War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Crystal-clear skies empowering still-brighter sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Off the normal topics of shitty T-Rump-related news — his ‘hush money‘ criminal trial numbed the senses today again in NYC; he explained to Time magazine just how horrid and undemocratic a second term of his would actually be; among a filthy…
Ugly on a Friday — overcast this near noon in California’s Central Valley, yet nothing like the hideous goings-on back East. History’s real-time living sucks. In a for instance: T-Rump this morning being the piece-of-shit asshole with the horrible, shitty irony of being a total-creep of an unfaithful husband (Business Insider): It’s better than a…
Seventeen years ago this afternoon Compatible Creatures sprung forth out into the InterWebs. And later that evening in April 2007, my first post — aptly entitled, ‘Word‘ — was published, and from then henceforth life hasn’t been the same. The first-ever post was wordly-short and notedly on point: In an age where events are known…
I’d never seen this photo from June 2018 — I was then being prepared for surgery and wasn’t too much into scrolling the InterWebs. This the lede from The Hill piece on the pix: ‘Comedian Kathy Griffin and adult-film actress Stormy Daniels posed together in a photo this week raising a middle finger to President…
Terrifying shit for a noonish Friday — news dump literally. A couple of items off the T-Rump’s fourth day in New York on that ‘hush money‘/financial campaign-fraud case, one a terrifying outside-the-courtroom incident: Strange, more-than-meets-the-eye news clip. Some muted details: Eyewitness News talked to a witness who said the man was holding papers in Collect…
One of the greatest guitar pickers ever, Dickey Betts, has died. He was 80. And not only notable in music: Beyond reality when one band would have two, TWO, most-gifted guitarists — Betts and Duane Allman. From today’s The New York Times obit: “Duane and I had an understanding, like an old soul kind of…
Once again the T-Rump was in a New York courtroom today in part two of his ‘hush money’ trial with Stormy Daniels, and, apparently, he has so much legal shit happening all over in so many jurisdictions he’s bored out of whatever little mind he has left inside that horrid, cruel and nasty slack face.…
Bright sunshine and well-warmed-up temperatures this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another summer preview day, though, nice in its where-did-springtime-go kind of way. In scrolling just now, I came across a cut-to-the-bone analysis of the T-Rump; must share (great h/t Tengrain): Highlight example of O’Donnell’s flair for wordage (via Mediaite): ‘“That’s a…
A wish connection for this Thursday afternoon in light of the death of OJ Simpson and the orange-turd-of-an-asshole T-Rump: Of course, the LA Times story has been edited correctly, but not before (Newsweek): ‘“Long before the city woke up on a fall morning in 2017, Trump walked out of Lovelock Correctional Center outside Reno, a…
Crystal-clear, blue skies, and sharp, clean sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. And warm temps, too — highs in the mid-to-upper 70s with a cool, nice-feeling breeze. Of itself a gorgeous time. A day, however, most-likely an undercurrent preview for a hot, shitty summer to come. Yet right now enjoy while it’s…
