Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

All hail the time of the bunny!

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Republicans do not trust women.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

    She looked like a beautiful and wonderful companion to you. I’m so sorry you’ve lost her. The only thing to remember is that you probably gave her as much joy as she gave you. I don’t think I believe in heaven for people, but, just maybe our loving cats and dogs are romping away somewhere, free of pain and care.

    Having been where you are too many times in my life, I know there are no words of comfort that you truly hear on the day of losing a treasured companion like Patsy Marie. There is only the pain of loss. But we all are so very, very sorry to hear of this, Betty. She was a good dog, loyal and true. And goofy sometimes, as all dogs can be. Sending gentle hugs to you and your family tonight.

    I’m so sorry. She was, by all reports, a sweetie pie squared.

    The Roman Catholic priest in our neighborhood once told my landlady about a conversation he had with a grieving dog owner who wanted to have masses said for her dog. He had to tell her this wasn’t possible. Seeing the cloud of wrath looming on the horizon, he had the wit to say “You know, dogs don’t need to be saved–they are without original sin, because they’re just the way God intended them to be, and unlike us, they’ve never strayed.”

    Thanks for your kind condolences, everyone. And love and courage to those of you who have experienced similar losses or are facing the prospect of such a loss now.

    Losing loved ones, human or otherwise, is the hardest thing in life. It’s so hard to bear that it makes you want to raise the drawbridge to your heart to protect it from such desolation in the future.

    But that’s the paradox: love is what makes the loss so hard to bear, but it also happens to be the only damn thing that makes life worth living. You have to be open to love, or life is an empty, pointless march to the grave.

    I’m trying to hold on to love today. Y’all have helped with your kind words. Thank you.

    Betty, your comment about the drawbridge is so true … we lost our little Cleo (17 year old tortie girl) three nights before Christmas, and the grief is still sharp. But that very vulnerability – to love and be loved with all of your heart – is what makes us truly human. My condolences to all of you, Juicers, too. And a special hug for Daisy.

    So so sad about your beautiful Patsy-

    But that’s the paradox: love is what makes the loss so hard to bear, but it also happens to be the only damn thing that makes life worth living. You have to be open to love, or life is an empty, pointless march to the grave.

    she will always be with you, the Mr, your daughter, and us–and I am so grateful to all of these animals-they keep our hearts open.

    This came with the ashes from our beloved kitty Susy.

    As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
    I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
    Then I saw a wondrous image of a place that’s trouble free
    Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

    I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
    Were meadows rich and beautiful–lush and green and wide!
    And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
    Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
    My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
    And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

    I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I’m alright,
    This place is truly wonderful, then a bright glow pierced the night.
    ‘Twas the glow of many candles shining bright and strong and bold
    And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

    For although we may not be together in the way we used to be
    We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
    So whenever you need to find me, we’re never far apart
    If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

    I will never forget you.

  263. 263.

    Amid the sadness and grief is hard to remind ourselves that the memories of all the time spent together with your beloved pet will transform into a source of joy and gladness. Instead of tears, a smile will appear. Betty was a lucky dog to have you to protect and care, and you had the fortune of having Betty’s unconditional love in return.

    When we got home it was almost dark,
    Our neighbor waiting on the walk.
    “I’m sorry, I have bad news,” he said.
    “Your cat, the gray-black one, is dead.
    I found him by the garbage an hour ago.”
    “Thank you,” I said, “for letting us know.”

    We dug a hole in the flower bed
    With lilac bushes over head,
    Where this cat loved to lie in spring
    And roll in dirt and eat the green
    Delicious first spring buds,
    And laid him down and covered him up,
    Wrapped in a piece of tablecloth,
    Our good old cat laid in the earth.

    We quickly turned and went inside
    The empty house and sat and cried
    Softly in the dark some tears
    For that familiar voice, that fur,
    That soft weight missing from our laps,
    That we had loved too well perhaps
    And mourned from weakness of the heart:
    A childish weakness to regard
    An animal whose life is brief
    With such affection and such grief.

    If such is weakness so it be.
    This modest elegy
    Is only meant to note the death
    Of one cat so we won’t forget
    His face, his name, his gift
    Of cat affection while he lived,
    The sweet shy nature
    Of this graceful creature,
    The simplest pleasure of himself,
    The memory of our cat, Ralph.
