Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Not all heroes wear capes.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

This really is a full service blog.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

We’re so lucky each and every day to see and appreciate the world around us!

And so, we’re fixing some issues with the form that were first/most-reported by otmar. Order for submissions will be corrected, but for new posts only. Sorry for the issues so far!

Le sigh; I have no sufficient words to apologize to otmar and all. I’m sorry we didn’t get this right sooner.

 

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter ?BillinGlendaleCA.

Prior to our adventurer’s travels in New Zealand, she spent a few days in Sydney Australia and the areas around it.

Sydney, Australia

We’ve all see pics of the exterior of the Sydney Opera House, but not many of the inside.

Up next, the Blue Mountains.

Sydney, Australia

While our adventurer was in Sydney, BillinGlendaleCA was advised to tell her that a tour of the Sydney Opera House was a must see. I informed her of this advice and was told that she had already planned the tour.

Sydney, Australia

No we haven’t gone back to The Huntington, the Chinese Garden of Friendship is in downtown Sydney’ Chinatown.

Sydney, Australia

This is the iconic Sydney Opera House with the Harbour Bridge behind it and downtown Sydney in the background.

Taken on 2018-09-22 00:00:00

Sydney, Australia

This is the Roman Catholic cathedral in Sydney(formally know as the Metropolitan Cathedral of St Mary). The cathedral dates from 1821, the first church on this site burned down in 1856 and the current building was built in stages with the towers being completed in 2008. A tip to travelers headed there: it’s bad form to take pictures during mass at the cathedral(there are signs) and you will be asked to leave if you do so.

 

Thank you so much ?BillinGlendaleCA, do send us more when you can.

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

 

One again, to submit pictures: Use the Form or Send an Email

    Nice? Does this mean my Mardi Gras Indian costume pic didn’t make it?

    Beautiful! I have indeed never even thought about what the inside of the opera house looks like, and now I know.

    I always manage a trip to Sydney harbor every time I go. Sydney harbor, ride the the ferry to Manly a swim in the beach, fish and chips was a family outing for us. the landscape has changed but still beautiful.
    I like the photo of the opera house with harbor bridge behind.

    @waratah:

    That one was a bit of work, the kid accidentally turned the camera on full auto mode and I only had a JPG to work with.

    The inside of the Opera House is outstanding, but you have to pay for a guided tour to get to see most of that, and to hear about the trials and tribulations of getting it built. Even if you have tickets to see a performance there, you don’t get to see that much – there are five halls/performance spaces of different sizes, and you don’t otherwise get to wander from one to another.

    This prompts me to go through some of my pictures and post something – Sydney is a very photogenic city.

    @Gin & Tonic: I believe you’re the one who said that the guided tour was a must see, I sent her a text relating your advice. She had the tour already scheduled for that afternoon.
