Brett Kavanaugh please report to . . .
“On behalf of our nation, I would like to apologize to Brett and his family for the terrible pain and suffering that you have been forced to endure.” —Donald Treason Trump (at Brett Blackout Kavanaugh ceremonial swearing-in) “On behalf of our 65,844,954 sane American voters, I would like to apologize to the rest of the […]
Amazon Rainforest
Marty’s photo of the day #2680: Ever wonder what it looks like standing in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest? Here you go! Now, find your way out. (Photographed in Peru)
The intelligent alligator
Marty’s photo of the day #2679: I love alligators! Here’s a short blurb from my second book, “Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico”: Scientists consider crocodilians, including alligators, to be the most intelligent of the reptiles. Not only can they learn travel patterns of potential prey, […]

The compliant Supreme (Right) Court
Marty’s photo of the day #2677: Readers of my novel Time Is Irreverent take note: President Handley now has his “compliant Supreme Court.”
Stop the vote!
Marty’s photo of the day #2676: Yes, sometimes Martyman has too much to drink and passes out in the gutter. But he never attempts to rape anyone, never sticks his dick in anyone’s face (other than that unfortunate incident with a Tasmanian devil he refuses to discuss), never starts bar fights, never rages in paranoia […]
Tiny, tiny, tiny
Marty’s photo of the day #2675: There are many species of green tree frog in the Amazon Rainforest, often with subtle differences. This is the tiniest one I photographed in Peru. She could fit on your thumbnail.
Yellow wild rose
Oh, the hangover!
Marty’s photo of the day #2673: This is a female elephant seal, on an island off the coast of Antarctica. She looks sick—or like Brett Kavanaugh waking up after a night of light drinking—but she’s perfectly fine. She’s just in the midst of molting.
Republicans are the definition of hypocrisy
Definition of hypocrisy: Republicans refusing to hold confirmation hearings for Supreme Court justice nominee Merrick Garland and ultimately keeping the court seat vacant for 422 days; then having a whiny temper tantrum about a short delay in the appointment of sexual predator, mean drunk, multiple perjurer, cultist nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, while one of his victims […]

Howler Monkey
Marty’s photo of the day #2672: High in the trees, a baby howler monkey reaches out. (Photographed in Costa Rica)
Central American Tree Boa
Marty’s photo of the day #2671: This is a Central American tree boa. Making this photo took multiple attempts, because I was in a kayak on a river in Costa Rica. I’d swing the kayak under the overhanging tree and try to get the shot in focus before the current carried me downstream. Then I’d […]
Greater white-lined bat
Marty’s photo of the day #2670: I photographed this greater white-lined bat inside an abandoned Costa Rican farm house.
Don’t forget to check for octopuses
Marty’s photo of the day #2669: When swimming in the Sea of Cortez, it’s always good to periodically check for octopuses. Hmm . . . I seem to have one stuck to my chest.
Cactus Flower
Marty’s photo of the day #2668: Cactus flower, photographed in the Mojave National Preserve, along the Arizona-California border.
The Castle of the Sad Countess
Marty’s photo of the day #2667: This is the Castle of the Sad Countess, in Spain. Now that Time Is Irreverent 2: Jesus Christ, Not Again! is at my editors, I’m already thinking about having Marty Mann and Nellie Dixon go back to 1461 to visit this castle in Time Is Irreverent 3. In the […]
The widest curtain of water on Earth
Marty’s photo of the day #2666: I took this photo from the copilot’s seat in a bush plane. You are looking at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe/Zambia. This is the widest curtain of water on Earth.
