Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

White supremacy is terrorism.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Come on, man.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

The lights are all blinking red.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

We still have time to mess this up!

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Occidental College is a small liberal arts college situated on a hillside in the LA community of Eagle Rock. It was founded in 1887 in Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles, after that building burned down, they moved to Highland Park. The Highland Park campus consisted of 3 buildings(one of which is still standing and is now an apartment building). The Highland Park campus’ small size and it close proximity to a Santa Fe rail line soon prompted the board of trustees to consider a move to another location and they chose a hillside in the community of Eagle Rock a few miles north.

I’ve never visited Oxy, though I’ve lived in Glendale just to Eagle Rock’s west for 35 years. So, on a sunny afternoon(good for IR), I headed to Oxy to get some shots. It’s really a pretty campus and while small, I found myself getting a bit lost on occasion. I didn’t make it all the way up the hill, but I’ll return and try to on my next visit.

The campus may look familiar, it’s been used for many movies and TV series. The most notable alumnus is probably former Congressman and Secretary of HUD, Jack Kemp. He was a star quarterback for their football team and the stadium is named for him. While he didn’t graduate from Oxy, President Obama spent his first 2 college years at Oxy before transferring to Columbia.
