Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

This fight is for everything.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republicans in disarray!

I went last week in Hawaii, visiting for the first time. My friend went with me, and has now been to every state.

    What building is that the front of? I think I used to see it in the opening credits for the Jack Lord Hawaii Five-O.

    I am wondering if those are balloons on the building’s front, or something else.

    We lived in Hawaii when I was little. Moved back to the mainland for first grade and have not been back since.

    @Elizabelle:

    I think they’re floats rather than balloons.

    I have a pic my old man took of the USS Missouri but it’s from a different angle. Taken from about 2,000′ feet up, the deck is crowded with all kinds of military luminaries. You can’t really make him out but Douglas MacArthur is there and so is Mamoru Shigemitsu.

    Thanks, I’m not sure how I made it up Koko Head. I’m not in bad shape, but I had to take a couple of rests on the way up. My legs were sore for the next two days after that.

    Kualoa – love the bird head on the skyline. It’s a real-life Magritte (Domain of Arnheim)
