Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Bark louder, little dog.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

In my day, never was longer.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

So many bastards, so little time.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Not all heroes wear capes.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Reader photos – November 22, 2016

by Tim F|  November 22, 201611:00 am| 16 Comments

This post is in: Photo Blogging

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.

From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

Submit Your Photos

Here are some more great photos taken by readers of the blog. This one took a while because my blogging time is really curtailed right now, but I hope to do two or three of these a week. I thought this time we would go with a couple of critters. Photographers, feel welcome to talk about gear or technique in the comments.

Hoary Marmot

If you want to participate, email me a link to a couple of your favorite pics on a photo site like Flickr (do not send the image itself please) and I will put them up in open threads. Send a short caption if you want and let me know how you want to be identified. If your computer cannot read our email links at top right, my email is (remove the zeroes): portus0jackson0ii at yahoo dot com. There was a good discussion about sharing photos anonymously in our last photo thread.

***Update***

Looks like I got today’s date wrong. That’s what I get for writing this at 6 am to steal some time before the 3 year old wakes up. If this keeps up I might have to reactivate the old coffee habit…

    Both photos are amazing. Was the marmot in the wild?

    @bemused: it almost looks like a painting and would make a gorgeous stained glass window.

    Oh, these are wonderful! The frog is amazing – is that “as taken” or did Auntie do any adjusting?

    I was wondering what the diff is between a marmot and a groundhog, so I looked it up – turns out “marmot” is the name for a lot of ground squirrels (genus Marmota), and includes groundhogs.

    @Gindy51: It would make a great fused glass piece, too – and I’m always on the hunt for images to work with.

    Tim, can we contact the photographers to ask permission to use their images? I may seriously want to try putting that frog in fused glass.
