Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

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

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

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

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Urgent: Pet Sitter Needed in Denver Area

I received a request this evening, hopefully some of our Colorado jackals can offer a recommendation.

Commenter Silvery writes:

I do not yet know enough people here for reliable pet networking. My cat Elby came home from the hospital yesterday, and a family member in CA went into hospice today. I am in desperate need of a reliable cat-sitter at either their home or mine, and TaMara kindly offered to post this. I was wondering if our Denver area people have any recommendations you would be willing to share or refer to me? I’m in the SE corner of Lowry. Elby does need oral medication twice a day, but he is very easy-going and easy to medicate. I’m checking with my vet for referrals, and Nextdoor was also recommended.

If you have a recommendation (or if you can cat sit few a short while) leave it in the comments or send me your email and I’ll connect you with Silvery.

Otherwise, open thread

    I hope Elby finds a reliable person or two to help out. I would think people at the Vet’s office or at the kitty hospital would know a few people who could provide such services.

    As a fallback, a friend of mine arranged services, long distance, when her brother went into the hospital, at The Cat Spa : http://www.catspakennel.com/

    It was quite reasonable, the cat survived, and.the people were, reportedly, very nice.

    Thanks everyone. I’ll keep checking back in the comments. I’m also looking into boarding him at the Overland hospital on the other side of town, if anyone has any experience with them that they can share.

    We have used http://www.siriuspetcare.com/#2927 in the past for our three cats. Once for several days and once for two weeks – all were healthy and happy after.
    Hope you find a good match!

    I’m on the opposite side of town and had a knee replacement 6 days ago so not very useful currently. I will keep good thoughts for you and your kitty.

    Daughter in Denver says she’ll help. She’s downtown.

    Thanks again everyone for all the advice, and Amy Shields for the offer! Today a friend’s mom kindly offered to take him in as long as needed, so he’ll be in good hands until I’m back in Denver.
