Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

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

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Second rate reporter says what?

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

I really should read my own blog.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Cat Rescue Bleg: Two Sweet Girls in St. Louis

FacebookTweetEmail

A long-distance bleg from commentor Miss Bianca:

The Blue (grey) is Loki (aged 3) and the Tortie is Fiona (aged 2); they’re both female, both fixed, both in good health, with no behavioral issues. To the best of my knowledge their vaccines are current.

They’re also both very sweet.

They currently reside in Saint Louis, with the brother of their Mom. He’s got to move by 6/1/19 and can’t have them at his new digs. Their original owner is a poet and dancer from this area; she and her husband are both teaching in northern China and will be, for the foreseeable future, and they can’t bring the cats over. As the Brother can no longer look after them, she’s asked me at considerable distance to do what I can to try to get them a new loving family.

They haven’t been in a “plus dog” environment, so I don’t know about that, they both seem to get on with other cats, and ideally they’ll be rehomed together.

If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, leave a comment here or send me an email at annelaurie (dot) bj (at) gmail, and I’ll forward your message to Miss Bianca.

    Thanks, Anne Laurie! Please, someone adopt these sweet kitty girls! I will kick in for travel expenses!

    hmm.. I’m not quite sure yet about pets yet. Im unemployed at the moment and I rather not take on a burden while I’m still in this state. Are they a bonded pair?

    Instant family! What lovely girls. What misery for their pet Mom. Go to China, leave furry babies with brother, who flakes out on you. When you could have seen to their well being before you left. (Recognize I could be wagging my finger inappropriately. Apologies, if so)

    At least St. Louis is close to everywhere, what with being in the middle of the country. So everyone lives close enough for transport.

    Step right up folks, looks like two sweet girls can be yours, Seem like excellent starter cats for those who might have been considering for a while

    Or those that have had recent losses and need more cats in the house. Rescuing some sweet girls, just the way to ease grief.

    Hello Loki and Fiona, wish I could take you but Luca is a territorial asshole. In for transportation costs and nose-boopage.

    @MazeDancer: I don’t know the details, it’s actually another friend of mine in St Louis who posted the original descriptions – I told her that this blog was a good place to find kitty rescuers.

    2 cats means twice the adorableness–and these 2 definitely meet the ‘adorableness’ standard. And 2 cats together works well in so many ways, for the cats and the cat parent(s). I have my 2 and speak from experience.

    I can take them in if there’s not someone closer available.

    @Sister Rail Gun of Warm Humanitarianism: do you mean as a short term foster or as a permanent placement? Either would probably help a lot!

    @Sister Rail Gun of Warm Humanitarianism:
    Awesome – I could also do a foster as well given it is last minute. Oregon is the best place for pets, we have a nearly 99% adoption rate, although I would be remissed if I put them into a shelter. :P
    I will also put in money for transportation.

    I e-mail the link to this post to a friend who lives in St. Louis. I doubt she’s looking to add to her household but asked her to spread it around to anyone who might be interested in adopting.

    @satby: Permanent, though of course pending the reactions of the current crew. We’re an all-feline household.

    @Sister Rail Gun of Warm Humanitarianism:

    Two cats can fly in one big crate. I have done it, when moving cross country. Did they like it? No. Were they absolutely fine? Yes.

    They kept each other company.

    I might give each a big squirt of CBD oil before loading. Also good when getting used to new surroundings. and

    @Miss Bianca:

    Let me check with the spousal unit. I can’t make any promises but the kids would be thrilled. The border collie would probably adjust. We’re in St Charles. I’ll have an answer by 7 central. But don’t wait on me.

    @GregMulka: I will be waiting, and in the meantime checking with my friend. Thank you, all!

    It’s too bad the kids are out of school already. The cats could have just shown up.

    Writing as the house-ape of a Siamese and a Maine Coon, I still have to admit that torties are objectively the best.
