Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Be a wild strawberry.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Not all heroes wear capes.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

People are complicated. Love is not.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

    This is my favorite cat-on-treadmill video ever. This cat has obviously been reading Gandhi.

    Later that night, after this video was uploaded, that cat killed them both in their sleep.

    kittens! I love cats. I can see one of my three doing that. The other one would run and hide and the third would just bitch about it.

    Lazy cat was funny, but I still have a soft spot for November. (And yes, I have posted this here before.)

    I’m in a cat depression funk these days, I’m afraid. I had a 15 year old cat die of a stroke on the way to the vet 2 weeks ago, and the following week a snagged claw on another turned into a leukemia diagnosis that likely means a 2-4 year life span for him and the other 3 I have left.
    With that, I cannot emphasize enough the importance to keep your kitties indoors (cat leukemia is apparently some kind of super-AIDS that spreads via waterdishes and grooming) or vaccinated if you want to take the risk associated with the side effects.

    Aww! My favorite animal kingdom expression is the “ears flipped back in annoyance” of housecats.

    Sorry to hear about your friens, Keith (

    A video with true crossover appeal — something both cat lovers and stoners can appreciate. Er, so the stoners tell me.

    Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is rough. One of my cats died very young from it, but the other is going strong after 4 years. You have to be very careful with other illnesses because FeLV cats are very immuno-compromised. For example, corticosteroids are a no-no, so we had to treat some of my cat’s breathing problems with bronchiodialators alone. But FeLV cats can live happily for a long time.
