Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

We still have time to mess this up!

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Here’s one.  But I don’t have any notes, so will depend on Albatrossity & other accomplished birders to identify it.

Yellow billed storks fishing for long skinny fish (eels?).  (I have a short video clip of one of them eating…  )

No notes for this very cool bird.  Albatrossity?

CAMP

I hadn’t realized it was my birthday the day before—until I found birthday greetings when checking email at dinner time.  The staff surprised me tonight with a cake accompanied by a traditional Masi chant, dance & ‘jumping’ contest.  Enchanting.

    I think the white bird in the tree is another Yellow-billed Stork. Could be a White Stork (what is the date for this trip/picture?), but I can’t see enough of the bird to tell.

    The long-tailed black birds are Ruppell’s Starling.

    @Albatrossity: There was another interesting bird in the marsh.  Smaller, kind of rust colored with long red ‘toes’ that walked on top of the vegetable.  I have video of them, but no decent photos…

    @Benw:

    Mongooses is preferable, but mongeese is the kind of word that grows in popularity because of a similar word, i.e., goose and geese.
