Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

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

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

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

“They all knew.”

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

    Busy day this morning working with a group that we’ll be doing some FLASH Fundraising for, possibly starting as soon as tomorrow.

    Anyway, I was busy with that and didn’t catch that we had no posts for several hours.

    When we fostered kitten Tristan at three weeks, Mr WayofCats said, “Oh. Now I see why you were calling him the furry slug.”

    @WaterGirl: I sent you an email with a political meme you should see when you have time.  The Cone of Shame.

    I’ve always assumed it was a “wiggle” of puppies.

    I always thought it was called a gaggle.  Giggle plus waggle.

    Mischief and Mayhem (golden retrievers) just turned 5….I’ve been thinking a lot about bringing a puppy into the mix lately, even though I should know better.

    @R’Chard: Hi there, just an FYI.  WordPress does not like apostrophes in nyms, and if you have one, every single comment has to be manually approved, every single time.

    There’s a link in the sidebar that tells you how to substitute a character that LOOKS like an apostrophe, but isn’t.  If you do that, I’ll have to approve the first comment you post with that, but future comments will show up right away.

    Thanks for these photos.  In our “interesting times” puppies are a godsend.
