Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

No one could have predicted…

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans in disarray!

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

Second rate reporter says what?

Everybody saw this coming.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

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

 

Been planning something like this for a while, this is just some I’ve already collected. Most from film prints scanned on a *meh* scanner. Hope they transfer ok.

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!

    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.
