Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Let there be snark.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

This fight is for everything.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The willow is too close to the house.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

On the Road and In Your Backyard

This post is in: , ,

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

Good Morning All,

This weekday feature is for Juicers who are are on the road, traveling, or just want to share a little bit of their world via stories and pictures. So many of us rise each morning, eager for something beautiful, inspiring, amazing, subtle, of note, and our community delivers – a view into their world, whether they’re far away or close to home – pictures with a story, with context, with meaning, sometimes just beauty. By concentrating travel updates and tips here, it’s easier for all of us to keep up or find them later.

So please, speak up and share some of your adventures and travel news here, and submit your pictures using our speedy, secure form. You can submit up to 7 pictures at a time, with an overall description and one for each picture.

You can, of course, send an email with pictures if the form gives you trouble, or if you are trying to submit something special, like a zipped archive or a movie. If your pictures are already hosted online, then please email the links with your descriptions.

For each picture, it’s best to provide your commenter screenname, description, where it was taken, and date. It’s tough to keep everyone’s email address and screenname straight, so don’t assume that I remember it “from last time”. More and more, the first photo before the fold will be from a commenter, so making it easy to locate the screenname when I’ve found a compelling photo is crucial.

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

 

Today, finally some pictures from valued commenter Le Comte de Monte Cristo, fka Edmund Dantes. I have more to post and hope he sends more. We’re using a big submission that won’t publish to debug and then you’ll see their glory.

So we overnighted on a boat in Halong Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin

The views were stunning

These are Karst pillars, basically big limestone structures

 

More Vietnam!

The monkeys of Ha Long Bay

So there are colonies of monkeys living in the Karst structures of the bay. They have no shame – the alpha male and alpha female were going at it for our amusement (I didn’t video that – felt perverted). Anyway, he’s not much of a cuddler.

 

Thank you so much Le Comte de Monte Cristo, fka Edmund Dantes, do send us more when you can.

 

 

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

 

One again, to submit pictures: Use the Form or Send an Email

    Oh, I have a LOT more. Hoi An, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City from the Rex rooftop, Cu Chi tunnels, Siem Reap, Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, rice paddies and elephants and Hmong villages and monks in Laos…

    Just popping in to say hi from Bangkok, I made it! Very hot and humid (of course), more than I remember from when I was last in Thailand. Most of my group is Canadian, and very sympathetically commiserating with me about Our National Embarrassment.

    Niiice.

    Also, is that type of primate known to live in a group? I don’t know my monkeys. If not a cuddler I hope the guys at least do housework and don’t call it “babysitting” when they are watching their own offspring.

    @ThresherK:

    My recollection was that they were a type of macaque. They were pretty much all up in each other’s faces, so it looked to be a clan grouping.

    Alpha dude not only doesn’t cuddle, he’s pretty much an asshole out for himself….
