War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As great minds debate the questions of our age this evening, true genius lurks in the shadows, a hunched-over, arm-bowled Jackboot John McCain, betting all his shit on one fairly-suicidal move, a move so quick, so fast, even Sara Palin’s momma couldn’t catch the maneuver. From William Goldman‘s so-interestingly touching, The Princess Bride: “You are…
One of the great outlaw-on-the-dodge stories of all time. Seven years and near-a-month after the 9/11 attacks, the supposedly-master-brain behind the operation, Osama bin Laden, the Saudi prince of terror, is still floating around out there in the ether, whether he’s kicking up Pakistani daisies or not. Now he’s one of the most-celebrated celebrities of…
Near, so near to conclusion of the extreme-worse of all US presidential administrations, we find ourselves also with a view of the extreme-worse of all presidential candidates — Jackboot John McCain is the most retarded (not PC, we know), shameless incompetent ever to attempt the White House. (The above pix from bewarethemarketplaceidols). One gut-clenching, hands-over-face experience…
This afternoon, reports surfaced of a little dust-up between US-led forces and Pakistani troops. Although there’s been no US confirmation, supposedly US and Afghan GIs exchanged fire with Pakistani guards near/on/at the border between the two countries. From antiwar.com: NATO has issued a statement today saying that Pakistan troops opened fire on two helicopters near…
Amazing how much is going on right now — a mother of a financial meltdown, a most-bizarre presidential election inundated with so much rhetorical, nonsensical bullshit, oil prices acting bi-polar, even global warming is apparently worse than just this past weekend. Global warming could rapidly accelerate as millions of tons of methane escape from beneath…
In the wake of the bombing of Islamabad’s Marriott Hotel — killing from 53 to 60 people, depending on the news outlet — the crisis in making war in Afghanistan comes under a deeper blanket of loss, a war that in the end will be un-winnable. Today, US helicopters were fired on again — the…
As the absolute horror of Jackboot John McCain sitting in the Oval office becomes much-more intense with each passing white-collar lipstick smear the real repugnance lies in death and killing and suffering from the Tigris and Euphrates to the south Texas coastline. And what about his Number One? Earmark Sarah Palin will be worse than…
As I drove my oldest daughter to work Monday, Sept. 10, 2001, we discussed her upcoming marriage to a guy then in the Navy stationed in Virginia. She was concerned about his safety being in the military service. Even after seven years, I remember the reply: “He’ll be okay, he’ll be fine — unless there’s…
As Decider George and his miserable band of legal cutthroats get ready for a much-anticipated kick out the door, the blood lust must remain first and foremost. As the rest of the US swirls around Jackboot John McCain’s VP pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the White House is attempting to blindside a provision through…
In all indications, the skirmish in the Caucasus has developed into a long-running, hard-line situation. The US rigged a plan to pull at scabs, scratch open old sores and have accomplished the feat. Decider George will launch his vice president, Dufus Dick Cheney, to a few countries next week (within minutes of giving the lead-off…
