Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

He really is that stupid.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

T R E 4 5 O N

When I was faster i was always behind.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Republicans do not trust women.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Happy Cat Rescue Update: Tripod Tex

The little ex-feral is doing most excellent! Heard from Reilyn, who couriered Miss Callie:

A quick follow-up…I sent a note to Lori, the organizer, right after the donation; letting her know this was the leftovers from the Callie collections from the BalloonJuice community and therefore asking that she use the rest to either cover additional vet care for Tex or use to help other kittehz in need:

“Thank you! I will use extra money towards insulated outdoor shelters for the cats in Tex’s colony, and to help defray costs of TNR of the colony (and any friendly kittens we can adopt out)…

“I cannot thank you and the folks in your group enough for all of your incredible generosity for Tex!! My husband and I are pretty much speechless to receive such support from people we don’t know, for this wonderful little cat.

Tex loves to run and play. He purrs if we just look at him. I took him to our vet last week for his rabies vaccination and his first distemper vaccination. He’ll be neutered before he’s adopted out.

I have one couple that might adopt him, but if not, he’ll be on petfinder.com soon through the no-kill cat shelter I volunteer with, ewhiskers.com, here in Albany, NY.

Again, please thank everyone for me — Tex is such a happy little guy. That bad leg would have killed him with that bone infection … He is definitely worth keeping in this world for as long as possible! :) Lori”

Johannes:

I just heard from Lori that the Balloon Juice contribution for Tex’s GoFundMe—which brought her to and over goal — arrived. As a thank you, she’s sending a few pics of Tex for you and the Juicers.

Thanks so much; it means a lot to la Caterina and me, but far more to Lori and Tex.

We did good, guys.

    I would love to adopt that cute little guy… but we live in a tough neighborhood, with one 14 lb mean cat (not really, she just likes to jump on the other cat who weighs 10+ a little bit, but is faster than Punkin) but if he got outdoors, that would be a bad thing…

    So cute, hope he lands well a second time!!

    Happy birthday, everybody born this week sometime in the dim past.!!!. ;-)

    I’ve a 16 plus year old Tuxedo who’s very jealous. If not for that and the fact that I live a thousand miles or so from Albany, NY, I’d take him. I’ve always had a soft spot for the orange ones, the current President excepted.

    Tex looks very happy indeed. So glad everything worked out and wish that I could afford to send more than just good wishes to the little guy.
