War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another overcast early morning this Thursday on California’s north coast, but as the case the last few weeks, sunshine will most-likely break the gloom by noon time. The weekend now only hours away. Beyond the cycle of the George Zimmerman fallout, there’s continuing saga of the average Joe on America’s streets, caught in the watchful…
Overcast again this Tuesday morning as if the season up here on California’s north coast, but again, too, a bit on the chilly side as we troll through the week watching the world crumble. In the context of being updated, last night one of the jurors in the latest infamous trial told CNN’s Anderson Cooper: “I…
Sad news now a couple of weeks old — one of the way-best data/info sites on the InterWebs will soon go ‘archive‘ only and a neat, educated voice in the ether will go quiet. The Oil Drum will be history supposedly on Aug. 31. Invaluable would be a word I’d use to describe the site, and…
Fog-bound again this early Thursday and a bit on the chilly side for this part of California’s northern coast — the sunshine will burn through before mid-day, always does. Life is expectant. The NSA/surveillance shit-storm thrust out into the public by young Eddie Snowden has indeed ignited the US public into questioning whether all this…
A bit of lingering fog this early Monday on California’s north coast with most-beautiful weather continuing on into a new work week. However, it’s pretty-much shitsville everywhere else. Nineteen firefighters were killed yesterday in Arizona — an entire ‘elite’ fire crew — and the western US as a whole has become no more than a furnace…
Heavy ground fog this way-early Thursday along California’s north coast, and way-quiet, too. The usual noise from the Pacific Ocean, only about a mile or so away, can’t be heard at all. Up high, though, there seems to be a thin-spot in the mist as the half-moon hangs brightly in the southern sky — a…
Raining again this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast and the world keeps right-on skipping to a drumming noise on the roof, or is that the news media? As we speak (or write), Ed Snowden’s whereabouts remains a mystery — the huge, military apparatus of the US hasn’t been able to find the kid, mainly…
Once again it’s already middle of the week — time flies when shit runs supreme. And a lot of it does stick to the wall. Another foggy early morning here on California’s north coast as I wade through the current news cycle, seeking whatever sticks to that proverbial wall and most of it ain’t funny,…
Yesterday afternoon, two kids from my town introduced President Obama at a White House reception for LGBT Pride Month, and they nailed it, even outshining the president. Twin sisters and third-graders Zea and Luna Weiss-Wynne of Mckinleyville Elementary School are seen at left with Obama and VP Joe Biden — Zea and Luna are daughters…
Another dark, gloomy and overcast morning here on California’s north coast, though, as a Thursday, we’re much closer to the weekend than we were yesterday. Which does say something, but what? And as times passes, Americans view NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in a different light: Roughly one in three Americans say the former security contractor…
