War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Foggy and chilly this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast as the weekend officially comes to an abrupt end without much fanfare. An ugly morning is a Monday. And speaking of pure ugly — on Friday, US House GOPers passed a ludicrous, dumb-ass business tax-cut measure ‘with no effort to pay for or offset that…
A foggy and chilly Saturday morning on California’s north coast — normal as the word ‘standard.’ Last week, as anyone paying just a gist-amount of attention would know, results from a Quinnipiac University National Poll showed President Obama the worse US president since WWII, and also included this question to respondents: How much of the…
Foggy again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, but supposedly we’re into a nice stretch of weather, especially with the big holiday tomorrow. Although just a mile or so inland temperatures are expected to be in triple digits the next few days, for us here on the shoreline, it will be in the balmy…
Fickle the hands of events, coupled with stupid: In a survey of 1,446 registered voters, 33 percent said Obama was the worst president since World War Two, while 28 percent pointed to his predecessor, George W. Bush, as the worst, the poll by Quinnipiac University found. A blue-tinted, sad graph at USAToday shows next down from George…
Another normal early-morning here on California’s north coast — foggy and a bit warm even for the middle of the work week, though, this particular Wednesday is sucking up this nation’s birthday. Friday is the famous July 4 — our Independence Day (with aliens, too, but of the Hispanic variety) — but Arthur might strike…
Cloudy, damp early Thursday here on California’s north coast and more rain is expected today — we had a good splash yesterday, not anywhere near enough to replenish this dry state, but was welcomed nevertheless. Ironic laugh relief — Sarah Palin’s eye-gouging, most-literary response to the GOP incestuous blowout in Mississippi this week. Charles P.…
Up early this morning to some sweet news — for a change: In the most-stunning upset since Republicans took over the House of Representatives four years ago, Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his GOP primary Tuesday to a poorly funded and disorganized Tea Party activist. David Brat, an economics professor, beat Cantor by 12 points…
Clear and chilly this way-too-early and coming-way-too-soon Monday morning as we start our waltz into summer. Years ago, June to September lasted forever — now WTF is 90 days? And, of course, today is Memorial Day 2014 as we’re supposed to honor those who died in America’s wars — although the major problem right now…
Dense ground fog along with its deep quiet this early Thursday on California’s north coast, but if the weather trend continues, sunshine later with a gusty wind for this afternoon. Normal here, might not be normal there: A supercell thunderstorm drifted through Denver’s northeast suburbs early this afternoon spawning tornadoes and depositing incredible amounts of…
High overcast and way-quiet this early Monday on California’s north coast. I can’t even hear the Pacific Ocean, only a couple of miles away, as the morning sound so full of stillness it’s kind of weird. We require some type noise on a frickin’ Monday. The weekend went terrifyingly fast even if I did absolutely…
