Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Everybody saw this coming.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

We won’t go back.

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

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

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

2024 Pets of Balloon Juice are Available to Order!

2024 Balloon Juice Pet Calendars are ready to order on Cafe Press!

Calendar A – Lily on the cover

Review the 2023 Pets of Balloon Juice: Calendar A!

Calendar B – Steve on the cover

Final Preview of 2022 Pets of Balloon Juice: Calendar B! 1

All proceeds go directly to Athenspets!

Order calendars here.

There were a few requests to add a pet to the calendar, but there were too many to squeeze in, and not nearly enough to make another calendar, so that option didn’t turn out to be feasible.

But we can do a Favorite Dogs & Cats series in December, like we did last year, so you can share your pets with us!   (regardless of whether they are in the calendar or not)

And we can absolutely make your pet photo into a postcard for sale on Cafe Press, if you are interested.  We just need a high resolution photo, and an image that works with the shape of a postcard – in either portrait or landscape.

Balloon Juice Pet Postcards can be ordered here.  There are some really great postcards!

Any questions?

    Please refresh my memory, what’s the difference between A and B?  Other than the cover?

    Yay!  Thank you so much WaterGirl!

    Do the funds still go to the pet rescue in Athens?

    Done!  So easy.

    @Alison Rose:

    Thank you for the links.

    Calendar ordered!

    Alas, one of my two in the photo went over the Bridge a couple of months back. It never gets easier losing them.

    Is anyone else getting a big old blank screen when you’re wanting to check out? That’s what’s happening to me, anyway. Grrr. I really don’t want to have to try to call them.

    Could you post a list of pet’s names and which calendar they are in for those of us that missed the production posts?

    The postcards are great.

    Thanks.

    I see both RC Gizmo and Buzzy are featured in Calendar A. Looks like I’m getting a calendar.

    @wmd: If we were more greedy and evil, and less caring and logical, we would split people’s pets between the two calendars, thus forcing them to either buy two calendars or choose between their pets.  Or say “fuck you” and not buy any!

    @Lord Fartdaddy (Formerly, Mumphrey, Smedley Darlington Mingobat, et al.): I believe I answered this when it was first asked in the original calendar post this in November, but in case there is any confusion:

    Calendars weren’t available on Cafe Press last year, so we offered people the option of donating $10 through the thermometer, and getting a .pdf file of the calendar if they wished.  Perhaps you did that?

    In any case, the way to get a 2024 calendar is to place an order through Cafe Press.

    As always, the proceeds go to Athenspets.

    FYI, each calendar costs $14.99 to print on Cafe Press, and the remaining 10.01 for each calendar ordered goes directly to Athenspets.

    If anyone didn’t get their critter included or wants an electronic alternative (though the prints ones are for a good cause so definitely buy them for all your friends) I ran across these.

    The Army Corps of Engineers is back. Last year they had one that featured cats. Well they did do one that features cats this year and they also did one that features dogs. They really are good for a chuckle. And this year there is also one from DHS that features their dogs.

    I ordered my calendar.

    Thanks, Beth and WaterGirl, and all those who supplied photos of their awesome pets.

    Ordered 1 of each.

    One will be mine and one will be an xmas present. I’ll decide which is which when I see them……

    @WaterGirl:

    Just ordered on Safari and had zero problems.

    It may be a Safari problem, it may be an operating system problem, it may be a setup problem on a particular computer.

    It may be something else entirely. I’m using all the very latest updates – a not latest updated system is another possibility.

    Ordered 3 of Calendar B! That picture of Bella is so iconic, I miss her every day. Thanks so much for doing this and I’m happy to support Athens pets.
