War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Last night, residents of South Florida on the Atlantic coast got a thrill, and probably a quick scare across the skies above them (per NPR): And from another angle: Scrolling around the InterWebs this morning, I couldn’t get any confirmation the object was the projected asteroid scheuled to pass earth last night — from EarthSky…
Another school shooting today and with gun action again a part of American folklore, the perplexity of keeping account of the action is understandable: First, and unrelated this afternoon, a school shooting in Knoxville, Tenn. (ABC News): Police faced gunfire as they responded to reports of a possible gunman at a Tennessee high school Monday,…
Once more, White House press secretary Jen Psaki today popped not only a reporter, but an asshole Republian who doesn’t know his ass from T-Rump’s butt. Psaki can really work: Details via Mediaite this afternoon: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki delivered a curt response to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) for his criticism of President Joe Biden’s social and television media…
(Illustration: ‘The Starry Night,’ by Vincent van Gogh, and found here). A break from the blood-thirsty throes of the nowadays with some idiotic instances of musical crazy awash with non-connecting vibes of absolutely wackiness — beats the living-shit out of T-Rump calling MoscowMitch a sonofabitch, wouldn’t you say, an ass calling the hole? And first,…

‘Anticlimatic‘ would be the word to describe my second COVID-19 vaccine shot this morning, an event most even and easy without the fanfare, mental music and hoopla that seemed to cling to my first dose last month. I was in-and-out of Walgreens here in Merced within just a few minutes, and despite the importance 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.
