War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High overcast this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast and from all indications we’ll continue our most-wonderful Indian summer today with warm temperatures fluttered in sunshine. Twelve years in a memory’s snap — a swift day’s ride into the sunset. Today, of course, is the day after Sept. 11. And that date will apparently never…
Sunday morning fog up here on California’s north coast — feels like it’s foggy all over the world. And it feels like we’re all on a precarious precipice as plastered by the platoons of talking heads on the TV this morning — an alliteration of assholes, no doubt. All posturing on Syria — the road to…
Finally — Friday! A little wispy-overcast this morning on California’s north coast as we prepare to handle the weekend — and we’re way-ready for a warm and sun-splashed two days. And it will be fairly serene, too. Not like this planet we inhabit. If the sniping, backtalk and phoney smiles at the G-20 summit in…
Clear and star-sprinkling skies this early Wednesday along California’s north coast — as the middle of the work week is here, so are thoughts of the week end. Yet two days to go. And this morning, the situation room on the Syrian chaos is getting crowded. The US, however, is pulling a George Jr. ploy…
Fog again this way-early Thursday on California’s north coast, but the outside feels a bit warmer than yesterday — but it’s the weather, and who’s to really know? In the state of everything nowadays, who’s to know anything? Especially the state of a person’s mind — Bradley Manning leaks of himself: “I am Chelsea Manning.…
Welcome to harsh-reality’s end of the week — Friday! Another day, another life — sweltering, near-unlivable conditions up here on California’s north coast: The U.S. National Weather Service reports that the temperature in Eureka reached a staggering (‘round these parts) 73°, edging out the previous record of 71° set way back in aught three of…
Mid-week already, and nothing to show for it beyond two days of work. Fog again this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, and a bit chilly, but according to the way-recent-past, it should be warm and sunny by noon. Apparently, President Obama has to be watched. Maybe the NSA can help keep an eye on…
Fog again this way-too-early Tuesday as we pound on through the week — we just getting started. And how do I know? — spy in the sky, in the ground and all around. Ironic reform — President Obama has ordered up a review panel of the NSA bullshit …but: The panel will be chosen by,…
(Illustration found here). When I started this blog in late April 2007, the total-main topic of the every-day US news cycle was the nightmare of Iraq — the war was an unmitigated disaster. On April Fools Day that year, John McCain did a “walk freely” stroll through a Baghdad open-air market, while watching his ass were…
Here finally we are — Friday! A foggy early morning, too, on California’s north coast as the weekend swings into full view. Smoke can come in many forms — and can be blown up the ass as well — former Obama White House adviser Van Jones slapped his “ridiculous” ex-boss on the NSA bullshit: “First of…
