Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

The willow is too close to the house.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

This blog will pay for itself.

Republicans in disarray!

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

On The Road

by Alain Chamot (1971-2020)|  June 9, 20175:00 am| 14 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

 

I just love flowers! In this case, a neighbor’s glory, clinging to her wrought-iron fence and enjoying all this rain.

First up, from Tom N

Where it was taken: Daejeong Five Day Market, Jeju, South Korea
When: Tues, June 6
Other notes or info about the picture: This is one of several traditional markets on Jeju; selling produce, fresh & dried seafood, clothing, housewares and, of course, more kinds of kimchi than one can imagine.

 

Looks like heaven! I bet there’s some great stall food on the outside or outer ring of the market, likely selling some of the freshest, best food you’ll eat!

 

Next up, from Ken:

Both taken in Missoula, Montana
June 2017
Poppies are just about done, and peony season started on Sunday.

 

 

Thank you so much! I’m so excited seeing so many beautiful, bright flowers.

 

And to finish things up, even more beautiful flower photos from Jeffg:

1. Campion
2. Evening primrose
3. Annual poppy
4. 4th of July rose
5. Perennial sweet pea

 

Have a great weekend all! There are so many neat pictures coming next week, I can’t wait.  Until then, travel safely and take some great photos to share if you can.

    I love my succulents, but I have missed not having real flowers due to the CA drought. Now that we’ve had a pretty good wet season, I’ve planted seeds that have been in the fridge for a couple of years. Hope a few will still sprout.

    ETA: forgot to mention how beautiful all the flowers are, and the excellent photography by all the Juicers. Ken’s pale yellow peony is to die for.

    Would love to wander that market and browse for hours! And the flower pics are gorgeous. Top picture is a clematis, not a morning glory.

    debbie:

    Great to be able to share and I will send more. Love me some peonies. The yellow is a Tree Peony. I grabbed that since it hadn’t seen a yellow peony before either!

    Cheers,
    Ken
