War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High overcast with moonshine clouding the skies this way-early Wednesday morning on California’s north coast and here we are in the middle of the week — time flies when you’re near-nuts. And no…unlike most hounds, I will not be chasing the Weiner — that ultra-hot dog needs to take a rest. (Illustration found here). This morning…
Unbelievable but true — it’s Monday! And overcast and chilly this morning on California’s north coast as we gear up for another fact-tested work week. All is well. Big climax this morning — Kate is in labor, and a royal baby to due at any micro-second. The world awaits and will apparently hold it’s collective…
Well, here we are — Friday! And it’s the normal ground fog and chilly this morning on California’s north coast and a way-early time right now, but it will be later soon. Oh, no — I feel the vapors coming: “Rolling Stone is a music magazine, not the Taliban Times,” so says one nit-twit on…
Another overcast early morning this Thursday on California’s north coast, but as the case the last few weeks, sunshine will most-likely break the gloom by noon time. The weekend now only hours away. Beyond the cycle of the George Zimmerman fallout, there’s continuing saga of the average Joe on America’s streets, caught in the watchful…
Here we are smack-dab in the middle of the week already — routine overcast and chilly on California’s north coast this morning as we descend toward the weekend. Doing a work week is really, really getting old. So, let us abandon for just for a moment a 22-year-old actress beating the bloody shit out of…
Another Monday morning here on California’s north coast — as it is all over — and we begin a work week again. At least, the weather lately has been about near-perfect for this area of warm sunshine styled by a cool breeze. Time might be flying, but there’s still five work days ahead of toil…
Although seemingly obvious from the beginning, George Zimmerman’s trial turned into a kind of legal theatrical farce, and the outcome predictable, though still fairly shitty, and fairly harsh. The US appears in the throes of a crazy, wing-nut gun-a-mania. One piece of commentary via Miss Emily Dickinson: “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I…
Overcast this early Friday on California’s north coast and here we are again on the cusp of another weekend — can’t get here soon enough. Time flies even when you’re doing absolutely nothing — there are two, and only two, major political parties in the US and one of those is nothing more than a…
Earlier this afternoon, just after work, and on an initial surf to catch up on the news via the InerWebs, up pops another explosive Eddie Snowden tidbit: Microsoft has collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users’ communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company’s own encryption, according…
Fog-bound again this early Thursday and a bit on the chilly side for this part of California’s northern coast — the sunshine will burn through before mid-day, always does. Life is expectant. The NSA/surveillance shit-storm thrust out into the public by young Eddie Snowden has indeed ignited the US public into questioning whether all this…
