War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and way-dark this early Friday on California’s north coast as we look forward to the weekend, now within earshot. Hairy week past with airplanes falling out of the sky at an alarming rate — blown up or just blew up, a horror by any other name. And what’s really hairy is the misplaced fountain…
Foggy and chilly this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast as the weekend officially comes to an abrupt end without much fanfare. An ugly morning is a Monday. And speaking of pure ugly — on Friday, US House GOPers passed a ludicrous, dumb-ass business tax-cut measure ‘with no effort to pay for or offset that…
Once again as if part of an oft-repeated scenario, ground fog and warmth this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we push on through the work week. However, for someone who’s just fed-up with work, I have nothing-but Friday on my mind. And as the planet disintegrates a little bit every few seconds, Americans…
Truth always trumps — no matter an impossible-case reporting what’s right. Case in point: Glenn Greenwald, in an interview last month: “The key to the social control was the possibility that they could be watched at any time.” Published 64 years ago last week, George Orwell’s “1984” has been the ultimate/universal code for bad-government juju.…
A foggy and chilly Saturday morning on California’s north coast — normal as the word ‘standard.’ Last week, as anyone paying just a gist-amount of attention would know, results from a Quinnipiac University National Poll showed President Obama the worse US president since WWII, and also included this question to respondents: How much of the…
Ground fog again this early Friday on California’s north coast — and all is quiet and still, mainly due to no one (except me) having to work. Today is some kind of holiday, I’m told. Yeah, right — it’s Independence Day, the fourth of July. America’s 238th birthday, though, a shitload of morons believe it’s…
Another normal early-morning here on California’s north coast — foggy and a bit warm even for the middle of the work week, though, this particular Wednesday is sucking up this nation’s birthday. Friday is the famous July 4 — our Independence Day (with aliens, too, but of the Hispanic variety) — but Arthur might strike…
(Illustration: The Dick, George Jr., and a Known-Known, posture hypocrisy on an American country road, found here). In just a few words, a glimpse into the horror-nightmare of Iraq, and a status-update to the current fight to retake Tikrit from the militants: “The animals are eating the corpses of ISIS,” Brig. Resan al-Brahimi, a federal…
Clear and more on the warm side this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and from here, the weekend is just hours away. Or words to that effect. Despite another double-tornado incident, this time in North Dakota, or a major-league no-hitter, the unfolding horror of Iraq continues to dominate the news cycle — and as…
High overcast again this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we continue to plow on through the work week. Time appears to be moving faster, like water finally flushing down a drain, sucking quicker and quicker — until it’s all gone. The weekend will be here before you can say, ‘Shithead,’ and then we”l…
