War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and damp this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as we cruise on toward the weekend — now closer than it was yesterday! And yesterday’s gone — a loss of history, boxer Ken Norton, great of the 1970s and the only guy on earth who broke Ali’s jaw, has died at age 70. Norton was…
Dark overcast skies this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, and way-quiet in the early light — and I can’t even hear a sound from the mighty Pacific Ocean, a mile or so away. Thick shit, the air. And this morning five years ago, some real-thick shit was launched against a warbling, screaming financial fan…
Finally, it’s Friday! Still overcast and a bit warm this early morning here on California’s north coast as we continue our falling way into the fall season — we did get some sunshine yesterday, but it was well into the late afternoon. Today must be another spoiler. Beyond the Syria entanglements and the “Biblical” flooding…
Crystal-clear skies and a fingernail-moon brighten this way-too-early Friday on California’s north coast as we continue our our warmest summer ever: The official thermometer read 74 degrees, topping the previous best of 72 recorded in 1991. Sweltering! Weather isn’t scary enough? Just wait for the pants-shitting fright to dawn. (Illustration found here). Beyond the now-widening debacle…
Fog again this way-early Thursday on California’s north coast, but the outside feels a bit warmer than yesterday — but it’s the weather, and who’s to really know? In the state of everything nowadays, who’s to know anything? Especially the state of a person’s mind — Bradley Manning leaks of himself: “I am Chelsea Manning.…
Deep ground fog this early Wednesday up here along California’s north coast — no ‘Blue Moon‘ seen in these parts. Just a bad moon rising — ha! And stilted moonshine is blinking on assholes who call themselves journalists, but yet are waging a war against journalism — mostly because of money and power, I suppose.…
A bit overcast this way-too-early Monday here on California’s north coast, with a near-full-moon brightening the skies — and it was another really, really short weekend. Just two days to recover from five days is just bad math. And I want the NSA to know right up front — I Googled you! So fuck off,…
Mid-week already, and nothing to show for it beyond two days of work. Fog again this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, and a bit chilly, but according to the way-recent-past, it should be warm and sunny by noon. Apparently, President Obama has to be watched. Maybe the NSA can help keep an eye on…
Despite my best efforts and a lot of crying, it’s Monday again! And it’s foggy up here along California’s north coast, so the noted Perseid meteor shower won’t be seen in the morning murk — the peak is supposedly tonight, but more fog is expected then, too. One fog bank is thick and nasty — the…
Here finally we are — Friday! A foggy early morning, too, on California’s north coast as the weekend swings into full view. Smoke can come in many forms — and can be blown up the ass as well — former Obama White House adviser Van Jones slapped his “ridiculous” ex-boss on the NSA bullshit: “First of…
