War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thick ground fog and a deep quiet this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast — an obscuring haze seemingly covering the whole, wide world. Especially in DC. President Obama’s so-called “charm offensive” with House Republicans lost its glitter on the likes of John ‘The Boner’ Boehner, who blubbered all kinds of negatives after meeting…
Overcast and quiet this early Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast — either low clouds or high fog, I can’t tell the difference only that there’s no stars in sight. And this the middle of the fabled work-week and a lot of garbage has piled up by now. The first two days is for…
Overcast and still warm this way-early Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, and if the recent past is any indication, this day will either be foggy, sunny or a mixture of both — who’s to really say? Weather up here is almost the same year ’round, not like just about everywhere else. Beyond the noodle…
Razor cuts the throat all the time — and all that jazz. Those highly-intelligent ‘sequester’ budget cuts are also striking the musical heart — up here on California’s north coast the US Air Force Band won’t be doing tooting its horns this year at the fabled Redwoods Coast Jazz Festival due to f*cked-up funding. Not only…
Drizzling rain through a thick ground fog — this early Friday weather along California’s northern coast as we begin the weekend outlook with a throat slashing. Today starts the infamous sequester — run for the hills! Or run somewhere. Due to incompetence and nasty indifference, the US Congress along with President Obama are letting the…
Middle of the week — ya-hoo! Unless it’s that Yahoo, and then it’s get thee to the office you lazy home workers! Clear and cold this morning — the moon slightly less-than-round — and the whole sky along California’s north coast has a full dose of white light outlying life in this land of the not-so-fast lane.…
Tuesday morning cold and clear on California’s north coast with rain predicted for this afternoon and tomorrow, but this is 2013, not 1963 — we’re in the formative stages of the real tempest in a teapot. Weather’s going to be anything but normal. In the final days to Friday, and the crossing of the Rubicon,…
Another Sunday morning, the last one of February, and the next few days will lead up to a new month but the same-old shit. On Friday, a legislative trigger will automatically snap back, force the hammer down and pop a cap at who/whatever’s in the vicinity – unfortunately, just about all regular Americans will catch at least…
Overcast, dark and gloomy this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, but not as cold as yesterday. No matter our weather, it ain’t nothing like the big storm getting ready to blanket Middle America with more than a foot of snow, and along with that, added into the mix will be lightning and sleet showers — whoa!…
“I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.” — Dick Cheney, ‘Meet The Press,’ March 16, 2003 Nowadays, the Iraqi people really, really don’t like their shit of a life. Near absent from any USÂ news coverage,…
