War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast, quiet and warm this early Friday on California’s north coast — so still crickets can be heard faintly chirping. Just a few days ago, there was frost on the ground and freezing temperatures. In the wake of guns, guns and more guns, and Beyoncé lip-synching, climate change has taken a deep-back seat to all…
Ground fog, misty and warm this early Thursday morning along California’s northern coast, a way-direct contrast to the frigid, icebox temperatures back east. My youngest daughter in Minneapolis, Minnesota, told me last night over the phone it was ONE DEGREE outside. And that’s just pure crazy. Also nuts is being offline and depending on the…
Overcast and warm this Wednesday morning here along California’s northern coast — and deep in frustration. Last Friday afternoon, we were burglarized — the crank-headed assholes stole my new laptop along with a six-year-old Dell from up in my daughter’s room. The computers were apparently the only items taken, although drawers and boxes were dug…
Ground fog, but clear skies this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast, and it feels like it’s a warmer, too. buffoon Should be a good weekend up here, but back eastward it’s way-Arctic-cold for the upcoming holiday weekend and President Obama’s double-billed second inauguration — he takes the oath of office on Sunday in…
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…
