Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Giving up is unforgivable.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

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

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

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Since we have not had an appearance from THE Mr. Frog lately, I thought we might enjoy seeing a Mr. Frog.

He lived, with many of his kindred, in our Water Garden/Fish Pond. This is how it looked in the early years. As we got older and less able to maintain and repair it, it never looked quite this good again. Charlie the cat and Zeppelin the dog used to join us for cocktails on the patio and to feed the fish. They were just dime store gold fish, but they prospered in the pond. They even survived Wisconsin winters, thanks to a stock tank heater from Fleet Farm.

    Did he never acquire a companion? Other than the cat and goldfish, that is.​

    I found him, but these were a little too easy.

    In the last pic, I halfway expect him to throw on a top hat and cane and start the ol’ softshoe to “Hello My Ragtime Gal”!

    All 5 of these frog photos made me smile.  I think we need frogs every day.

    @WaterGirl: Thank you for rearranging the schedule so that I could be at home for this.  I hope to have a submission of pics from my recent travels to lush tropical places soon.

    @OzarkHillbilly: In the spring, there were tadpoles, so we must assume that there was some companionship going on in the pond.

    Whatever happened to all the Mr. Frog pictures? Did John lose interest in the idea?

    @Elma: Happy to accommodate your schedule, and I will look forward to photos of lush tropical places.

    You can have make it a series if that suits you.  A series  3 or a series of 5 is best because we can have a whole week in some other wonderland.

    That swimming morphing giant tadpole was amazing, thanks for posting that link. I wonder how big it was in real life…

    Mr Frog is great too, very photogenic! Thanks for the good news post — we needed it!
