War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the stream-scream of things, I haven’t felt like writing these past few days — too much depressing, ugly shit on the news wires, seems to strangle any creative posting on just about any subject matter. Plus, I just feel sad. Zilch for laughs until I spied this: Giggle and then silence, yet here we…
Weekend sensibilities this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley with nice weather coupled with seemingly not much way-horrible news makes relaxing sense. Yet even some good news was reported just a short while ago — a police surveillance team in Stockton, a city about an hour’s drive from where I’m located, has arrested a…
In session, the Jan. 6 committee hearing this afternoon continued to impress on American viewers that the Republican party, and especially the T-Rump of turds, are not playing by any kind of rules, ethics, or any form of acting normal. Despite the over-abundance of actual proof T-Runp tried to ‘steal’ the 2020 election, reweatching the…
(Image found here.) Despite posting about the incident earlier this week, I couldn’t bring myself to even write about the shitty horror of the entire family being killed, especially including an 8-month-old baby girl. There are horrific crimes, and then there are horrendous crimes, and this is a murderous combination. All mostly old news and…
Beyond the dung of baby-like news on a Friday evening — the Twitter machine pops a good T-Rump dump — ugly to showcase the T-Rump in any form, but unhinged, asshole he is without doubt: And further a poser sign of the ludicrous-idiocy of our age: In context: Along with that, the great political satirist…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Self Portrait Facing Death‘ [June 30, 1972], was originally found here.) Less than a year after Picasso finished the artwork above, he was dead from pulmonary edema and heart failure, so the title is fairly apt. He’d lived a good life for 91 years, though. Distraught by his death, his much-younger wife, and…
Rain clouds but no rain to speak of this late afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — maybe we’ll get some more of the wet stuff tonight and tomorrow, but so far it’s been a bust for precipitation for the region. Of course, not so everywhere — maybe ask the folks way-wet in Japan,…
Overcast with on-and-off sprinkling showers this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — fairly-heavy rain forecast for tomorrow, so we’re going to be wet for a couple of days. In scrolling the news this afternoon — and today mostly — did run across a couple of tweets that seemed to tie together the horror…
Scrolling through the news this Friday afternoon, I came across some items of interest. Firsr, I hate optimism when it comes to polls, but I do want to feel good: Nutshell details at The New York Times this morning: The surprising Democratic strength has been bolstered by falling gas prices and President Biden’s success at…
Another T-Rump White House tell-all book offers up the starling news the Orange Turd is a horrible, horrible human being and way-fucking mentally disturbed. Surprised? Of course not. Yet it’s still way-unbelievable that this mean, nasty, unhinged asshole was the most powerful man on earth for four years, and how we all dodged any number…
