War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: ‘Reptiles,’ by MC Escher, 1943 (Lithograph), and found here). One of the more-ugly aspects of GaetzGate for me is that the asshole represents the area where I grew up — the Florida panhande. I spent most of my youth there, from third grade through high school graduation (attending Choctawhatchee High School in Fort Walton…
Although I received my second COVID-19 vaccine shot this morning, Merced County where I reside is still in California’s worse purple tier category as apparently the rest of the state seems to be finally getting out from under the coronavirus blanket — per the Merced Sun-Star last Tuesday: Merced County has lagged behind others in…
If the wordage, ‘Before Times,’ has become a catch-pin for life prior to the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, from all indications it could also come to include the period in the next generation or so. The twin beasts of the T-Rump and the coronavirus coming together have fostered a grim future, at least according…
(Illustration: ‘Look, We’ve Got To Improve Our Voter-tracking,’ canvas print by Rpbert Mankoff, and found here). In an obvious reaction to the T-Rump and Republicans in general the past four years (especially the last couple), the majority of Americans are tending to slip leftward in response to the clusterfuck hoisted upon them with GOP-influenced COVID…
(Illustration: ‘Eye,’ by MC Escher, and found here). A way-enormous chunk of Americans are carrying around solid cases of mental disorder of the highest caliber and are prone to fits of pure fantasy even with shit they see with their own freaking eyes and hear with their own asshole ears. I really don’t know if…
In the scope of human events, it becomes near-about impossible to understand how vile and shitty people are when they continually disclose that they’re even worse than how shitty you figured they were at the outset. Yet then they twist a bit, display characteristics beyond-dreadful than the horrifically-bad you assumed just minutes earlier, thusly, you’re…
Here again a Friday. Lately, it seems Monday-thru-Friday whips past in a blur, the weekends slightly slower in time, a more soft few hours, but still clips past frighteningly quick. Right-exactly-now becomes history in a blink. And after a second of two, we’re suddenly a quarter ways into a once new year. And the news…
Another lopsided shit-event at the US Capitol this morning (AM here on the West Coast) when apparently some random guy tried to ram Capitol police with his car, then jumped out with a knife. Two cops were injured, one fatally, and the suspect was shot dead — just WTF: As the situation is developing, some…
Warm-bordering-on-hot this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, with deep, yellow sunshine adding to the sense of heat — summer’s coming way-soon and it’s going to be long and hard. In the news, Republicans top the cycle again for being assholes and nasty-ass fuckers, emitting foul shit from leaning into The Big Lie to…
As the ‘normal‘ is made the new ‘abnormal‘ in this day-and-age, Joe Biden is taking the bull by the horns and moving this country in the right direction despite the over-stuffed spasms of Republicans, who are drowning in bile and ignorance without lifting a finger. Hence, this afternoon the first gathering of Joe’s team: Some…
