I can't watch or listen to that over-caffeinated Steve Kornaki wannabe... as soon as they go to his Big Board, I dive for the remote.

Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore...

I miss John Prine.

Since it's all a grift, and he's only in it for the cash, do you think he'd leave if we started a Go Fund Me Resignation drive? I'd prefer to see him prosecuted and imprisoned, but if we could all just chip in a few dollars to bribe him out of office, wouldn't it be worth it?

While on holiday in Scotland, my wife and I discussed American gun laws with an Australian couple who couldn't understand why we allow private ownership of weapons of war. We couldn't explain it to them, because WE DON'T UNDERSTAND, EITHER. They have to have a permit to own a MACHETE there...

I believe he missed on purpose. Nothing about that "assassination attempt" is legit. Nothing.

Just wondering if any of my BlueSky birders have used a prop for their bird photography? I found this twisted vine in the woods near our house, put a coat of stain on it, and mounted it above a shepherd's pole feeder for these photos.

Wish I could. I've detested that empty-headed cloud of hairspray since she arrived at Legislative Plaza in Nashville as a state rep. If she has an original thought, it will be her first. Marsha's always willing to hold forth in front of the cameras for her spot on the Pander Express.

I wish Tennessee had at least one Senator we could be proud of. Marsha f’n Blackburn is an embarrassment, and will soon be humiliating us from the Governor’s office. Sigh…

I’m going to go get more tomato plants this morning.

Zappa saw this coming.

I've already planted a row of green beans, so I'm ready to relax with a cup of coffee!

Everyone does! Couldn't believe he asked that question! Told my wife and she almost dropped her coffee. And the guy's a General Sessions Judge! We talk daily!

On the other hand, no one in my circle of friends knows more Lonesome Dove and Monty Python trivia... So there's that.

Except for that pesky requirement that a candidate be born in America.

Pipe cleaner effect. That colonoscopy prep has nothing on Costco coffee...

Got a text from my best friend, and in my reply I asked, "Is he dead, yet?" and that fool asked, "Is WHO dead???"

I'm rethinking this friendship. Anyone who knows me well knows damn well who I'm asking about.

Every time...

Something happens shortly after I have mine... and that something requires a nearby toilet. Thought I'd plant beans before the morning constitutional today.

Personally, I'm counting on that diet of Big Macs and Diet Cokes to end this Reign of Error for us.

I was crawling around in my garden planting a row of green beans at 6:15AM, before my first cup of coffee.

Just realized... I had my knee pads on before Lindsey Graham today.

Trump Sidelined by His Own Aides in Daring Iran Rescue Over Fears He’d Jeopardize Mission: WSJ Trump was kept at a distance and updated via phone only at “meaningful moments” according to a senior administration official.

They had to conceal details of a secret rescue mission from the President to avoid having him reveal intelligence to our enemies.

That's our Commander in Chief, being kept away from the Situation Room out of fear he'd Tweet details.

FFS...

I'm so sick of this idiot. His voice. His scribble. His stupid fucking face. So sick of it all...

Nice to meet you, Mzglo! Hang in there...

We stopped at an overlook in the Great Smoky Mountains one afternoon, hoping to get a nice shot of a mountain sunset. While we waited for the planet to rotate into a more picturesque point of view, I spotted this bumblebee gathering pollen from a nearby flower in the clover. Someone told me that particular plant is a rare find, but I don't know enough about plants to verify.

A butterfly on our irises.

These two moths (am I right about that?) in a mirror pose on either side of a thistle blossom caught my eye.

The bumblebee (and tiny ant) on this blossom were captured behind the Discovery Center in the Murfree Springs wetlands in Murfreesboro, Tn. The burst of color made a nice print when enlarged! My wife has the photo framed and hanging in her office.

Plan to step away from the political abyss for the day, so I thought I'd pull up some of my non-bird nature photos, letting the bees, butterflies and moths have the spotlight for a change. Wishing everyone a day of sanity, while we reboot for another week in the spin cycle.

Too bad this country doesn't have a functioning Security and Exchange Commission, or a functioning Congress, or a Dept of Justice, or a functioning Supreme Court, or patriots in the cabinet who could remove a domestic threat to democracy.

Yeah, if we had any of those things, America would be fine.

Russia’s Alpha Bank pinged the server at Trump Tower over 100 times in 2016.
The Mueller Report

The corruption is so blatantly in-your-face that we've become numb to it... one scam after the next. If we had a functioning Congress, a functioning ethics committee, a functioning DoJ, and anyone in the FBI willing to investigate, we could stop this.
If...
