War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear, but cold and chilly this way-too-early Monday here on California’s north coast — the weather is pointing in the right direction. Winter’s on the way, or something else, more weird. An environment that’s changing is bringing together unlikely peoples. A few days ago, two people were attacked by polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba, mainly due…
Oh, sweet, sweet Friday — high overcast with some twinkling stars visible here on California’s north coast this way-early morning as we prepare for the weekend. Look’s like somebody’s got a case of the Fridays. One guy who’s got a bad case of a the ‘second term,’ is President Obama — this year has been…
Fog again this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we get ready to finish this quick-nothing work week. Middle-of-the-night health problems has caused a shit-feeling early, and the rest of the particular day I hope is better. We’ll see. A lot of shit is happening all over the world, but a most of it…
Drizzling rain and a bit windy this way-too-early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we stumble further into the week. Nutcase times we do live in, as we travel along. Guns and more guns — in Denver, police arrested a couple of juveniles this morning after they broke into a middle school, and then created a…
Snoop-dogs ain’t no tiny wieners — in the Guardian yesterday: But the documents reveal, too, the darker side of the NSA. It is indiscriminate in the information it is collecting. Nothing appears to be too small for the NSA. Nothing too trivial. Rivals, enemies, allies and friends – US citizens and ‘non-Americans’ – are all scooped…
Clear and way-chilly this way-early Thursday morning on California’s north coast, a quiet repose for one our more-dumb holidays — Halloween. Even with the good weather, business for the liquor store I manage has tanked and shit-economics is to blame. Our worse business spot for the year is the deep crevasse between Labor Day and…
Clear and chilly again this way-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, the moon hanging like a bright fingernail in the eastern sky. This morning some ugly from DC — both came yesterday via the heavens. First, the first Pakistani victims of a US drone strike testified in Congress. Rafiq Rehman and his two children, Zubair,…
Clear and chilly this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — might be the same set-up as yesterday when fog rolled in just before dawn bringing some cold temperatures. But as in the nature of things, sunshine arrived about mid-day and the afternoon was gorgeous. Who knows. President Obama seems to know the nature of…
In less than six short months, out has popped a storyline that just still won’t go away — America’s big spy agency is shown to be a cankered sore on a near-day-to-day basis. Now, the Angela Merkel (and near-about everybody else on the planet) episode. Mark Urban at the BBC summed up this farce of ‘intelligence’…
Surprise, surprise on Monday morning — crystal-clear skies with twinkling stars, a rare sight for us here on California’s north coast the last few weeks. Until right now, fog and more fog. And a welcome sight for an otherwise just another self-loathing, asshole Monday. Shit over the weekend makes one wonder if everyday isn’t Monday.…
