Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

He really is that stupid.

This blog will pay for itself.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

No one could have predicted…

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

People are complicated. Love is not.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Apparently the cat bleg for Orville and Wilbur was successful. Here are the details from Robin:

HUGE thanks to you and the Balloon Juice community, Adam! My daughter and I just dropped Orv and Willy off with Jenny and her daughter-in-law. We met up in St. Louis and the boys are Topeka bound!

Reid, you did it!

You guys housed my cats!!!

They’re Kansas kitties now.

Seriously, thank you so much.

I cannot thank you enough!

I’m not sure if the adopter is a commenter or a lurker, but hopefully they’ll sound of in the comments and let us know how things are going.

Here are the pictures Robin sent across.

    I think I’ve fixed all the fucked up formatting that WP decided to just add to the post.

    I remember you from the Urbana park district, you always made us kids from Urbana feel special and gave us some great memories. Thanks for taking the time to teach and guide the community! I have worked at the ymca in Champaign now for 17 years, I hope to give the commitment to the young people of our community as you did! Great to hear from you and thanks again!

    I found a picture of a kids team I coached in78 and put it on the C-U facebook page and got all kinds of replies. That was Private.

    Excellent!

    In other feline-related news, I successfully shaved my cat’s behindular zone this afternoon! It was a surprisingly trauma- and blood-free event. I am even fairly confident nothing too horrible will happen to me while I’m sleeping tonight!

    The boys are home and checking things out. I’ll have to share pics when they stop moving for a minute. Thank you so much to the B-J community for this gift!

    Raven, that’s really nice! Congratulations on the differences you’ve made in people’s lives — the ones you know about and the ones you don’t.

    The adopters are truly special people to take two 14 year olds. I hope they have many years together.

    @Raven: That is amazing. To hear that you’ve made a difference is so special. I’m sure you made many more that you’ll never know about.

    @Jenny Howard: Thank YOU for the gift of giving them a home.

    @Jenny Howard: thank you for stepping up for those sweet kitties! Hope you comment lots, not only with kitty updates. If you’ve mostly been a lurker, we’re so glad you’re here.

    @Jenny Howard: Thank you for giving my first babies a loving forever home! I woke up smiling, knowing that they are with a great person and in the perfect situation for what I am sure will be a long, happy, healthy third act. It was great to meet you yesterday and I’m thrilled to know this amazing community exists!
