Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This really is a full service blog.

The revolution will be supervised.

Wetsuit optional.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

The math demands it!

I personally stopped the public option…

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

… down to kool-aid drinkers and next of kin at the trump White House

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

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

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

I can’t take this shit today. I just can’t.

‘Forty-two’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Good luck with your asparagus.

Too inconsequential to be sued

Shocking, but not surprising

‘ghost cat’ and Her Kitties Could Use Our Help

by WaterGirl|  January 16, 20213:49 pm| 114 Comments

This post is in: Balloon Juice, Bleg, Open Threads

ghost cat wrote to us with a problem, hoping we could offer advice on how to re-home her 4 bonded cats that she desperately does not want to give up.  With your help, we hope to be able to do one better than that, because rehoming the cats would solve one problem but would most likely …

Good morning — Just a bit of good news. Claire got discharged from the hospital late on Monday night after her 4th round of chemo and treatment.  As of last night, her appetite and energy is pretty good.  She’ll get to spend, assuming no setbacks, at least through New Years at her house with her …

For many pediatric cancer patients like Claire who have leukemia or other blood diseases, a bone marrow transplant becomes a critical part of their treatment.  While Claire’s doctors hope to continue to rely only on chemotherapy for Claire’s treatments, changes in her condition and the threat of relapse in the months and years to come …

Good afternoon everybody. I just want to give you all a quick update on Claire, my niece. She is finishing up her second big round of chemo.  It kicked her ass.  She is exhausted and not feeling too well and she has lost her appetite.  Right now, she is getting supportive care to get her …

As the week wraps up, I want to give you all an update on my niece, Claire. She is wrapping up her round of chemo shortly.  The technical term that can be used around 9 year olds is that chemo is a butt kicker. She is Philadelphia at the moment and adjusting to the changes …
