Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

In after Baud. Damn.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

“Loving your country does not mean lying about it’s history.”

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

Books are my comfort food!

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Republicans don’t trust women.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I really should read my own blog.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

On The Road

This post is in: , ,

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 weekday feature 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. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…

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

 

Just a few pictures to start out the week, to ensure a good supply throughout!

First up, from Gin & Tonic

Since I will be otherwise occupied Thursday and Friday this week, here’s
one for the crowd.

Pahrump, NV, late on a July evening.

 

Yet another reason for me to get my ass to Pahrump someday! Just gorgeous.

Next up, from OzarkHillbilly, showing off Mallorca, one my my mother’s favorite places to work for a few weeks teaching in the summer.

My wife is from Mallorca so I have been blessed with spending a little bit
of time there, and being able to explore some of it’s lesser known places
as well as it’s more famous ones. I’ll be sending you pics of both from
time to time.

I wanted to get pics of the sunrise over the bay but to do so I had to get
up at 3 am and hike halfway around the bay because the buses weren’t
running. I think it was worth the effort. The last 2 are different framings
of the jetty and I really can’t decide which I like better, so I’ll let you
decide.

 

 

 

Thanks for those gorgeous shots! I’m saving more tomorrow, from Botsplainer. Like a lot, so have a great day, and keep sending in pictures to share!

    @raven: I always figured some day some way you’d enjoy those pics. Alain made it possible. I don’t really know what all they were catching, the one I did see must have gotten his teeth from the devil himself. I have some pics of a seafood stand in the Palma market that should give you a better idea.

    Hey Alain. If you are reading this, I continue to have intermittent problems pulling up the site in my phone. Thanks.

    @tybee: I see they shut down cobia on the east coast. AJ went down last week and they are telling me the cobia in the gulf are few and far betwee, We’re going down in April so I’ll have to adjust.

    @raven: my understanding is that cobia are off limits in federal waters – 3 miles out. in state waters, cobia are still legal. but i was depending on the local mullet wrapper for that info. florida laws could be different.

    Loving this series – those photos of Mallorca are beautiful!

    If you look at Mallorca on a map, and then look a bit southwest, on the mainland coast of Spain, you’ll see Almeria. In about 2 months, I’ll start walking from Almeria to the Costa do Morte in northwest Spain. 80 days walking.

    I’m a long time (many years) lurker. Should I send pictures? I’d love to share.

    Damn. I’m jealous. And yes, pics are required. If you don’t send some we’ll fire you.

    @JPL: Thanx. It’s easy to take good pics in Mallorca.

    Really love the Pahrump photo. I’m another long-time lurker. Balloon Juice is the site I spend the most time on most days. I’ve only posted once before: to offer John condolences when Tunch died. Next week I’m going to Paris and Bordeaux and will perhaps make a photograph worthy of sending in.

    @Fenix:

    You are not only allowed, you are required to send pictures of such a pilgrimage! With notes about the meaning of what you have seen and photographed!!

    Thanks for offering. We love Spain, such a beautiful place. We saw the tomb of El Cid, one of three cathedrals that claim to have him buried there.

    @Fenix and @Nilnoc I expect no demand pictures of your trip. Thank you for unlurking to let us know about your trip. I hope you will also share with us your daily adventures.
