War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Clear and cold this Thursday morning along California’s northern coast — the moon hanging like a fat-ass fingernail in the eastern sky. And the sound of the peaceful Pacific Ocean can heard roaring a couple of miles away, like an express train coming down the tracks, but going nowhere. Just like parts of the Left…
Raining and cold this early Wednesday on California’s north coast and as we hit mid-week, shit is flying all over, especially from the face of bat-shit crazy. As I type, far across this nation in the far-deep darkness of morning, rodent Republican Ted Cruz is in the midst of a blithering talk-a-thon in the US…
Under the news layers, another slice of possible horror from the never-ending terror-tale of the Fukushima nuclear plant — this time the possible extraction of 1300 spent fuel rods from Unit 4: Conditions in the unit 4 pool, 100 feet from the ground, are perilous, and if any two of the rods touch it could cause…
Drizzling rain this way-early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and the weather matches the mood. Horror once again yesterday via another gun massacre at DC’s Washington Navy Yard — 12 dead and eight wounded. And not a motive in gun-sight, beyond some guy armed to the teeth and pissed about something. The nightmare shits: The…
News like this is a bit disconcerting, if not border-line, paranoid-frightful (via USAToday): In tests for arsenic in more than 1,300 samples of rice and rice products, the Food and Drug Administration has found levels vary but overall are far too low to cause any immediate or short-term adverse health effects. … “Nobody wants arsenic,…
Slightly overcast this way-too-early Thursday on California’s north coast as we wade toward the end of the week. Another scorcher for us as temps are expected to be in the 70s again today, and even hotter into the weekend with Monday’s high forecast to be 91 — whoa! Us old people don’t weather the weather…
Monday again! And there’s not a dang thang I can do about it, either. Sad news over the weekend, singer Linda Ronstadt has Parkinson’s disease. She told AARP online: “No one can sing with Parkinson’s disease. No matter how hard you try.” Aging is nowhere as much fun as I thought. Ronstadt at 67 is…
An on-going creepy story not getting much airplay nowadays (via BBC News): “The quantities of water they are dealing with are absolutely gigantic,” said Mycle Schneider, who has consulted widely for a variety of organisations and countries on nuclear issues. “What is the worse is the water leakage everywhere else – not just from the…
Here we are mid-week again, with fog and gloom this early Wednesday, but at least we’re on the gravitational pull to the weekend. Hard-hitting environmental report came out yesterday, but if anyone has been keeping up with the situation the last few years, there’s really nothing new. The big question (though, with no answer right…
(Illustration: Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The State Lottery‘ found here). Time again fellow peoples for the nutcase absolute -nuttery of the big-bucks lottery — the multi-state Powerball has now topped $425 million and the delusional denizens will be swiping/jiving to the dreams of an idiot. And the bullshit lying continues: “We’re seeing brisk sales for this…
