War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Nearly two years ago, the current lame-duck White House bunch were put on notice the financial system was ready to collapse, ready to fold-up more like a chair sitting a fat-ass banker than a house of cards. Instead of creating a stop-gap, Decider George opened the flood gates even further. From CNN this morning: The…
Talk about some history-freaked whiners. CNN reported this evening a bunch of straight-faced historians said Decider George has just been “unlucky” with a lot of bad shit happening on his watch, and future people might deal with the sonofabitch in a much better light than right now, a Harry Truman kind of character. Shit happens,…
As the country heads for the financial bottom, up pops Decider George’s White House, a cesspool of such collective villainy it staggers the brain, with a suggestion for any US peoples who are currently unemployed: Just Go Out And Get A Job, You Lazy, Worthless Sonofabitches! Sweet Miss Dana Perino (left) said during a press…
UPDATE: This now Tuesday evening and it might appear the story posted below might/might-not be bogus. Interesting tale to it. Link to counterpunch.org listed below has been broken. The story now can be found here. The story seems true to me — fits Jackboot John’s real-life profile of nasty-mouth asshole that’s been published in the…
As the bungled, terrible wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to kill and maim US troops, the return home can be just as tedious and terrifying as the war zones. As of yesterday, 4,151 US GIs have died in Iraq since the invasion in March 2003 while 582 servicemen have been killed in Afghanistan, where…
The big, old fat “cakewalk” security agreement between the US and Iraq might be in for some very heavy lifting in the next few weeks. BAGHDAD (AFP) – An Iraqi Shiite cleric on Friday denounced as “eternal slavery” a proposed security deal between Baghdad and Washington that outlines the long-term military presence of American forces…
In the 230-plus-year history of the US, it was bound to happen. One as cynical as us might have figured it would happen before now, before communications opened up governmental processes to a more public scrutiny, yet no real real-ugly hi-jinks until this current administration jackbooted into power. Dick Nixon was a Boy Scout compared…
Up comes two seemingly unrelated, underhanded, heavy-handed deals, cutting like odorous, fart-splitting flatulence across the landscape, coupling together the future of Iraq to the entrails of the US. War for oil. Old fart-head Alan Greenspan should have stuck to his gumption. He said last fall that Decider George went into Iraq for the Texas tea…
Life in a vacuum. If one lives in a glass house, but can’t see the outside world — creepy. From just about every angle, Decider George’s way-dangerous terms in office have been an unmitigated disaster. The W’s administration portfolio and accompanying details could fill a city of libraries, and just about all of the material…
In an ugly sense of an unconscious daydream, another natural tragedy has struck the US with its leader again out to lunch, or in this case, dinner: About 36,000 Iowans were evacuated because of statewide flooding, 24,000 of them in Cedar Rapids. The massive flooding has overwhelmed the city — which is in a 500-year…
