Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

In my day, never was longer.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The lights are all blinking red.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

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

So many bastards, so little time.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

FInd Mr. Frog

A Very Special Mr. Frog

by John Cole|  August 16, 20219:47 pm| 60 Comments

This post is in: FInd Mr. Frog, John Cole Presents "This Fucking Old House"

Watergirl has been sending demanding and impatient text messages about the absence of Mr. Frog, completely unaware that we respect a man’s privacy on the weekends. So since we gave him a weekend off, a very special portrait of Mr. Frog praying to his almighty:

A Very Special Mr. Frog

Now an easy one:

A Very Special Mr. Frog 1

And now a harder one:

A Very Special Mr. Frog 2

Thus concludes my amphibian duties for the day.

I was in a mood all day. I had a headache, it rained all day, and everything pissed me off. On the upside, as I noted elsewhere, I did learn how to tell the difference between male and female frogs, and it is not, as I guessed, little green balls, but that male frogs croak. Same with toads. So he is, in fact, Mr. Frog, and not Miss or Mrs. Frog.

Here is Mr. Frog, and my mom was quite excited about this one for whatever reason:

Be good to one another.

This really is going to become a thing, isn’t it?

At any rate, we had violent thunderstorms all day which means that both I and Mr. Frog took long naps, and mom could not find him, so here is a picture from another day:

Find Mr. Frog 1

Can you find him?

Oh, I think I missed my soberversary again. I think I am at 8 or 9 years.

Find Mr. Frog

by John Cole|  August 9, 202112:16 am| 69 Comments

This post is in: FInd Mr. Frog, Nature & Respite, Readership Capture, Something Good Open Thread

My parents have a koi pond that my dad is very fond of, and it is as meticulously maintained as one would expect one owned by an 80 year old OCD German who was potty trained at gunpoint would be. At any rate, we have a frog in residence, who my equally senile doting mother has cleverly named “Mr. Frog.” Every day now this summer, she has sent a picture of the pond and Mr. Frog, and we play a sort of Where’s Waldo with it to find Mr. Frog.

It occurred to me that you all are as big a set of losers share the same interests as my parents, and would like to play along, so I am going to start posting them here. Here is today’s installment, and don’t ruin for other by pointing out his location in the comments, you bastards.
