War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Way-bright sunshine this afternoon, and way-warm, too, at least here on this little spot of California’s north coast. Already the smut from a newly-up-chucked US Senate — from Fox News: ‘The Republican wave Tuesday could bring a gusher of oil down from Canada, as GOP gains in the Senate appeared to give backers of the…
A reddish tint in the eastern sky this Wednesday morning, maybe sailors and all Americans take warning — here on California’s north coast, most-likely overcast with late afternoon sunshine. Another day in the life… No so for the sad, dumb-ass US of A — apparently there’s a shitload of ignorant, clueless Americans out there, enough…
Overcast and some ground fog early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’re forecast for maybe-70-percent-chance of rain this morning, and it could happen. Today is the $4 billion Day — in the weird, schizophrenic, and highly-amnesic US of A, the 2014 midterm elections. And we could be really fucked at the end of the…
Chilly-air and overcast on the first Monday in November — every once in awhile this morning, my little section of California’s north coast does get washed with some cloud-filtered sunshine for a few minutes. Maybe if the wind kicks up a bit, so will the shine. Tomorrow is Election Day, but here on the Left…
Overcast with a bit of ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — onward we go! Earlier this month, the US Department of Agriculture reported nearly 50 million Americans live in households with ‘food insecurity,’ or sometimes there’s just not enough to go around. Via Mother Jones and the bottom line: All of…
Supposedly, Sarah Palin was on point with a ‘gotcha’ moment last weekend when she and her entire brood got involved in huge brawl. I first saw the story this morning at Raw Story, then there’s an update at Wonkette, and finally this version from Alaskan blogger, Amanda Coyne: As many of us have read, Bristol Palin…
In the grand slush of news lately, I’d overlooked today’s 40-year anniversary — Gerald Ford’s forgive-and-forget of Dick Nixon. And nearly 40 years later, President Obama did just about the same thing with George Jr. and his bunch. Ford’s TV text soul-searching included: My conscience tells me clearly and certainly that I cannot prolong the…
Deep ground fog this early Thursday on California’s north coast — not like just awhile ago when it appeared we might actual receive some sunshine with sunrise. Dawn was nearly clear, even a few sprinkling of stars could be seen off in the eastern skies, and, there was a whisper of an red-orange glow just…
Last Friday 40 years ago, Dick Nixon quit. He babbled a few words, jumped on a helicopter after performing his standard idiot’s wave, and flew home to somewhere near the house his daddy built. I watched most of the episode, or at least the most-dramatic parts, on varied-sized television screens in the TV-repair department at…
This past weekend, Sarah Palin supposedly launched her own online network, where for $9.55 a month (or $99.95 for a whole year) a subscriber can binge on Palin’s witless wit: “I want to talk directly to you on our channel, on my terms — and no need to please the powers that be. Together, we’ll go…
