War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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…
Foggy again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, but supposedly we’re into a nice stretch of weather, especially with the big holiday tomorrow. Although just a mile or so inland temperatures are expected to be in triple digits the next few days, for us here on the shoreline, it will be in the balmy…
Fickle the hands of events, coupled with stupid: In a survey of 1,446 registered voters, 33 percent said Obama was the worst president since World War Two, while 28 percent pointed to his predecessor, George W. Bush, as the worst, the poll by Quinnipiac University found. A blue-tinted, sad graph at USAToday shows next down from George…
(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…
Heavy ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and beyond the mist, we’re forecast for some rainfall today, maybe. Weather on any shoreline is pretty-much unpredictable in a local, predictable way. A couple of weeks ago, President Obama delivered the commencement address at the University of California and jumped on climate change as…
Ground fog again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and warm, too. And speaking of heat — Dr. Christopher Keating, a physicist who has taught at the University of South Dakota and the U.S. Naval Academy, has offered $10,000 of his own money to anyone who can disprove climate change. A kind of back-slap to…
Overcast with a chilly breeze here this Sunday on California’s north coast as we mingle the single days left in summer, which by the way, officially cranked-off yesterday. Although we’ve been experiencing ‘summer‘ for the past six weeks or so — bright, windy and a lot of sunshine. And warm for the most part. Especially…
Near-crystal-clear this early Friday on California’s north coast with a jagged half-moon rising late in the far eastern sky. And the sun should come up like cold thunder in a couple of hours. But it’s Friday! On the eve of summer — officially starts tomorrow at 6:51 AM EDT — life in its manifest bullshit…
Clear and chilly this way-too-early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we plow on through another quick-as-a-dash work week. No matter the situation, time don’t stand still at all. One nasty time-buster right now is Iraq — a nightmare clock ticking away at the speed of a bullet off an AK-47 rifle, fired toward Baghdad…
