War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the bat-shit crazy world we co-habitat, a short essay on our peculiar predicament, and not just COVID-19 floating in the air, but that nasty, orange-tinted virus at the podium (h/t BJ): And an addendum to the mouth that won’t stop, ever (Washington Post): “Always health. Health and life. Living is number one … I…
My cell-phone tells me it’s Wednesday, so we’ll go with that, despite the real fact it feels like yesterday, or a week ago. In a convoluted era of surreal craziness, this is by far one nice portrayal of our human predicament (humble h/t Daily Kos): Beyond that brief bit of joy, the big picture don’t…
Raining this early-evening Saturday here on this tiny patch of California’s Central Valley. Outside just now smoking a small bit of a Black&Mild under the backyard-lawn umbrella, the ambiance was nice, a tad maybe on the fairy-tale side, too. Contrast greatly the reality of our predicament, and this actuality of how we got here (h/t…
Another terrible slap at the press today from the T-Rump during his now-daily COVID-19 circus events. Called out for his bullshit, he goes mental in anger.

Another day in the life. Although we’re under a ‘shelter in place‘ order here in California, I had to visit the post office this morning to mail-off some ‘essential‘ shit least I end up in legal crap. Some things we got to do, even while engaged inside a Twilight Zone episode — I went with…

As we spin through this weird-ass conundrum of the coronavirus, our biggest enemy in acquiring a handle on the pandemic is the T-Rump, and his self-centered bullshit that’s impeding an organized assault against spread of the virus. A petulant, incompetent sociopath is in charge of some serious business. Even as another GOPer…
(Illustration found here) Nearly three days into a ‘shelter in place’ routine, the world is freaking out, and shifting into a dystopian landscape getting darker by the day. Gov.
