Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

No one could have predicted…

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Every MSM headline appears to be written by DougJ. i hope he’s getting paid.

The math demands it!

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Not all heroes wear capes.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The willow is too close to the house.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

This really is a full service blog.

This blog will pay for itself.

Militantly superior in their own minds…

To try to raise some money for Animal Rescue and to brighten up your day each and every day in 2011, LauraW has come up with this fantastic idea for the Balloon Juice store:

    Great, great idea. The lard loves a crazy kale lady. Who is the LauraW person though?

    edit, back in the front row, fuckhead will swoon.

    I love it. Give one to your favorite family wingnut for Christmas! I presume the URL will be on it but no other clues. Heh-heh-heh.

    Good idea. I will definitely buy one, maybe even submit a kitteh foto. I think you should also consider doing a book of the rescue stories. I love to read them. If Sully can sell a book with “the view from my window”…..

    Fantastic idea! I wish I had a pet, just so that I could submit a photo!

    (My friend’s dog had pups two weeks ago…I am resisting the temptation, despite their Lhasa-terrier-mutt adorableness.)

    Every month will have that many pictures? That’s a lot of pictures! I think each picture should have a name on them, for reference. That way the dog owners and the cat staff can get a shout out instead of saying how cute the tiger cat is that’s 4 down from the third row in from the left in April. Also.

    You have lured this lurker out from the shadows. Pics of the most handsome of cats has been sent.

    You should make a photomosaic portrait of the Cole fam pets together from as many subs as you can.For the cover?Or maybe use the bj logo?

    Ya see anyone who reads my blog (ie no one) will know that I have just been presented with a new itty bitty kitty that has nothing to do with me, I mean really, she is a complete stranger and now I am stuck with her… cause whatever, in good news she is getting fat, while she was a skinny kitty, she is now chowing down on the food that is always at the front door and she is packing on the pounds people!

    Photos of my two torts should be in your mailbox. I bet you get enough photos to fill half a decade’s worth of a page-a-day calendars.

    It was hard to decide which one to send of Chloe. Sadly I don’t really have any decent pics of the kitties at the moment.

    @Mnemosyne: Samantha did a Samantha and dissapeared. However, due to the fact that the food at the front door disappears overnight I am firmly of the belief that Samantha is out there and she is merrily living her life in the swamp and coming home to eat at night. If I may quote a movie right now “I don’t know whether she is happy, but I know she is free”

    @Litlebritdifrnt:

    That’s kinda what I thought. But she’s a tough old lady if she managed to get to 19 as an outdoor-only cat, so you’re probably right.

    And your new potential kitten is cute as a button! You’ll need a properly skeptical name for her given those suspicious looks she’s shooting you.

    OT, but alert Nate Silver and anybody interested in polling, Murder He Says, in which Fred MacMurray plays a pollster comes on at seven.

    “I’m with the Trotter Poll. We’re like the Gallop Poll but not as fast.”

    A hard hitting look at what happens when people stop asking questions and start getting real.

    Why yes, I did just pour my third, why do you ask?
