Sympathy for the Republican
As of today, Republicans have rescinded the longstanding policy of allowing the media to ask questions of coming and going senators in hallways at the Capitol. Now reporters must get permission from the Senate Rules Committee before asking a question. I could go on a rant about how this is just one more step toward […]
Good grammar is essential

Momma flying squirrel
Marty’s photo of the day #2208: My home office has big windows, with a beautiful view of the mountains and the forest below. Two weeks ago, I happened to look out just in time to see a flying squirrel go by, with a gray squirrel in hot pursuit. The flying squirrel landed at the base […]
Rant of the day
Unless something happens later to grab my attention, I don’t feel particularly ranty today. So here’s my rant of the day: rant.
Is it safe to come out yet?
Marty’s photo of the day #2207: “The orange lunatic is STILL president? Let me know when it’s safe to come out.” (Gopher tortoise, photographed in Florida)
Separating a verbal gaffe from intentional racism
Here in the United States, we most definitely have a racism problem. As we work together on fighting racism, we need to avoid hyper-overreaction and be able to separate a verbal gaffe from intentional racism. Here’s an example of a verbal gaffe: Bill Maher calling himself a “house nigger. Here’s an example of intentional racism: […]
Pig-tailed macaque
Marty’s photo of the day #2206: When I photographed this pig-tailed macaque on the island of Borneo, the first thought that came to my mind was, “I know where the creators of Star Trek got the idea for Spock’s ears.
Eve digests her deer
Marty’s photo of the day #2205: On September 11, 2001, Eve arrived, via Federal Express, from a breeder in Ohio. All air traffic had been halted on that day, but somehow she made it through. She was so small, she fit into a fruit cup. Now at more than seven-feet-long, she is about a foot […]

Hey, Republicans! A few of my Democratic friends have criticized me for being too hard on you. Being a liberal, one of the requirements I put on myself is to be open-minded. That being the case, here is your chance to tell me to shut up. For this discussion, let’s start with some basic facts: […]
Newborn morning
Marty’s photo of the day #2204: One of the things I enjoy most about my early morning bike rides is that babies of many different species are out and about. In the case of this newborn calf, she was out for maybe five minutes.
