Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

So many bastards, so little time.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Not all heroes wear capes.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

No Justins, No Peace

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

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….
