Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Books are my comfort food!

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

On The Road

by Alain Chamot (1971-2020)|  March 31, 20175:00 am| 13 Comments

This post is in: On The Road, Open Threads, Readership Capture

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

 

Pictures after the fold. Have a great weekend!

 

First up, from Lapassionara.

These were taken on March 23, in Manhattan. Teddy Roosevelt was a great president, and I doubt that anyone knows he was a Republican! The MAPA sign was taken on the high line.
I meant for the outside view to be the first in line, but oh well.

 

Next up, from otmar:

Where it was taken: Prague
When: Friday evening
Other notes or info about the picture: I’m spending the weekend in Prague with my wife. We arrived in the evening, and after dinner walked a bit through the old town. The sights are illuminated, I’ll send daylight pics tomorrow.
Where it was taken: Prague
When: today, Saturday
Other notes or info about the picture: Here are some pictures from our walk through Prague today: the cathedral, the bridge, and two views from Petrin: one back over the old town, and one towards the castle.
Even more from otmar:
Travel safely!
And finally, from JCJ:
Where it was taken: When: Taken at the Milwaukee Art Museum Saturday afternoon  (3/25/17)
Other notes or info about the picture:  This was at the Art in Bloom event they have every spring where they
have floral designers create displays to go along with the artwork.

Thank you so much for such beautiful pictures! Next time I’m in Milwaukee, I’ll have to check it out!

 

So that’s it for today’s photo dump. There are tons lined up for next week, so if you’ve sent some in and wonder where they are, stay tuned!  And as you can, please send more pictures!

 

Have a great weekend, all! Oh, and since Saturday is the first day of next month, don’t forget to say “rabbit, rabbit” for good luck!

    Wanna travel story? This is a shot of the spools of cable or pvc stored under I-85 for years.

    This is the fire.

    I’m not traveling, but saw a news story in which a California “fitness guru” was traveling down the freeway, and when stopped for speeding, turned out to be traveling without pants.

    Didn’t know Cole had relatives in California.

    Yes, thanks for all the pictures! We need to spread reminders to low info types that the Republicans of today aren’t our father’s or grandfather’s party, those Teddy Roosevelt quotes highlight that perfectly.

    The Prague pictures are beautiful, have fun otmar!

    And the art in bloom pictures are great, my favorite is the last one too!

    Each photo is beautiful or informative (thanks TR!) Or cautionary (thanks Raven!)
    The roadie brothers have been to Prague scads of time and believe it to be Europe’s most beautiful city. It’s on my wish list because the spouse loves Frank Zappa and there’s a statue of him in the square. The closest I’ve come is reading Vacslav Havel.
    Sigh….

    Haven’t been to Prague yet (it is on my list), and think it looks like awesome fun.
