War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and rainy-looking this way-way-too-early Thursday here on California’s north coast, and since I’m on foot nowadays, the wet doesn’t make me want to dance a jig. Rain is forecast for the next couple of days, so I’ll just have to abide with the dude. News shit sucks this morning — the same pattern to…
A bit overcast and quiet this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we reach mid-week work style. There’s just way-too-many days between Monday and Friday. And speaking of ganja, especially up here in the pot-growing center of the entire universe, a bunch of well-respected economic brainiacs have called for the eternally-foolish, 40-year-old drug war to…
Clear and nice this early Monday on California’s north coast — the start of a new work week without much fanfare. There’s a lot to hate about Mondays, but the best hatred should be way-directed to just how short the weekend. The last two days were absolutely no exception. Too fast for comprehension — this…
Clear and a bit chilly this Friday morning on California’s north coast — the bright, disk-like moon hangs to the south, creeping westward toward the Pacific Ocean. And a surprise yesterday afternoon — rain. Although an overall light shower, on occasion I could hear the raindrops popping all over the place. No more wet in…
Ground fog and warm air — nice early Thursday here on California’s north coast as we hustle our way toward the weekend — just a few more hours and it’s Friday! One item I’d seen earlier this week, but appeared to vanish from media sight was a big indicator of how our envirnoment is suffering,…
Raining fairly heavy this way-too-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, but maybe the sun will show itself later, like it did yesterday afternoon — gorgeous and warm. We need the rain, though, and lots more. Quick snapshot of America 2014 from Democratic pollster Celinda Lake: “Both parties are universally despised. The best thing the Republicans have…
Clear and chilly again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — mid-week weakly here. No earthquakes during my morning bath, but there’s been two little shakers since I got up earlier, and the movement continues. Fascinating life in the nowadays, huh? War in the Crimea, a big passenger jet still missing after nearly two…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this early Friday on California’s north coast — the best couple of words almost-ever: It’s Friday! Yesterday was like summer around here — bright afternoon sunshine and warm temperatures. The country as a whole, however, is frigid in political spirit — one screaming-dysfunctional place. And the news media is whacked,…
High overcast again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and as the planet spins into oblivion the dark lingers. And sunshine won’t change matters. In light of the EPA’s okay last Friday of the Keystone XL pipeline, was this prior to the report’s release from Jack Gerard, CEO of the American Petroleum Institute: “It’s…
Key to the latest Eddie-Snowden tidbit: Even more troubling, according to Information’s assessment, is that the top secret “document suggests that the NSA’s […] focus in relation to climate change was spying on other countries to collect intelligence that would support American interests, rather than preventing future climate catastrophes.” (Illustration found here).
