Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

So many bastards, so little time.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

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

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Consistently wrong since 2002

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Time to Go Through Your Pet Photos for the BJ Calendar

2021 Pets of Balloon Juice: Calendar B

2021 Balloon Juice Pet Calendar: Calendar A

Start your engines!

Time to start going through your pet photos for the 2022 Pets of Balloon Juice Calendar!

Be sure to look for high quality photos – in terms of resolution.  The really low resolution photos have to be really small in the calendar, so think big if you have them!  Otherwise, low res and small beats not being in the calendar at all.  :-)

All you photographers out there, let me know if you want your photo to be in the running for calendar cover(s) this year.

Some time in the next few days, I’ll put up a link where you can upload your photos.

Totally open thread.

    We lost two cats in the last year (both veterans of previous BJ calendars). But have a worthy successor — a bruiser named Rocco — who needs to be introduced!

    I’ve got one ready to go!  Pablo sitting in a shoe box.  I used it for the cover of the calendar I put together (photos of birds, flowers, bugs, in the months that they were photographed.)  My journey through the year, so to speak.

    I have an RIP photo (our dog Buddy passed in April) Hopefully, we’ll have a new family member photo by deadline!

    @Comrade Colette: Let me try. I’ve never posted a photo link on here, so we’ll see how it goes.

    July 15, 2009 Cole included a photo of my beloved Tassie the GSD in a purple wading pool playing with her tennis ball. It was a Wednesday night open thread, I think page 22 for that month. Could you drag it out of the archives? Cole thought she was a guy. Needless to say, it’s an RIP. She has been gone longer than we had her.

    Corrected to July 15, 2009.

    @jackmac: Only front-pagers can include an image in a comment.  But if you send me a photo, I can add it for you.

    @Raven:

    Lil Bit and Bud looked so much alike.

    My situation back in 2012 was not good and I had to send Bud back to the rescue org that I got him from. That was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do in my life. Bud was in one of the calendars, I just can’t remember the year.

    I was wondering only yesterday when we’d be hearing about next year’s calendar.

    @Raven: What cuties. Bohdi looks so relaxed. The cocker looks like he touched a light socket. I love their fur right before grooming.

    You did so much better on maintaining the ears than I do. Did you use a snood for the ears at mealtimes?

    @sab: Nah, I just washed her ears a lot. I had to feed by hand her in a “Bailey Chair” for the last 3 years of her life after she had “tie back” surgery.

    Tassie looks little in that photo, but that was a very big wading pool. She was huge. She weighed 130 pounds and she wasn’t even plump. Bigger than me. Walking her when she was young was a challenge.

    @raven: Prince thanks you for the ear washing advice. I cannot believe I didn’t figure that out for myself. I am used to dogs that shed massively.
