Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

We will not go back.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

T R E 4 5 O N

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

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)

Favorite Dogs & Cats Series

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?

    @comrade scotts agenda of rage: The difference between Calendar A and Calendar B is which particular pets are in the calendars.

    Dogs and cats are in both calendars

    If you submitted more than one pet, all of your pets are in the same calendar.

    @comrade scotts agenda of rage: There are different pets in each.  So if you are looking for a particular pet, make sure you order the right calendar.

    Yay!  Thank you so much WaterGirl!

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

    Done!  So easy.

    @eclare: Yes!  The funds still go to Athenspets.  I should have included that up top; I will remedy that now.

    @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.

    @comrade scotts agenda of rage: No, it never does.  Gut-wrenching and heartbreaking to lose them, but wonderful to have them for the years we get.

    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.

    @Miss Bianca: What device and browser combination are you using?  Maybe someone here can try it with the same combo?

    Do you have another device you can try?

    Miss Bianca

    November 29, 2023 at 1:36 pm

    @WaterGirl: Oh, it’s on Safari. I may just copy/paste the link into Firefox and see if it works better.

  20. 20.

    Miss Bianca

    November 29, 2023 at 1:42 pm

    @WaterGirl: OK, Firefox worked. I’m sure you’re all very relieved to know that I was able to order my calendar after all. :)

    @Miss Bianca: I did it on Safari and it was a tiny bit slow but it worked.

  22. 22.

    WaterGirl

    November 29, 2023 at 1:45 pm

    @Miss Bianca: Well, you’ve probably helped a whole bunch of people who would be / will be trying to order using Safari!

    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.

    @wmd:  Okay, I think I have the right files in the sidebar:

    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!

    If we ordered one last year, do we have to pay again this year?

    WaterGirl

    @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.

    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.
