Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

No one could have predicted…

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

Be a wild strawberry.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

He really is that stupid.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

We will not go back.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

We found this place on Cedar Key* last year and liked it so much we made reservations for this year when we left, so here we are again. It’s got to be the funkiest little RV park I’ve ever seen. Five motel rooms and nine RV sites (full hookups) all of them with a view of the water and great sunsets out the back. And let’s not forget the Tiki Bar which does a pretty good business, judging from the cars, pickups, and Harleys parked along the street in front of the place. I can attest that the barkeep makes a mean Rum Manhattan.

* Not one of “the” Keys, this is on the Gulf Coast north of Tampa.

    I’ve passed by the pictured Tiki Bar many times but have never stopped — looks like a pleasant place to camp! We like Cedar Key and visit regularly, but when staying overnight, we rent places within easy walking distance of Dock St. and/or rent golf carts that aren’t allowed to cross the bridge on Hwy 24.

    Ancestors on my dad’s side were among the early settlers in Levy County, mostly Irish immigrants lured by land grants that the government doled out to displace native populations in the 1840s. I sometimes wonder what they’d think of the place if they could see it today. ;-)

    From your pictures, who cares!  Looks great!  Hopefully they had some local restaurants with great food to make it even better.

    @frosty:

     

    It feels like 100 degrees and it’s not yet 10 in the morning. Without a cloud to hide behind, Jack E. Davis is wearing a black shirt, brown pants and no hat, his freckled scalp left to simmer in the sun. He never once complains about the heat—a Florida boy through and through. We’re on Cedar Key, a barrier island three miles from the mainland, about an hour west of Gainesville. The island city is a vestige of Old Florida, where some parts are only accessible by boat and generations of fishermen still ply their trade. The key is also the subject of the final chapter of Davis’s 2018 Pulitzer Prize-winning history, The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea, a book The New York Times called “a beautiful homage to a neglected sea.”

    @frosty: What’s that vehicle you’re using to pull that Sonic?

    Beautiful water and sunset!

    @raven: I read that on your previous recommendation. Excellent

    ETA: Sometimes the plot goes a little off the rails but Randy Wayne White captures Florida history and geography well in his Doc Ford novels.

    Those pictures really do give the feel of Old Florida. Seems much friendlier than DeSantis Florida.

    @Betty: There are some funky places in the panhandle where the folks can be really friendly and, at the same time, the hardest of hard core Rs.

    The pictures reflect 1000 words that describe the feelings of kinda-funky homey Florida and dynamite sunsets.
