Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

This blog will pay for itself.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Fight them, without becoming them!

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

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

Happy Friday, everybody (and for those – ahem, Amir – past the date line and already into tomorrow, Happy Saturday)

Today we have a submission from realbtl, a commenter blessed to live surrounded by the natural beauty of (as I recall) Montana and environs.  I do hope to get out that way some year and see some of these amazing rural landscapes with my own two eyes! I expect I’ll make another mad dash to Colorado come mushroom season 2020, but won’t have the time to wander further West or North.  Alas…

 

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to submit!

 

I live about 40 min. from the west entrance to Glacier NP.  During the summer the main part of the park is a zoo so I sometimes head over to the less busy east side.  Here are some shots of a trip I took last June.

The Blackfeet Nation owns a lot of the east side approaches.  We took a swing away from the Front Range for most of these.  I highly recommend this area to anyone who wants to escape some of the tourists.

That’s all for now.  I’ll post up some off season inside the park pix later.  Thanks to Alain for this feature.  I mostly lurk but always check the Road.

    Actually, Malaysian Standard Time is only 13 hours ahead of US Eastern Standard time. It’s Friday evening here as I type this. And is there no love for Viva Brisvegas?

    I only really ever saw the eastern side from outside the park because I came by train from Chicago to Glacier Park. It’s a glorious vision to see the mountains grow bigger and bigger from the plains as you head west. It is still one of my most favorite vacations ever. And visit soon. Glacier Park’s glaciers are rapidly vanishing.

    I’m going to be one of those irritating tourists next July, realbtl. Sorry. Badlands, Glacier, and Yellowstone over 2.5 weeks. It’s the whole reason I bought my camera last month.

    Camped and hiked Glacier NP last fall for the first time.  Going back in 2020 for more.  Can’t get enough.

    Glacier’s east side is fantastic!  Access to several big lakes is from the east.  The plains to the east of the park are flower filled alpine meadows for many square miles.  I didn’t expect to be wowed because of the hundreds of miles I’ve hiked in Mt. Rainier and the North Cascades but Glacier is the equal with sunnier weather.

    Great photos, astounding geography. I can see why people would hold that mountain sacred — wish that we all held all our evironment so.
