Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

People are complicated. Love is not.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

Come on, man.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

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

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

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

We were worried we’d miss the roses while we were at the beach but we didn’t!

    That is so pretty, Raven! I don’t have a garden, but I’m still happy MEM got five to six hours of rain yesterday.

    Has anyone heard from Quinerly? I hope those fires in NM are nowhere near her.

    A good deal of recent plantings are in my house and garage to avoid the last 2 nights of freezing temps and snow. So today, the pots, large and larger, will get lugged back outside. Have a dolly and Advil.

    I whacked back Ruby the Giant Geranium ( too leggy after winter inside ) and stuck the cuttings in a pot full of soil. They never missed a beat, one had a bloom and its still blooming. I’m pleased with this wee bit of gardening I get to do.

    So nice to see the flowers. Many of my perennials were just starting to bloom and then we had the snow yesterday. I don’t yet know what has survived, but I already had my ancho peppers planted out and I’m sure they didn’t appreciate it.

    Raven should consider getting a Ring camera or something similar so his princess can check in on the garden whenever they’re out fishing.

    Oh, I didn’t think they’d get posted! Thanks Anne! We’ve been back a week and the roses are fading but she has it planned out so there is always color. The drought is getting more serious and we’ll see if it breaks this week.

    debbie We’ve got blinks up in the front but she’s never mentioned putting them in back. Her stuff covers two properties so it would probably take more than one.

    ‘@Raven, That is a very nice garden. The poppies and roses and foxgloves and salvia, artfully placed to suggest a certain wildness, that the garden just happened, but we know better.
    I dreamed of pots of plain red geraniums in full bloom last night. I blame the drugs (cough syrup with codeine).

    I may have to rename West of Eden to West of Camden Yards.

    Yesterday, arising at the crack of noon, even though a liberal, not fullly woke, I thought I heard my much Better Half say, “I saw 24 Oreos!” Great, she is taking me off my spartan diet – only 3000 calories a day. Finally, something good to eat around here and I might even be tempted to down a healthy glass of cow juice.

    “The orange was was so brilliant,” she said. Hmm, Halloween Oreos
    in May? Damn, probably stale.

    “They were singing their hearts out and putting on a wonderful aerial display – do you want olive oil on your kale salad? “

    That’s the way the cookie crumbles.

    I was so tired from yesterday’s garden Labor that I forgot to bring the tomato starts back inside last night. It was the first night without a freeze and they look fine, so it’s time to plant them outside. They’ll have Wall O’Water protection that has been set up for a week to warn the soil.

    We passed an auto repair shop yesterday that had a large sign in front – I’m so excited about Spring I wet my plants. It made us chuckle, but we’re easily amused.

    Raven, these pix are lovely. No one in our house is a flower gardener. I may have to give it a modest attempt – at least start learning about what to plant.

    Raven-
    Lordy, that’s a lovely garden! I also like the wildish look of it, and appreciate the artistic rose flow that’s admired from both sides of the windowpane.
    Kudos to you and your bride.

    I don’t have a garden, but we’ve got six or seven big-ass tulip poplars in the yard, so lately everything’s been covered with a blizzard of tulip poplar petals.
