Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

All hail the time of the bunny!

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

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

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

When I was faster i was always behind.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

In my day, never was longer.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

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

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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,

There are issues with the form; I’ll work on them later this week.

Have a wonderful day, and Happy New Year!

No pictures today because I didn’t get it done before I left home/my computer. I’ll have normal content and work from there beginning tomorrow.

One last thing – as we begin a New Year with all possibility, let’s be hopeful and make some magic happen!

One again, to submit pictures: the form is broken so Send an Email

    2 degrees with snow on the ground. In my youth I would have been out on cross-country skis at first light. Now I am planning to roll over and sleep for a couple of hours more. Don’t intend to go out at all today.
