War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast with an occasional flare of bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, a little on the chilly side, but if current conditions persist for awhile, we’ll be nice and warm by noonish. A 50-percent chance rain later today and tonight, supposedly not much, though. Big storm with some decent moisture forecast for…
Clear sunshine and a chilly breeze this early Monday on California’s north coast. A bright lull in rainstorms as we’re to expect a decent-sized front to blow through later today and continue through Wednesday. According to the NWS, a cold storm system could drop snow levels to nearly 1500 feet by Tuesday night, adding small hail…
Another news-cycle episode in the never-ending horror-subject of Iraq came with the death announced yesterday of Ahmed Chalabi, the grifter who played the US public for the 2003 invasion. Media coverage on Chalabi dying has mostly painted him as the guy who ‘pushed‘ America into the Iraqi war, though, in reality he was just a…
Clear and chilly again this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as a cycle of nice weather keeps the sunshine coming — next rain scheduled for this weekend, if not sooner, so enjoy the ride. Although much has been reported about the medical benefits of marijuana, a new study just released indicates what I’ve known…
Bright sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast with like weather forecast for the next few days — no rain as yet in sight. Of course, no post yesterday — the big story around these parts was the AT&T ‘fiber’ episode. First, the asshole comm giant claimed Thursday’s big Internet/phone service breakdown came from…
Fat clouds and some faded sunshine this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast — forecast, though, is for the next couple of weeks to be fairly-nice with the NWS predicting sunny, or ‘mostly‘ sunny days. Feels humid and a bit on the gloomy side right now. Seemingly, gloomy all over — via UPI on Monday:…
Bright sunshine again this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast with rain forecast for tomorrow, but now the window’s way-narrow, maybe just for late Friday and early Saturday — abbreviated endurance. Simply just as the NWS notes: ‘Be ready for brief wet weather this weekend.’ Meanwhile, state of the atmosphere in journalism really, really sucks,…
American history is fairly warped, recognition only to the beholder. A sad footnote most-likely way-buried amongst the news cycle — from the Washington Post: Tyler S. Drumheller, a high-level CIA officer who publicly battled agency leaders over one of the most outlandish claims in the U.S. case for war with Iraq, died Aug. 2 at…
Overcast with thick-gray clouds this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, supposedly another episode in a mundane weather routine — fog tainted with sunlight, rinse and repeat. However, I do so-prefer here than the three-digit temperatures found in the interior, away from these shoreline breezes. We’ll top in the mid-60s today most-likely. Seems little Eddie…
Thinly-overcast with faded sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, already mid-week — time flies whether you’re having fun or not. Zilch for humor in this CNN/ORC Poll: ‘According to the poll, 52 percent of adults had a favorable impression of George W. Bush, 43 percent unfavorable.’ Either collective amnesia, or there’s a huge-shitload of…
