Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

You cannot shame the shameless.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Wild Animal Demands Food

This has been going on for an hour and a half:

He’s hungry because he’s off his feeding schedule, having woken me up at 4:30 for breakfast (the dogs then woke me up at 5:30 because the smoke detector battery started chirping), which meant he demanded dinner at 5 pm.

Belligerent fucker.

    Speaking of wild animals, someone please tell me how this happens:
    Palin and Brazile to bring political discussion to Cullen Performance Hall
    “On May 3, Cullen Performance Hall will host Bridging the Political Divide, a discussion of America’s increasing political polarization between former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and the previous chair of the Democratic National Committee Donna Brazile.”

    Poor Steve. So hard done by. He’s probably jealous because Lily girl gets food all the time.

    @Corner Stone: I’m not sure that’s event is happening. I clicked through to the Brilliant Lecture Series website that is supposedly sponsoring it and the event isn’t listed. I clicked on the “buy tickets” link in the article and the event doesn’t exist. I event looked at the calendar for the Cullen Performance Hall where the event is supposed to be held and there’s nothing on that date.

    My Maine Coon mix Buckey has been gone for two years now, but this clip reminds me of how he greeted me every morning. I am an early riser, but the last few years of his life, he made it to 18, he was there in the kitchen to greet me ever morning. He shared everything in the food department with me if it involved being a carnivore. I am from the south, I bake hams, ham is one of my favorite foods, and Buckey always demanded his share. John Cole is a lucky man to have such a cat as Steve. As much as I love our current three cats, there will never be a cat like Buckaroo Banzai. I miss him still.

    He sees you feeding Lily if she so much as glances toward food, and is protesting the disparity in treatment. He recognizes injustice when he sees it. All pets are created equal, and your job is to indulge them equally and as much as humanly possible. Then, when he gets fat, it is your obligation to accept limitless abuse from the BJ community about how you let him get that way, and limitless unwanted advice about how to fix it.
