War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Snoop-dogs ain’t no tiny wieners — in the Guardian yesterday: But the documents reveal, too, the darker side of the NSA. It is indiscriminate in the information it is collecting. Nothing appears to be too small for the NSA. Nothing too trivial. Rivals, enemies, allies and friends – US citizens and ‘non-Americans’ – are all scooped…
Clear and way-chilly this way-early Thursday morning on California’s north coast, a quiet repose for one our more-dumb holidays — Halloween. Even with the good weather, business for the liquor store I manage has tanked and shit-economics is to blame. Our worse business spot for the year is the deep crevasse between Labor Day and…
Thick ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and way-quiet, too — only a faint rumble from the Pacific Ocean just more than a mile away. And we’re on the cusp of another weekend, already! I guess Americans are letting loose with a sigh of relief after 16 days of political chaos from…
Clear skies this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast as we sprint toward a rendezvous with an apparent natural-formed insanity. Sweet Harry Reid last night: “We hope with good fortune and the support of all you (senators) — recognizing how hard this is for everybody — that perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day.” Yeah,…
Another cold and clear morning here on California’s north coast — a Monday, too. A start to another week of dangerous, crazy life in the nowadays. One real loony point comes on Thursday with the debt-ceiling deadline, and after a “complete and utter wasted weekend” in the US Congress on trying to get a handle on…
Clear and cold this Sunday morning here on California’s north coast, the sun near-literally bursting up like thunder a little while ago — and I don’t really know, but it sure feels the cold has arrived earlier this year. The word, ‘cold,’ being relative, of course. Such as wanting to coldcock some assholes in DC…
Clear and a bit on the chilly side this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we addle on toward the weekend — which isn’t really anything other than a two-day work shutdown. And, by the way, a longer version is saddled upon the US right now — officially in the 10th day of hating…
Clear and windy this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast as we continue on down the path toward a mega-not-magnanimous disaster — nine days within a vat of stupid. Top-hat John Boehner is crying President Obama and Democrats are attempting to “annihilate us” Republicans, though, he and his nasty-faced buddies are making a most-creative effort…
Crystal clear once again this way-too-early Tuesday here on California’s north coast as we shrink into day eight of the infamous, batshit crazy US government shutdown. And the feedback on the GOP has been what one would expect from stupid — last night, Megyn Kelly at Fox opened her new primetime show with guest Ted…
Notwithstanding all the screaming and crying and blubbering, it’s Monday again — nothing, and I truly mean nothing, at all can be done about it. Except to accept the fate of the first day of the work week, and go about the business of trying to stay alive. Clear again this morning along California’s north…
