Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

This fight is for everything.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We still have time to mess this up!

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Today is something neat. I’ve spent countless hours looking out plane windows at the North Atlantic, but I don’t think I’ve seen Greenland!  I have, though, taken the far-north-route from SFO to Narita and saw wonder after wonder in the icy north. I think I even saw Russia from my seat!

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures, everyone.

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter Lee.

In October we dropped our youngest off in Fontainbleau France for a year of study. On the way back we took advantage of a 3 day layover in Iceland.

On the way back to Dallas from Iceland we passed over Greenland and the weather was clear. It was such a rate occurrence the flight attendants were also looking out the windows.

Greenland

The white dots in the water are icebergs. In a couple of the images you can see glaciers.

    I’ve seen Greenland at least three times. Seattle to London and Seattle to Schipol. It’s amazing how massive the mountains are particularly on the east coast. The middle of the ice sheet has a shimmery optical illusion appearance similar to seeing fake water miles away on a highway on a hot day. It’s probably thin fog over the ice on a warm (relative) summer day. Amazing photos!

    Wow — those are really awesome pics, in that they fill me with awe. It’s amazing the variety of environments that humans have chosen to live in. I did not know until just now that Greenland is part of Denmark.
