Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn – Nancy Pelosi

How does anyone do Gilligan’s Island as trump world and not cast Jared as Gilligan?

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

This blog will pay for itself.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Yes we did.

I’m only here for the duck photos.

Just a few bad apples.

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

The math demands it!

The revolution will be supervised.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

… makes me wish i had hoarded more linguine

It’s the corruption, stupid.

This really is a full service blog.

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

Fuck if i know. i just get yelled at when i try it.

Han shot first.

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:

Pets of Balloon Juice 2011 Calendar Call For Photos

Since no one here ever gets enough darling pet photos, we’re going to create a 2011, 8.5 x 11, 12-month calendar for the Balloon Juice CafePress Store. using your best photos of your pets! We’re shooting for an end of October availability date so there is plenty of time for holiday shopping in the store. As usual, all profits from the sales will go to Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue in Western North Carolina

Guidelines:

2 photos per pet maximum, please.

Submissions accepted through Tuesday, Oct. 26.

To [email protected]

So get those photos rolling in, folks, so we can have this put together in time for Christmas.

    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.)

    Does it have to be a pet we have? Can it be an animal a friend has (or had)?

    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 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!

    I think you will get lots and lots of totally adorable photos. How about the year divided up into weeks, with 52 lovely furry beings?

  23. 23.

    gbear

    October 14, 2010 at 8:21 pm

    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.

    @MikeJ:

    If your pet is under 18 a guardian will need to sign.

    In that case, Sally the black cat can sign for herself. All the rest will need notes from me or my daughter.

    Do you still have Samantha? I’ve been wondering about her, but a little afraid to ask since she was already so elderly when you took her in.

    How about a Tunch action figure?

    hmmm, you calling for some raw, naked, animal action? How Paladino of you.

    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.

  32. 32.

    J.

    October 14, 2010 at 8:36 pm

    What, 12 months of Tunch isn’t good enough?

    On second thought, BRILLIANT idea!

    May I submit pix of friends’ adorable new kitten, Leonardo Da Kitteh (which I took)? I think the first two, of Leo looking kittenish and playing hide-and-seek with the pumpkin, would make excellent calendar fodder. Though I am also fond of these shots of my lanky black kitty, Felix, (walking on the vent hood and drinking water from the faucet).

    Decisions, decisions…

    @debit: For example, this one was almost titled “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”

    @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”

    Mnemosyne

    October 14, 2010 at 8:57 pm

    @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?

  37. 37.

    WaterGirl

    October 14, 2010 at 9:12 pm

    @arguingwithsignposts: Yep, that’s the one! I haven’t been around as much to see the most recent photos, but I always liked that one.

    @RedKitten: Am I the only one who thinks that SamKitten should be included as the human representative of BJ cuteness?

    Pics of King and Gaby sent.

    @Yutsano: Fourthed. I will consider pics of the boys and see which ones catch my eyes.
