Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

How has Obama failed you today?

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Let there be snark.

I personally stopped the public option…

The math demands it!

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

All your base are belong to Tunch.

No one could have predicted…

Shocking, but not surprising

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Everybody saw this coming.

Han shot first.

Shock troops for the Unitarian Jihad.

I’m going back to the respite thread.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

False Scribes! False Scribes!

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

It’s not even safe to go out and pick up 2 days worth of poop anymore.

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Anger Bear

This post is in: John Cole Presents "This Fucking Old House"

I am so fucking angry today at just everything. Everything going on has me just sputtering with rage.

On top of it, I have a sinus infection in my front right sinus cavity that is leaking a mixture of pus and blood and am on strong anti-biotics that will no doubt give me the shits and my teeth and eye and whole face feel like they have been punched and I just want it to be 21 January 2021 and this awful motherfucker out of the office.

Why I Am the Way I Am

by John Cole|  July 17, 20207:42 pm| 70 Comments

This post is in: John Cole Presents "This Fucking Old House"

In case you were ever wondering why I am the way I am, let me share this with you. Today is dad’s 79th birthday, and for his birthday they decided they wanted an ice cream cake. So mom ordered it, and I, as a good soon, picked it up and delivered it. All should be well in good in the Cole households. But, however, my family is INSANE, and mom is now blowing up the family text because she is ABSOLUTELY LIVID that they forgot the comma:

Why I Am the Way I Am

Why I Am the Way I Am 1

The family text is here to make me miserable btw- it’s all the kids, mom and dad, and Tammy, aka daughter #3. Sometimes I can pick the phone up and there will be 113 messages, and I will think something horrible has happened only to find out that they have sent 86 messages to the group discussing whose dogs more when the UPS person comes. And then they get mad at me because I don’t read every text.

At any rate, happy birthday, dad. Look at the mess you have unleashed on an unsuspecting world.

A Fleeting Epiphany

This post is in: John Cole Presents "This Fucking Old House"

I was driving to the farmer’s market to pick up some vegetables for a dad, and for a brief moment I think I was able to visualize things in four dimensions. I got goosebumps and the feeling that things made sense but I didn’t really comprehend it, and then I saw a family of deer near the road in a field, and focused on them and it was gone. I tried to think about it again and just felt confused like when a pitcher is actually called for a balk and the runner advances and you are sitting there trying to figure out what is going on, but for a moment I THINK I was able to do it.

I was so excited I called my brother and he just said “Ok and check your wheat bread for mold when you get home.”

It’s Raining And Shitty Out

This post is in: John Cole Presents "This Fucking Old House"

So here is a video of a METRIC SHITLOAD of big ole bees in my wildflowers out front:

Look how big my trees are getting!!!!

It's Raining And Shitty Out

The wildflowers really are amazing. One handful of them a couple years back, and they come back every year and have even migrated over to the tree on the right. They come in all different colors and sizes, too. Reds, yellows, blues, purples. best perennials ever.

MAJOR BIRB NEWS

by John Cole|  June 23, 20203:15 pm| 28 Comments

This post is in: John Cole Presents "This Fucking Old House"

I had thought the nest on the column on the front porch was empty, but as I was attending to the plants I noticed a bird fly up and out. I looked closer, thought I saw a little head, so I grabbed the step stool and camera, and lo and behold we have someone still occupying the nest:

MAJOR BIRB NEWS

Here is his very (at the moment) pissed off mom:

MAJOR BIRB NEWS 1

I also removed the two dead ferns and painstakingly removed the old nests and placed them delicately in new living ferns and hung them, so hopefully we will have some repeat renters this summer in those apartments.
