Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

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

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Fight them, without becoming them!

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

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Reader photos – November 22, 2016

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.

From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

Submit Your Photos

Here are some more great photos taken by readers of the blog. This one took a while because my blogging time is really curtailed right now, but I hope to do two or three of these a week. I thought this time we would go with a couple of critters. Photographers, feel welcome to talk about gear or technique in the comments.

Hoary Marmot

If you want to participate, email me a link to a couple of your favorite pics on a photo site like Flickr (do not send the image itself please) and I will put them up in open threads. Send a short caption if you want and let me know how you want to be identified. If your computer cannot read our email links at top right, my email is (remove the zeroes): portus0jackson0ii at yahoo dot com. There was a good discussion about sharing photos anonymously in our last photo thread.

***Update***

Looks like I got today’s date wrong. That’s what I get for writing this at 6 am to steal some time before the 3 year old wakes up. If this keeps up I might have to reactivate the old coffee habit…

    @bemused: it almost looks like a painting and would make a gorgeous stained glass window.

    Oh, these are wonderful! The frog is amazing – is that “as taken” or did Auntie do any adjusting?

    I was wondering what the diff is between a marmot and a groundhog, so I looked it up – turns out “marmot” is the name for a lot of ground squirrels (genus Marmota), and includes groundhogs.

    @Gindy51: It would make a great fused glass piece, too – and I’m always on the hunt for images to work with.

    Tim, can we contact the photographers to ask permission to use their images? I may seriously want to try putting that frog in fused glass.
