing else added in. Body stops hurting all over. And my ear infections turned out to be allergy related a lot of the time. For both, the passages get narrowed and I feel it worst in my joints and stomach. The sudaf. works great, and alleg.-24 used to work for my ears. Japanese people in my family say that dropping temperature would make you hurt all over and get sick if you didn’t have lots of blankets on. They say sleeping cold really fcks u up.

    Bixby caught me off-guard last night and now I have a black, swollen right eye and some nice road rash. Today he gets clipped, I hope he doesn’t think it’s because he tried to kill me….although…

    I found out when I went to see an allergist that sinus issues can also be asthma-related. It turned out that I don’t really have any allergies (except a very mild one to mold) but my asthma is worse than I thought and was causing a lot of my sinus issues (non-allergic rhinitis is strongly tied to asthma).

    Hope JCole and all BJ readers are doing better. Enjoying the mild drizzle and cool air in NoVA today.

    Be well. Oh, and Thurston and Lily and Rosie and Steve pics please.

    Feel better , John. The temps dropped like a rock here in Jersey too. Can’t believe I had the AC running two days ago.

    It’s been a while since you mentioned Shawn too. When he first moved in, you posted all that dietary menu stuff, trying to get his diabetes under control. How’s he doing these days?

    It’s been a long time since you have posted your pet pics and the commentariat’s. I miss those days.
