Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Infrastructure week. at last.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Let there be snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Today, pictures from valued commenter otmar.

On Sept 26th I had to attend a meeting at the other side of Vienna’s 1st district. As it was a nice day, I braved the masses of tourists and walked over. Here are some of the impressions on the way:

This is the Austrian State Opera.

Strolling down the Kärnterstraße, I arrived at the center of Vienna: St. Stephen’s cathedral.

Taken on 2018-09-26 00:00:00

The original design of the cathedral called for two spires, but due to financial issues only the south tower got built.

That side of the church is also one of the bases of the Fiaker, the traditional horse carriages which are quite popular with the tourists.

Thank you so much otmar, 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.

    Nice pictures.

    The Wikipedia links are screwed because of the short line width.

    The pictures have put me in a mood. The morning will be very good coffee, fresh pastry and Mozart piano sonatas.
