Marty’s photo of the day #2298: From my motion-sensing camera in the front yard: a little cuteness for your Thursday.

Donald Trump must be consistent!
Now that Donald Trump has picked Jim Bridenstine (a global warming denier with no science experience) to head NASA, he must be consistent and pick Thomas Röhler (the Olympic gold medalist javelin thrower) to be the White House proctologist.
Beautiful ice or clean air?
Marty’s photo of the day #2297: I can’t remember anytime during my life where the United States has been simultaneously hit in so many directions by environmental disasters (thank the Republicans for voting against the environment at a 95% clip). If you are in the southern US, you have one huge hurricane following another. If […]
Presidenting lessons
Obviously the presidenting lessons Obama gave Little Trumpy didn’t take. So now it’s time for an intervention. All of the living presidents need to show up at the White House, have a sit down with the little guy, and tell him that big boy presidents don’t threaten with nukes.
Arctic Red Fox
Marty’s photo of the day #2296: Here’s another shot from Deb’s and my canoe trip across the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. We saw this red fox far in the distance, as he hunted in a zig-zag pattern. He didn’t change is path, as he approached, and eventually zig-zagged right around us!
Canoeing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
Marty’s photo of the day #2295: Yesterday I featured a photo from Antarctica, so today we will go to the opposite end of the world. This shot is from Deb’s and my canoe trip across the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The land at this spot was incredibly flat, as we were just a day from […]
Humpbacks along Antarctica
Marty’s photo of the day #2294: This is the cost of Antarctica. And if you look closely, you will see two humpback whales.
Sea Lions
Marty’s photo of the day #2293: Sea Lions in the Sea of Cortez. As soon as Deb and I jumped into the water, they were there with us.
I’m totally screwed!
I’m skeptical of any religion that proclaims humans are made in God’s image. Surely, if there is a god, she wouldn’t have copied her unnecessary appendix, disease-prone internal organs, or that Tommy John thingy that inevitably tears after a pitcher signs a multi-million dollar contract. And imagine how disappointing heaven would be if God’s closest […]
A penguin feeds her chick
Marty’s photo of the day #2292: This morning has been a busy one, with a bunch of work-related issues that needed immediate attention. Consequently, I’m late with my photo of the day. And when I’m rushed, I always go to the stable of penguin photos on my hard drive. Let’s see . . . how […]
The Republican Jesus needs . . . your money
Marty’s photo of the day #2280: Once again the Republican Jesus has taken over my photo of the day: “Hey suckers . . . I mean God-fearing patriotic gun-loving conservatives! Our great white leader, Donald Trump, needs your help. Because some libtards couldn’t handle the fact that many Nazis and white supremacists are ‘very fine […]
Trump didn’t go rogue!
It is unacceptable for Trump’s staff, Republican politicians, or Trump voters to say “Trump went rogue” on Tuesday, when he equated Nazi white supremacists with people protesting white supremacists. Trump didn’t go rogue. He went modus operandi! No one who paid enough attention to the presidential campaign to vote should be surprised by even one […]
Borneo Tree Frog
Marty’s photo of the day #2277: This is an unidentified green tree frog that I photographed while backpacking deep in Borneo’s rainforest.
Right-Wingers: Just be consistent!
Because I write liberal newspaper guest columns, right-wingers frequently criticize me in follow-up letters to the editor. I don’t have a problem with their letters. After all, I got to say my side; it’s only fair they get to respond. That being said, I find it amusing that by far their most frequent criticism of […]
Woman rock on guitar!
Marty’s photo of the day #2276: Rock and roll is generally a liberal form of music. Even so, when it comes to guitarists, there is still quite a bit of sexism, as women seldom get the credit they deserve for their ability to play their instruments. I, being a non-sexist kind of guy, insist on […]
What Obama and Trump won’t say
Barack Obama wouldn’t say “Radical Islamic Terrorist,” for fear of offending 1.6 billion innocent people. Donald Trump won’t say “White Supremacist Terrorist,” for fear of offending a huge chunk of his voter base. See? Democrats and Republicans aren’t all that different from each other.
Pat Benatar 36 years later
Marty’s photo of the day #2275: I saw Pat Benatar at the Saint Paul Civic Center in 1981. My opinion back then was that she was better on record than she was on stage. Not that she sucked or anything. She just wasn’t exciting live. I would have never gone to a Pat Benatar concert […]
Yes, let’s do remember who elected Trump
“I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists.” —David Duke, responding to Donald Trump’s call for unity Hmmm . . . While I don’t think standing up for civil rights, health care for all, and protecting the […]
The concert bucket list
Marty’s photo of the day #2274: During the past year, I have been working hard at checking off artists on my concert bucket list. Three of those acts included Joan Jett, Garbage, and Melissa Etheridge. One thing all three had in common was that they performed outdoors on equal bills with other acts. Despite the […]
And Little Donny—if you’re a really good boy, you can take a big girl shower!
Oh, great! Little Donny has just threatened Venezuela. That makes two countries threatened in a single week. Please Melania! This is your opportunity to be the most important First Lady ever. Let Little Donny dress up like a toddler, change his diaper, spank him, and tell him “only big boys get to play with the […]
