War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Raining and kind of gloomy this morning on California’s north coast — the weather isn’t the only passing fancy that sucks. Reality and fiction are apparently one and the same nowadays. A shitload of people running this planet have major mental problems: Sociopathy is a personality disorder that manifests itself in such traits as dishonesty,…
Raining again this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast and the world keeps right-on skipping to a drumming noise on the roof, or is that the news media? As we speak (or write), Ed Snowden’s whereabouts remains a mystery — the huge, military apparatus of the US hasn’t been able to find the kid, mainly…
Foggy and a bit on the drizzly side this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’ve a 30 percent chance for more rain today, but the sun will peek out sometime later, somehow it always does. And despite a shitload of other news happening, the NSA escapade also somehow peeks its nefarious face out…
Another dark, gloomy and overcast morning here on California’s north coast, though, as a Thursday, we’re much closer to the weekend than we were yesterday. Which does say something, but what? And as times passes, Americans view NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in a different light: Roughly one in three Americans say the former security contractor…
High overcast and way-quiet this early Thursday on California’s northern coast, with the silence so compelling, the noise from the Pacific only a mile or so away, can barely be heard above all the hush-hush. And finally even beyond doing anything, we are again on the gates of the weekend — time flies no matter.…
When President Obama spoke yesterday: “Regardless of reason, this truth cannot be ignored that today most Americans are not directly touched by war. As a consequence, not all Americans may always see or fully grasp the depths of sacrifice, the profound costs that are made in our name, right now, as we speak, everyday.†He…
War remembered by the dead. Today is the day before Memorial Day, which is tomorrow, Monday — a sober holiday in its intention, but nowadays more to the BBQ and cheap beer. America is fairly bloody place, started out that way, and now, with a shitload of neurotic, gun-toting civilians trying to keep more guns…
Clear with a slightly-chilled breeze this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as the work week grinds onward, and maybe downward. In a somewhat good news, authorities in Oklahoma have dropped the number of deaths from Monday’s tornado to only 24 (though, seven were children) and a terrible clean-up begins. In the midst of all…
Clear skies this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — the moon a white light in the western sky. Weather that’s true or not, who’s to say? Indeed, as the dust settles a bit off last week’s string of shit, and President Obama did the right thing yesterday in putting young Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on trial…
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…
