War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Foggy and way-warmer this early Thursday morning up here along California’s northern coast — no frost on the ground today! Yesterday, President Obama unveiled a massive gun-control agenda — and the shit hit the fan from all the crazed people who believe guns are sacred and must be kept close to the breast or else…
Clear and cold again on a early Wednesday along California’s northern coast and the news cycle this morning looks like it’s eating shit for breakfast. Gun-play at two schools yesterday, and this the continuing sad refrain from all these tragedies: “There were no witnesses in the buildings,†Greiner said. “Of course, it’s a tragedy and…
(Cartoon found at The Big Picture). Then, maybe this wisdom from George Carlin: Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important…
Clear and a bit chilly this early Tuesday morning along California’s northern coast as 2013 continues to move at a fairly-rapid pace into a new year. History is right now. Just a side note on Aaron Swartz — he was facing decades in prison: It should be noted that Swartz faced such a stiff sentence because…
Clear and cold again this Monday morning along California’s northern coast — the weekend seems to be getting shorter! My first-ever ‘adult‘ job while a high school sophomore was for Avis-Rent-A-Car, which had facilities at a Pure Oil gas station in my Florida neighborhood — I later worked for station itself as a gas pumper…
The chronicle of Aaron Swartz got a little more twisted this afternoon with the inclusion of the US Secret Service into the supposed legal case against him — I really don’t understand how the freakin’ Secret Service could/should be involved in a case like this. Reportedly, Swartz was arrested in July 2011, charged with illegally…
“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen.…
In an age of re-occurring extreme weather, odd natural phenomenon and other assorted nefarious events, strange this situation has gone nearly un-reported by the MSM: The growing sinkhole is 1,200 feet south of La. 70 South between Grand Bayou and Bayou Corne. Current estimates have the sinkhole, believed to have been caused by a failed…
Another rainy early morning here on California’s northern coast — and wet is the word through the weekend. And speaking of weather, and guns: Apparently both too hot-slick to handle. Yesterday, as Joe Biden was conducting a gun-control meeting in DC with various armament factions, including the NRA, a 16-year-old kid shot up a high…
Raining and a bit gloomy here this early Thursday morning along California’s northern coast, another day in the life. And life in the US, despite all the cliff-hangers, is mostly happy…but that could be the problem: What they found is that as people place more importance on being happy, they become more unhappy and depressed.…
