Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

This really is a full service blog.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

No one could have predicted…

In my day, never was longer.

Folks,

We’re trying a new feature here, so let’s see how it goes for the next week or so before it’s fully automated.

This post is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.

So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are.

Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!

 

Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice

More Poco Pix – after the fold!

Poco sez, "No dogs in purses here in Marble Canyon, AZ."

These might be interesting to some. Monday at the Grand Canyon as a winter storm blew in. The first three were taken less than 30 minutes apart. The first being at the Desert View (Watch Tower) entrance, the second one about 1/2 way between that entrance and Mather Point overlook. The third one was at Mather Point….very unhappy tourists. We barely made it back out the Desert View entrance…the park closed that road 5 cars behind us around 3:30 pm.
Signed,
Poco (and Quinerly)

And..we have pictures…with Poco….after the fold! Thanks to all picture submitters, and please, send more – lots of us love to see what you share!

We Have Poco!
We Have Poco!

 

Taken in the back of what I call my “Two Bedroom (Ford) Escape with Poco.” (We are over packed and sleeping in the car for 4 nights out of a 6 weeks road trip in two national parks and one state park in Utah). Meet Poco! He was an inner city street dog for at least 2 years. Rescued by Stray Rescue in St. Louis and my companion for almost 3 years. The picture was taken in the overcrowded Grand Canyon Village on Friday. Poco is saying, “Get me the f*ck out of this hell hole.” We had just had an argument over women with dogs in purses and his lack of understanding about guard rails at the Grand Canyon.❤

Submitted by: And, yes…this is that long winded Quinerly chick.

 

Next, we have something beautiful:

 

Where it was taken: My house
When: Sunday evening, the 26 of Feb.
Commenter nym: max
Other notes or info about the picture: Thanks to global warming the roses in the basement got to come out early and one of them bloomed. (And to think: a year and month ago at this time, we were having a blizzard with 42 inches of snow in 36 hours.) So here’s the rose of winter, because the rose bushes now go back inside the basement due to the freeze coming this week.

 

Last for the day is something called Prescott Cactus. I didn’t know the submitter’s nym so I’m not sharing the name in case it’s private. Given the subject, light, and title, we’re most likely looking at either Prescott, AZ or Phoenix, AZ (my money’s on Prescott, pronounced Pres-kitte). I’ve been there a few times as my sister is buried near Prescott so I stop there to get some food, yellow roses for her grave, etc.
