Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

We will not go back.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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.

Find Mr. Frog

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.
