Marty’s photo of the day #4535: He is risen! Formerly known as the Republican Jesus, the resurrected Trump Jesus isn’t just for worthless prayers after school shootings anymore, he’s also there whenever you need him to justify a minority group to hate. Just pick a group and despise them in Trump Jesus’s name, and it […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4533: During the 2016 Presidential Election season, President Bill Clinton came to little Stevensville, Montana (15 miles away from where I live) to campaign on a flatbed trailer for Hillary Clinton. The 2024 Presidential Election season—forced by the realities of the outdated Electoral College—meant Montana received no such Democratic presidential […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4527: This photo, from San Juan, Puerto Rico, is my response to the crude and bigoted comments about the island at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden Fascist Fuckfest. I captured the image while in Puerto Rico working on my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4803: When President Biden and Convicted Felon Trump argued last night about their golf game, it may have been the single most embarrassing moment in U.S. presidential debate history. I don’t give a fuck about how far either man can hit a fucking golf ball! As a voter, what would […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4795: This is Eve (23 years old) and her daughter Lara Flynn Boa (12 years old). As documented in the Bible (Genesis 3), snakes can talk. And as if proving the Bible true, Eve spoke to me last night! She said, “Thou shall not post the Ten Commandments in all […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4768: As I was going through my photo files, deciding what to post today, I came across this several-year-old photo of Martyman and Mr. Trump Head. Yes, it’s almost as if each snowflake symbolizes something vile done by the whiny little Christian-Right champion. Happy Day After Conviction Day!
Marty’s photo of the day #4742: This is a tiny section of the Duomo di Firenze in Florence. When in Italy, I spent quite a bit of time photographing and admiring the beautiful and spectacular architecture of Catholic Churches. At the same time, I couldn’t help but think about the more than 1 million child […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4735: This photo shows Nellie keeping me company last fall on Vancouver Island. When Nellie joined our family, she was a skinny rescue dog, weighing just 42 pounds. She also had what appeared to be a burn on one of her legs. Yesterday, I wrote about Annie, a rescue dog, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4734: Yesterday, I read a story about Republican Governor Kristi Noem shooting Cricket, her 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, claiming she was “less than worthless” as a hunting dog. It reminds me of another almost certain Republican, Cody Roberts, who made national news a few weeks ago for chasing down a wolf […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4731: I shot this photo of Bill Clinton back in 2008, and it reminds me of how hypocritical Republicans and a little over half of the Christians in the United States are. In 1998, those people were salivating to impeach Clinton for an affair he had with a consenting adult. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4730: I don’t know if I’ll be successful for the entire week, but I have been going through the photo files on my computer, trying to find pictures to post that fit the theme of the first of many criminal trials of the Great-Christian-White-Nationalist-Ordained-By-God-Persecuted-Like-Jesus Donald Fucking Trump. I shot this […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4609: Once Christians can set aside Jesus’s disdain for money as depicted in the Bible, the rest is easy to accept: The enormously wealthy Catholic Church declaring individual bankruptcies to avoid paying court-ordered penalties for child sexual abuse, mega churches and televangelists shoveling in the money while virtually ignoring the […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4608: A few years ago I publicly asserted that over 1 million children have been sexually molested in Christian churches. While I doubt I’m the first to make that claim, two things have surprised me: The first is that I haven’t seen the media ever make such a claim. The […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4607: At this time of year, I often think about my born-again Christian father and the arguments we used to have. He was the kind of Christian that believed the Bible was the literal word of his god. That, of course, meant that the Bible had to be either written […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4606: ’Tis the week before Christmas, and as has become my tradition, I’m going to dig out some of my photos from all over the world, showing the wealth and power of Christian churches, along with the hypocrisy they bring. But please, don’t blame me. I’m only stating inconvenient facts. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4595: My dad, Paul W. Essen, died twelve years ago this week. As anyone who has read my book Hits, Heathens, and Hippos: Stories from an Agent, Activist, and Adventurer knows, my father was a born again Christian to the extreme. In fact, he even believed his god wanted him […]
Marty’s photos of the day #4576: This is the Bear Glacier in British Columbia. I use a different picture of this glacier in my college show, Around the World in 90 Minutes, to talk about climate change (that lake wasn’t there 75 years ago). Deb and I had planned on visiting the Bear Glacier again […]
Marty’s photos of the day #4563: Nellie’s recovery from TPLO (Doggy Tommy John) surgery on her left-rear leg—Day #2. Nellie is such a trooper! Last night Deb and I slept with Nellie on a mattress on the floor of our great room (something will be doing for the next eight-to-twelve weeks). The mattress is much […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4501: I shot this photograph many years ago in New Orleans. I know nothing about this person, but statistically a child would be safer with someone who looks like this than with Christian clergy—a lot safer. So if Republicans really care about children, why are they so bent out of […]
