Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

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

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

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Republicans don’t trust women.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

We do live in interesting times, don’t we?

Wood River, Hopkinton/Richmond RI

Trout fishing. Best memory: hearing a raucous sound from upstream heading towards me: canoers. 2 Colemans come around a bend into view, guys partying, heading downstream using those orange plastic snow shovels to paddle. They threw me a couple of river-chilled Buds as they passed. Did not mind them putting the fish down at all!

Salmon fishing. Again, not me.

    The pictures are perfect for a day like this.   Unlike the president, the pictures ooze calm.

    That first picture, of the fishing boats at a dock at Big Lake, is pretty much my vision of paradise.

    Never been a beach person.

    There’s nothing –– absolutely nothing –– half so much worth doing as messing about in boats.

    Sweet stream and lake pics! And that pelican, they’re like the B-52 of birds, I love their ability to be acrobatic and clumsy at the same time.

    Looks like pretty good scans to me, the last one  has that soi-distant look from the scan, but mostly they look perfect. You think anyone would be interested in 100+ year old WW I photos? I’m scanning those now from my maternal grandfather.

    @J R in WV: yes!  On my list is a visit to France.  Not just the Normandy tour, but the WWI locations.  Been fascinated/horrified by Verdun since I read a kid’s level history as a, well… kid.

    @p.a.:

    He never crossed the Atlantic, worked in a Camp as a mechanic/blacksmith fixing really primitive trucks and shoeing mules to load onto cargo ships. Was known as the strongest man in his coal mine, probably the strongest guy in his Army camp, died young of unfiltered Camels and coal dust in 1951.

    Back then in farming country a good blacksmith was pretty highly regarded, in the early 1900s they all turned into engineers and mechanics. He ran steam engines for the hoist and power plant back in the day.
