Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

This fight is for everything.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

“Squeaker” McCarthy

The willow is too close to the house.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The words do not have to be perfect.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

Good Morning All,

This post is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.

So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat.

Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!

 

Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice

    I thought you had a bunch of pics queued up, so I didn’t send the couple I was thinking about.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: send them! I got mixed up and didn’t post pix for today. I’m hoping to get more sleep so it won’t be now!

    Got another email from Poco. Made even less sense than the last one. I quote: “dfu icfrn, gfcu ofx iio 57i8v i;o fxkhv, GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

    I think he found the Tequila.

    I spent most of the afternoon of our first day back planning our next trip for August. After the serendipitous side trip to Carlsbad a couple of years ago we wanfed fo see more caves. So I’ve got us booked in the Mammoth Cave campground, a private one near the entrance, and (bonus!) a state park near Nashville during the total eclipse on 8/21. Nashville and the park are both in the zone of totality.

    Sucgestions on things to see on the trip out and back from PA are welcome. The Bourbon Trail is on my list but that’s it so far.

    Good morning all! Poco is sleeping in a bit this AM. Too much excitement playing on Lone Rock Beach, Utah at Lake Powell. Also, the leftovers and bones the kitchen sent out to him at “Big John’s Texas BBQ” (Page, AZ) put him in a food coma while I toured Glen Canyon Dam and watched the movies on the CO River, Lake Powell, and the construction of the dam. We are off to Zion when he decides to get moving. Have a great day everyone!

    @frosty: I can make suggestions for the Mammoth Cave-Nashville area, as I live there.

    In Bowling Green, just south of the Mammoth Cave park area, you can visit (if you’re into cars) the Corvette Museum, now repaired after the unfortunate appearance of a sinkhole in one of the exhibit spaces.

    There’s a whole lot to do in the greater Nashville area, so if you’d like to let me know what you’re interested in I can make better suggestions.

    Kiddo rocked his first beach experience. He saw the water and charged it like a dusty Labrador. Daddy-o (once a lifeguard) was tickled beyond belief. Mommy-o (who is a little skeert of water) was mother-henning for a bit, but eventually gave in to the giggle fest.

    Bliss!!!!

    @1,000 Flouncing Lurkers (was fidelioscabinet): We may have a couple of days to spend around Nashville, so suggestions are good.

    @frosty: A note about Mammoth Cave. Because of white-nose fungus, which kills bats, you should not bring anything, even shoes and cameras, which has been in any other cave in the eastern US. I think Carlsbad is ok, but they may ask you anyway. White-nose is really awful, it kills bats while they hibernate. Here’s the NPS statement for Mammoth.

    Make a stop in Lexington at the Kentucky Horse Park. Besides a very interesting museum about the history of horses, you can see all kinds of horse and there are a lot of other things to do.

    Hey Frosty, There are a lot of caves in KY, and there’s a great museum across the river from Louisville KY in Indiana, at the Falls of the Ohio State Park. At the Falls of the Ohio there are great exposures of marine fossils in limestone beds, and the museum has brand new exhibits about the marine life of 300 million (or so, i forget the real number for sure) years ago with walls covered by moving images of underwater life of the deep past.

    And there is camping at Carter Cave State Park, in Olive Hill. Ky in the way east part of the state, and an easy break on the way to Mammoth Cave National Park. It’s about a 4 hour drive if you don’t stop. Google says 3 and a bit, but Google always exaggerates how easy it is to travel in the real world. No traffic in the Googleuniverse!

    I thought of mentioning Carter Caves. Even if you don’t go in the caves, the park is pretty.

    I sent some on Sunday. I will try to resend. I thought they were filming Game of Thrones, but it turns out it is a new Robin Hood movie with Jamie Foxx.

    I wish we could embed images here directly. I’m in Japan, and have been for almost 2 weeks. I have tons of pics but no public image sharing site account on which to put them to link to.

    @Rheinhard: Alain posted a link in an earlier Road Trip for emailing pictures. Maybe that would work?

    @frosty: I’ll get back with you–do you all have specific areas of interest, or just “neat stuff”?
