War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Quiet again this morning here on California’s northern coast and the roar of the Pacific can be faintly heard in the distance — about opposite on the US eastern seaboard, where bad shit reigns (and rains). So far, not as bad as the picture at left seems to depict (via, of course, The Hollwood Reporter):…
Wet and quiet this morning on California’s northern coast — the damp due to heavy fog during the night, which left the air a bit more warm than usual. A way-different story to the way-east as some bad shit is about to hit the fan hard — the US mid-Atlantic seaboard is bracing itself up…
Thick ground fog here this morning along California’s northern coast, but above the mist is clear skies and the dawn breaking from the east. Quiet here, but not so where that dawn’s first light originates — the eastern half of the US is in for some bad shit the next few days, especially the next…
Clear this early Friday along California’s northern coast, though, rain is forecast for next week and winter’s coming whether we like it or not. The US east coast has to feel a bit in the gun-sights of apprehension as Hurricane Sandy, already called a hybrid whopper and “Frankenstorm,” could strike hard early next week —…
Jolting Joe Biden letting the baby cry during a speech yesterday in Ohio (via HuffPost): “I don’t blame that baby for crying,” he said, over audible wails from a child in the crowd. “You know what, she just realized what it means if Romney gets elected. She is out there – God love her. Hi,…
Overcast and rainy this morning along California’s northern coast — and it’s been a keen-edge cold, too, giving rise to the winter a-coming just around the corner. Our wetness is just part the season’s first major storm, which has dumped near two-feet of snow on the northern Sierra Nevada’s and spawned a record-tying five tornadoes…
Last night another display of how US governance has seemingly reached the surreal level as a one-sided debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney revealed a GOP endorsement of a Democrat president. Romney agreed so much with Obama all during the debate, one wonders if his well-coiffed head had been shoved way-up his ass. Sweating…
Rain and deep darkness this morning on California’s northern coast, lending a sense of apprehension to this the beginning of a new work-week, and an acute awareness of something big is a-foot. Earthquakes, maybe — we had a 3.5 yesterday afternoon just 10 miles south of where I now sit on my ass, but alas…
Just about everybody but Republicans know Mitt Romney lies out his ass — if he can’t come up with any kind of falsehood, he’s speechless. Eclectablog takes a look at Politifact‘s bullshit meter: For statements that were ruled to be “True†and “Mostly Trueâ€, it’s Obama and Biden at 45.0 percent, Romney and Ryan at…
(Illustration found here). Last night at the Al Smith Memorial Dinner in New York, a big political-bullshit laugh-fest where the public-servant 1 percent pretends they’re human, Mitt Romney attempted some side-splitting humor: In discussing how he prepares for the debates, Romney said his strategy was to “find the biggest available straw man and mercilessly attack…
