Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

No one could have predicted…

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

This really is a full service blog.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

American history and black history cannot be separated.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

So many bastards, so little time.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

    I hope they have that factory-fresh new puppy smell. So adorable!

    I’m getting, not a kitten, but a cat tomorrow!

    Loki has been so sad since his life-long buddy died two months ago, and so lonely. He lost a lot of weight (almost a third of his body weight), but he’s gained most of it back now, and seems to be on the mend. The only thing wrong now is that, when we go to bed, there’s no one to play with. So he walks around the house singing his play song, and no one answers, and no one ambushes him around a corner. Something had to change. I went to the local last chance rescue, and they have a very friendly, very playful one-year-old who really seems to like other cats (I watched him draw out an old guy who is scared of cats and people but warmed up to Artie). We’ve set up an isolation room, and we’re bringing him home tomorrow. I really hope this is the solution to everyone’s problems and hopes, all around.

    Just heartbreaking, so glad he is going to have a new friend.

    @WaterGirl: I never knew a cat could grieve like this. And Loki is 13 going on 2, a real kitten at heart. I really hope  this one year old little guy works his magic. I really think he will.

    @MagdaInBlack:

    @Joy in FL:

    @scribbler:

    Thanks to all for good wishes. I’m anxious and excited after a really hard two months. Well, 2 1/2 counting Reilly’s final illness.

    @KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): Please keep us updated! I so hope Loki accepts a new buddy – once they get through the hissing/spitting/growling and swatting at each other ritual!

    @KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): cats definitely grieve. We got Asimov so Heisenberg could have a buddy after his brother Schrodinger died. Then Heisenberg died and we got Cygnus so Asimov could have a buddy. This attempt is ongoing, but we’re hopeful.

    @WaterGirl: 5 pups.  These are the brown ones.

    The other two are very hard to photograph. Effectively tubes of black. Really really really black.
