Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

The words do not have to be perfect.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Books are my comfort food!

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Trump should be leading, not lying.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

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.
