Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

All hail the time of the bunny!

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

I wrote a post, but wordpress ated it.
Suffice to say, this day sucked.

Here’s Miss Hime, enjoying her reprieve from eye surgery. And Mssr Odo, just hanging out. Have at it. 

 

Miss Hime Paws
No matter what, Miss Hime is elegant.

 

I promise Odo is not mad at me.
He’s at his sullen middle aged phase

      Both cats seem to be suggesting that they want the Epstein Files released.

      Mssr  Odo will play Superman in the next remake.  He already has the laser eyes so they can save a bit on the CGI budget.

      “Today’s Celebration was Yesterday’s Persistence.”  I love that poster in the background. Also the kitties in the  photos are pretty awesome.
