Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

We still have time to mess this up!

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

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

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I was promised a recession.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

2021 Pet Calendar Deadlines are Coming Up!
MY BELOVED KITTY SOULMATE, QUIVER, who I lost 10 years ago.

All you have to do by the end of the day on Sunday 10/18 is send an email.   That’s it.  Just one email message, telling us that you want your guys in the calendar and what their names are.  You don’t even have to send the photos yet.

Address the email to me or you can send it to pet-calendar.  You know the format of the email addresses, right?  nym at balloon-juice.com – for more details click on Contact Us.

Your message should include:

  1. your nym
  2. the names of all your pets that are going to be in the calendar*

When I get your email, I will send you the link to upload your photos.

As soon as we know how many entries there will be, Beth can get started sorting the pictures we already have.

You can write as much as you want in your email, but it can be as simple as this.  Yes, this is a screen cap of a real one.

2021 Pet Calendar Deadlines are Coming Up! 1

Deadline for actually submitting your pictures is Nov 1.  For real.

We have 226 pet names for the calendar so far!

*If you have a beloved pet that is no longer with you, they can be in the calendar, too.  You have an option of a small heart next to their name or a tiny rainbow.  If you want either of those, just let us know.

    Speaking of which (sort of OT) but Ricky Gervais lost his beloved Ollie a couple of months ago and he and his partner Jane have been bereft. They have been fostering a cat recently and guess what. She is staying, and like Ollie she has her own twitter feed her name is Pickles https://twitter.com/PickliciousF

    @WaterGirl: Quiver is lovely! (Also, presumably, lively, which is what autocorrect wanted.)

    Sent you an email with names (no photos) of several beloved cats.

    I miss having a cat.  The Korra years have been the only non cat years in my life.  Her prey drive is just too strong.

    Very big news from Nancy SMASH’s chief of staff:

    The Speaker and Secretary Mnuchin spoke at 3:30 p.m. today for 1 hr, 22 mins. The Secretary stated he would accept Democrats’ language for a national strategic testing plan with “minor” edits & that language would be shared tomorrow. The Speaker looks forward to reviewing. (1/4)— Drew Hammill (@Drew_Hammill) October 15, 2020

    The Speaker reminded the Secretary that the President has recently and repeatedly urged an agreement, and indicated his willingness to “go big or go home.” (2/4)— Drew Hammill (@Drew_Hammill) October 15, 2020

    The Speaker also raised Leader McConnell’s comments today about not being willing to put a comprehensive package on the Senate floor. The Secretary indicated that the President would weigh in with Leader McConnell should an agreement be reached. (3/4)— Drew Hammill (@Drew_Hammill) October 15, 2020

    Staff will be exchanging language on several areas which the Speaker and the committees of jurisdiction will review. (4/4)— Drew Hammill (@Drew_Hammill) October 15, 2020

    Sounds like Mnuchin & Twitler have decided to surrender, and Yertle will be ordered to go along. Internal polls must be terrible.

    @Aleta: Nope, I am all caught up on responses.  Let me check the magic spreadsheet.  I’ll be right back.

    edit: did you send to watergirl or pet-calendar?  do you recall?

    “Internal polls must be terrible.”

    I hope they are so bad, that a real human would suck his thumb, just long enough to realize that he was, and then spontaneously combust. trump, I just hope he spontaneously combusts.

    @MomSense:  Admirable of you to not put a cat through that.   I’ve known people who believe they’ll  keep the cat safe, but it stresses a cat severely to be near a dog who tries to get them.   Affects their health.

    @WaterGirl: Quiver was a boy!

    Usually kitties with his coloring are girls. (Can attest personally to two. One Abigail, departed. One Tess, with PTSD, but still beautiful.)

    Clearly, he was a rare breed.

    @WaterGirl: Would love to know more about Quiver if it’s not too painful for you.  Unless you’ve done one at some point and i missed it.  Only been here for about five years.

    So Trump will be certain to take credit for all it himself, then….
