War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: ‘Reptiles,’ by MC Escher, 1943 (Lithograph), and found here). One of the more-ugly aspects of GaetzGate for me is that the asshole represents the area where I grew up — the Florida panhande. I spent most of my youth there, from third grade through high school graduation (attending Choctawhatchee High School in Fort Walton…
Another Monday in the life as the US continues to unwind itself from the coils of a crazed pandemic and four horrific years of the T-Rump madness where everything went to shit in a big bucket. One notable continuous wonder in this new Joe Biden age is Jen Psaki and the near-daily press briefings. Instead…
Another lopsided shit-event at the US Capitol this morning (AM here on the West Coast) when apparently some random guy tried to ram Capitol police with his car, then jumped out with a knife. Two cops were injured, one fatally, and the suspect was shot dead — just WTF: As the situation is developing, some…
As Joe Biden continues to be as popular as ever, and carries on with poise and determination, the wallowing-in-pity T-Rump maintains his lying status as a goof-ball dipshit, and after hyjacking a wedding repection over the weekend to rant bullshit, today he lashed-out at his own COVID historical reality. In a blathering statement released from…
Reality seen with your own eyes, except for the T-Rump and every fucking Republican sucking air right now — on Fox News Thursday night, T-Rump described in a seemingly fever dream the Jan. 6 US Capitol building insurrection/riot: “It was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat. Look, they went in, they…
Some dangling participles today from Joe Biden’s first presidential press conference with an emphasis on reporters not really doing their jobs (I touched on this yesterday) and seeking out shit not needed to be sought (via a review of the event at CJR): Dan Froomkin, the journalism critic, said that the presser created the impression that as…
Questions from White House reporters at Joe Biden’s first press conference today were a bit one-sided and seem to carry a right-handed approach to political shit, with some observers calling for them to do a better job. The reporter’s reality is to the people: Journalists are supposed to work really for the truth and present…
Our nation can rest easier now that Joe Biden held his first press conference this afternoon, and from all indications he aced his initial session with reporters — one outstanding item missing, however, was inquiries on the pandemic, which most-likely suggested the fight against it was going smoothly (as much as anything that’s killed a…
Here we go again in an attempt to get out from underneath the shit-weight of the politics and pandemic mixed-tape of horror. This is the fifth in our ‘Destination‘ series (last one here) and includes music from the past drummed-up mostly in acoustic tones flushed with the nowadays. And once again a find in my…
January’s insurrection/riot at the US Capitol building is still fresh in the air, but the ghastly event was perpetrated by self-centered dimwits like this coffee-shop owner in Ohio: ‘“If you voted for Joe Biden, don’t buy our coffee, it’s not for you,” he said. “If you feel that America is on the right track and…
