Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

The National Guard is not Batman.

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

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

In my day, never was longer.

So very ready.

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

When we show up, we win.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

“They all knew.”

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

You guys know the drill, right?

If you have more than one pet, they should all be in the the same calendar – either Calendar A or Calendar B.

Are all your pets there?

Are their names spelled correctly?

Is the heart status correct?

    Yup, there they are, Blacky (the outdoor cat) in January, Suzy (indoor cat) in September.  In A.

    I’ll be buying two because Suzy’s photo is from Bonnie at Cats Cottage Inn, where Suzy spends a few weeks a year roaming the hallways and climbing into the cupboards while we are out of the country.   Bonnie sends pics every day.  She will be getting a calendar…

    @pat: Should Blacky be Blacky or blacky?  I think I noticed a lower case B when I was putting up the post.

    Yes, all mine are there on A. Watergirl — you and Beth did an amazing job with the layouts — the cropping you did with my pictures really helps focus their personalities. I’ll be buying two of them. THANK YOU!

    Not sure if general comments are allowed – but these are delightful and fabulous. What a wonderful change from the news of the day. Many thanks WG – you are amazing.

    I didn’t notice a lower case.  Sometimes I call him Blackie and sometimes Blacky.  Either one is OK.

    We do not have a relationship except that when he looks in the door he gets a bowlful of Meow Mix.  We have a couple of doors with windows suitable for gazing into the house.

    He obviously has other sources because when we are gone for weeks at a time, we come back and he has not lost any weight.  And in the cold weather (0 this morning) he seems to find someplace to stay warm.

    Should add that when I open the door with the bowlful of Meow Mix, he still runs away and comes back very carefully to eat.

    eclare will not be happy – Henry only has one ear in his picture.  Must have forgotten to put the other one on that day!

    Am I crazy, or does in Henry in July look like:

    “Are you talking to me?” from Taxi Driver.

    Sadly I had to say goodbye to Charlie last Wednesday – so he needs a heart.

    Gangs all there. Nov Luna looking at the lens with an accusatory air also seems accurate.

    I think that Calendar A is filled with delights. It appears that my pal Zeke has siblings from another mother because Murphy and Chickpea both look a lot like Zeke. I am sure that they are equally charming.

    Thank you, Watergirl.

    My photography is very subpar.
