War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In order to get through each and every day, many of us medicated ourselves to cope. Whatever: A glass of Jack Daniels on the rocks, or smoke a bowl — means seems to justify the end. How about each and every day there’s horror, death and destruction? Data contained in the Army’s fifth Mental Health…
In the waning days of Decider George’s grip on reality, events and disclosures reveal just how bad the past nearly-eight years have been — an ugly, multi-generational inheritance.

As another Memorial Day three-day weekend draws to a close, the oratories reported given across the country by anyone remotely attached to Decider George’s government makes one want to spew junks.

Here it is Friday before the famous Memorial Day weekend — once the party-igniting start to a summer of beer and chicks in halter tops — but now it’s on to $4 a gallon gas and a world shattered by shit-heads in power. One of the most pointed writers/performers is Garrison Keillor, of “A Prairie…
Decider George shames all US peoples. He couldn’t grasp his ass with both hands.

According to the Associated Press, as of this morning 17 mostly-young US service people have been killed since Sunday. Five on Wednesday. The mortality rate has started to increase. While politicians fiddle, Iraq burns. BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Twenty-three people were killed and 83 injured in Baghdad’s Shi’ite slum of Sadr City Wednesday, security sources said,…
As Jackboot John McCain launched his weeklong ‘Biography Tour’ in an attempt to showcase his long, storied relationship with the US military and started what Reuters news service tagged as a “trip down memory lane,” the war in Iraq, a humid, horrid place where Jackboot John would keep US GIs 10, 20, a hundred years,…
