Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

This blog will pay for itself.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

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

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

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 everyone,

 

I’m temporarily putting OTR on hiatus through next week, returning February 9. I’ve got a lot going on right now and don’t have spare mental CPU cycles, and I’m sorry about that!

Also, too, we’re running low on submissions, so please consider sharing your world.  One side-effect of the new site is that the focus has shifted to more “travel pics” and while, yes, that’s part of it, OTR is also about seeing YOUR world. It may seem humdrum, everyday stuff to you but for for so many of us, your views, insights, stories, and humor enrich all of us.

As an example, I’m planning to take some pictures of a local cemetery or two. One is more scenic, one more poignant and tugs at my soul. More on that soon, but that’s just an example of me sharing something I find notable or moving in my local milieu.

On that note, with my schedule and upcoming birthday, I’m putting OTR on hiatus until February 9. Going though all this impeachment craziness, I’d prefer to keep running this for my and all our sanity, but I’m pulling myself too thin and this is a simple thing to put aside temporarily.

 

Don’t forget – please submit submit submit!  We’re very low on stored submissions!

 

Have a great day, and days, we shall re-convene soon.

    In two weeks we’re hitching up the trailer for a 4-month post-retirement road trip that includes half a dozen National Parks I’ve never seen. Plus I’ve got pix from earlier trips. And without a day job I’ll have time to organize them!

    I’ll send something from one of last year’s trips soon.

    How on earth did you end up in my pie filter? Thank Watergirl that I could toggle you out easily. Bon voyage and have a good trip. Take care also

    But you did turn up as Catcake, who I love

    Response to Frosty. Why in my piefilter? Who knows.

    I will mention that the blurb for On the Road says this right up front:

    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.

    bolding is mine.

    @Sab: Maybe you were testing the pie filter with a random commenter name(s), and you forgot to take all of them out when you were done?

    But Catcake?  I might have left him in for CatCake :-) just for a little while.

    I’ve got yet more England pics, and I’ll try to dig out some of my happy spring pics from my backyard (literally!).  I’ll work up a couple of submissions for you, Alain.

    Have a great time.

    I submitted a somewhat lengthy OTR a little while ago. Might that be in the bin, or did it go into the ether?

    Happy birthday, Alain! Enjoy your break. I have more Newfoundland pics to submit, and always take lots of pictures at home in New York if anyone would find those interesting.

    The Republican lawyers are whorehouse piano players. What they play or how they play, with the exception loudness, is of no importance.

    @WaterGirl:

    Argh, the memory, she is weak. I assume “Abaco” or “the Bahamas” would have been included. I sent it during our email exchanges. Thanks.

    Anyone remember the “View From Your Window” from the Andrew Sullivan Blog? I know, I know, don’t yell at me but it was interesting and I got my view published. So when talking about our personal view, that was a good example.

    @Skepticat: Did you submit it under your nym? I am not finding it.

    I suppose Alain may have it tucked away somewhere that I can’t see, though I don’t know where that would be.

    Maybe check with Alain after the hiatus?

    edit: you would have received an email confirmation, maybe looking for that would be a good place to start?  Then we would have a date.
