Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Everybody saw this coming.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, man.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

No one could have predicted…

Good Morning All,

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

Submissions from commenters are welcome at tools.balloon-juice.com

A glorious tradition in DC – thank you Japan! – it’s often a magical, sensuous entreaty from Spring. I am so thankful for this submission, it really is a wonderful, glorious thing.  I wish all of you could smell those fragrant blossoms as they drop and scatter on the wind.

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures; hopefully this will spur a lot of cenote submissions from you divers out there!

    My own are 30 and 32. That baby pic resurrected a distant memory or 2 and brought a tear to my eye. Makes me all the more anxious for the birth of my 2nd granddaughter in August.

    Dived no less than a dozen cenotes between Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen – some famous, some not so much, and one that I was one of only 5 divers who ever entered. Now I’ve got to upload some cenote dive video to a linkable site…

    @Alain the site fixer: Thanks–I’d gone back and re-read several times, trying to figure out what I had missed and where I’d missed it.
