War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Back in the saddle again! Or onto the laptop again, whichever works! This is my first post after my cataract eye surgery last week at the Fresno VA Medical Center and from all early indications the procedure on my right eye turned out really good. with the examination the day after surgery showed A-Okay to…
Here we are, shamelessly and audaciously without an ounce of any marketing savvy, crying for you as readers of this blog — that handful of sad intellectuals off the vast InterWebs — to buy my novel, “Brown-Eyed Girl With A Cold Corona,” self-published last March by Outskirts Press. Although set in the genre FICTION/Romance/Fantasy, “Corona”…
Nice way to start a day in this doomscrolling era — way-funny and sweet (h/t Miss Cellania): And the reaction from the security guy is priceless, makes the scene not only comedic but touching — cutline via Miss Cellania: Coming home from the Olympics, Kelsey Mitchell walked through an airport security metal detector, and the…
In a break from below-ground chaos from Republicans, rattling cages in all direction, a quick look this Wednesday afternoon at the advancing news-cycle item of unidentified flying objects, which seems to have gained reputable status lately. Although ‘UFOs’ have been part of American folklore for decades, from science-fiction movies/novels and what-not, it’s begining to look…
In context of this particular Thursday, the news cycle is getting old. Generally the same daily shit twisted as if in a Twilight Zone-influenced-Groundhog Day episode, and then repeats the repeating. Against the grain, though, we must continue to move forward. However, I did have a nice experience due to a couple videos that crossed…
In lieu of real news to shit on, I’ve decided to start a new series commemorating a vital segment of movies — the opening sequence, also sometimes called the title sequence, which in the best films sets the tone for the movie itself. A shitoad of recent movies don’t have opening credits anymore, they go…
Another near-lost most-ominous piece of particulars on the infestation of a “nightmare” — Dr. Anthony Fauci (CNN today): “Ebola was scary, but Ebola would never be easily transmitted,” Fauci said speaking at the BIO International Convention. “HIV, as important as it is, was drawn out and over an extended period of time,” added Fauci, who…
Breezy and nice this late-afternoon Friday in California’s Central Valley, though in the mid-80s the air is way-cooler than the last two/three days, which saw temps in triple digits close to sundown. And we’re getting a little overcast right now, so the cooling-off factor will most-likely heighten. Once again blogging in the backyard, but this…
Here it is the third day in the defense of the T-Rump in his Senate impeachment trial and the proceedings are batshit-crazy, mainly because it’s obvious the orange turd is guilty, but now there’s John Bolton’s book manuscript — “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” a copy of which was leaked over…
On this supposedly special day, and toward the end of another decade, a musical flashback to a decade 20 years ago and a period I consider the best ever in rock-n-roll — the 90s. Although I came of age in the 1960s Beatles/Ed Sullivan/Rolling Stones era, the 1990s were by far the most creative, inspiring…
