Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

“They all knew.”

Here are a few more shots from our trip through 8 National Parks in 8 days, November 2018. The beauty, grandeur and sheer magnitude of these places cannot be adequately described with words.

Moab, UtahNovember 2, 2018

This wasn’t actually in a park, but taken from a walking path along the Colorado River in Moab, between our hotel and the entrance to Arches.

Teasdale, UtahNovember 3, 2018

We would spend most of the day in a Park, then drive about 3 hours in the late afternoon to get to our next destination. The scenery from the road was almost as incredible as the Parks.

Bryce CanyonNovember 4, 2018

For smart people, this is the beginning of a hike that leads down into the Canyon and out through a more gradual incline. We decided to take the hike in reverse and ended by ascending this section called Wall Street. It was quite a workout!

I still can’t believe the magical images I was able to capture with just an iPhone. This is a truly sacred and mystical place.

    Spectacular.  Magnificent.  Stunning.  It’s hard to believe that antelope canyon is real.

    We went to Bryce a couple of summers ago. It’s true, photographs just don’t capture how small you feel standing those places.

    Each one is amazing in a different way, like the places themselves. Thanks for sharing them.

    In his 2nd term Donald Trump planned to sell off all of the national parks to the highest resource extraction bidders, and pocket half of the profits. SAD!

    Great photos!  I love the sunset shot in Arches.  I’ve lost count of the number of trips that I’ve had there.  You absolutely captured the evening in the Park.

    With all due respect to your wonderful pictures, you really have to see the Grand Canyon. Also, southern Utah is one of three scenic destinations in the US that should be on anyone’s bucket list.

    @Mike in NC: I hope you are making that up, but I fear you are not.  We came so close to losing everything.  It’s horrifying.

    I did a lot of well site geology around Moab and absolutely love, love, love that part of the country.

    Thanks for reminding me why.

    I’m thinking really hard about where to go when travel is safe again.  Grand Canyon’s been on my bucket list since forever, and now Antelope Canyon is as well.

    Thank you for these glorious photos!

    I am sure you posted it somewhere but do you have the route you took to get from each park to the next?

    Great pictures.  WOW is not a big enough word to describe viewing them.  Being there is beyond language.
