Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

And so it is for the politically and morally bankrupt Kevin McCarthy.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

People are complicated. Love is not.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Come on, man.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

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

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

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

There are no moderate Republican – only extremists, and cowards.

On The Road – Albatrossity – Bartlesville OK

This post is in: Albatrossity, On The Road, Photo Blogging

And we’re back – good morning everyone!

 

Around the first of the year in 2020 we traveled with some friends (who are both architects) to Bartlesville Oklahoma. That may not sound like much of a tourist destination to your jaded elites on the left and right coasts, but it is worth a visit for the history and the architecture aspects. We stayed in the H.C. Price Tower, which is an arts center, and which also contains several hotel rooms and a great restaurant. The Price Tower is Frank Lloyd Wright’s tallest structure and only skyscraper, although at 19 stories, it also doesn’t really fit that description in most people’s minds. H.C. Price was an oil pipeline and construction magnate (as well as an aficionado of mid-century modern architecture), and his corporate offices were housed in the tower, dubbed the Prairie Skyscraper, after it was built in 1956. Wright compared it to “the tree that escaped the crowded forest”, and its unique cantilevered design is a marvel of both beauty and engineering. And you can stay there, IN a Frank Lloyd Wright building, which is an experience all in itself. See https://www.pricetower.org for more details.

Other attractions in the area include Woolaroc, formerly the ranch of Frank Phillips (Phillips Petroleum originated in Bartlesville), and the Phillips home, which you can tour and get an idea of how it was to be obscenely wealthy in the early 20th century in a place well away from either coast. Phillips was interested in Native American artifacts and art, and Wollaroc has a great museum and gallery devoted to those themes, as well as hiking trails, and a large collection of bison, elk and exotic deer and antelope.
