It was an amazing rainbow. After such a tormenting day of flooding rain, finally way out there in Weld a rainbow appeared directly above the bright red barn as if holding the barn in a bubble.

I was surprised how harsh the comments to the white house rainbow photo. There isn't a nice comment there. They're all, "this is what you think of your voters."
Hey rh, though you're right about the sky almost always being brighter closer to the earth that just isn't the case in this picture. You're mind is telling you to see what you're eyes don't.
Hope and change are bad things. We need to be hopeless and stagnant. Recycle the same old politicians, political habits and political dynasties. Bush/Clinton 2016! Get on that pean to your political hopes now, Chip! I expect full-page propaganda posters ASAP! The negative criticisms of what you hate are yawn-inducing already. We've seen them thousands of times. Onward with the odes and anthems to the things you actually (but are too afraid to show that you) love - the stagnant, recycled predictable America: Bush! Clinton! Repeat the same mistakes over and over again and show your love for an America that goes backwards or remains in ditches, and never gets out!
If you got both the Congress and President you wanted and you still depend on hope, then maybe you should reexamine your faith in government. If you don't have politicians you want then the same reexamination is in order.
Hope is for people without answers. If that's all your guy is offering like a captain in a lifeboat adrift without a star in the sky, then man, did you get ripped off. Why didn't you see that coming? I mean, the guy was saying all along that he was gonna get in that lifeboat and just hope his way around the ocean, and you hopped right in. And everybody knew he never sailed a boat in his life.
Talk about a bunch of bullshit. Hope is for people who admit they don't have everything (answers or otherwise) yet, but know they're getting there.
No non-Republican asked for this Congress, with the worst rating in history, the least accomplishments, the most bungling. The current Congress has a worse approval rating than the Taliban.

Yeah, let's get some new dynasties in here, like the Ozark Mafia and the Choom Gang.
Oh, and Hope? If Ritmo were a little better read, he'd remember that it was the last thing to come out of Pandora's Box and people have been debating ever since whether it was a good thing or the worst of man's troubles.
As for change, China got it in 1949, Russia in 1917, Cuba in 1959, and Germany in 1933

Shouldn't he be standing backwards?
I can think of something else the unicorn could be dropping on him.
It's not a sign unless it's a double rainbow.
Anybody gets a single rainbow.
Notice, by the way, that the sky is darker above the rainbow than below, which is not an accident.
It's a good test of landscape painters, whether they notice this.

So the photo of the rainbow came out like crap.

Smoke Up They Ass
The platitudes keep on coming,
Soporific and mind numbing;
But that's the point to put to sleep
The suckers we be bumming.
Hey rh, though you're right about the sky almost always being brighter closer to the earth that just isn't the case in this picture. You're mind is telling you to see what you're eyes don't.
Either that or I'm going blind.
The various rainbows come from cusps on the light path from sun back to eye, counted by the number of internal reflections inside the raindrops.
A cusp means that a light ray a little higher in incidence misses your eye in the same direction as a light ray a little lower in incidence.
So at that magic angle, there are a more than usual number of rays that hit your eye, each with the same color.
A side effect is that there are missing rays on the other side, and that makes the sky darker in that direction.
The adjacent dark sky isn't darker in the infrared, but you can't see the infrared.

Balls - I feel your pain and frustration, but I don't think Chip is a fan of the Bush-Clinton family dynasty paradigm.
Obama is a disaster, but at least he's got hope and change. It's a dying illusion, but it's still there.
Hillary is nothing but misery.

I'm kind of curious to know what my 4 1/2 year old niece would make of all this.
