War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Forgot the DST this morning, even with all the news-site-blurbs yesterday yakking about ‘spring forward’ — a good thing it’s Sunday and there’s no place of got-to-be, so time can just go and kiss my… Ask a lot of US peoples and this lost hour of sleep is “torture,” panic-filled, “with more than a little…
Wondering a bit this evening, reading about another astro-podic close encounter of earth with a chunk of space rock, the one this afternoon ‘…big as a city block…’ glided past about 600,000 miles up — as Reuters explained: That’s about 2-1/2 times as far as the moon, fairly close on a cosmic yardstick. A space…
The chronicle of Aaron Swartz got a little more twisted this afternoon with the inclusion of the US Secret Service into the supposed legal case against him — I really don’t understand how the freakin’ Secret Service could/should be involved in a case like this. Reportedly, Swartz was arrested in July 2011, charged with illegally…
Overcast and a bit on the warm side this morning along California’s northern coast, but that’s gotten to be fairly normal lately. A lot of shit has become ‘normal‘ most recently. President Obama nominated a couple of guys yesterday for some important government posts — one was a good choice, the other right out of…
Sunday morning coming down, and all around as the news cycle closes the weekend off from reality. Up here along California’s northern coast, the weather is overcast, but still a bit warmer than last week and there’s a forecast for some rain later — like a lot of other predictable shit, we’ll just have to…
Clear skies again this morning, seemingly-like creating a trend — now three days in a row where I can actually see the sun come up without the silly fog. And here on California’s northern coast, the sound of the nowhere-peaceful Pacific can heard roaring through the air. A check on the news seems to produce…
Quiet and still this wee-early Tuesday morning on California’s northern coast, creating a false sense of all is well with the world. When it ain’t. Of course, the entire world is overwhelmed by the curious Mars landing — $2.6 billion worth of excitement, while down here on planet ground-level, the costs of everything seems to…
Fog fairly thick this morning along California’s northern coast, listening to the TV as I work my laptop — nubile financial expert Paul Ryan on ‘Face the Nation‘ and blubber-blundering about Mitt Romney’s nefarious everything this past week, though, he just can’t comment on the obvious lying and spinning. Turnabout is not necessarily fair play …
Glitch: A minor malfunction, mishap, or technical problem; a snag: a computer glitch. This site went white the last couple of days due to a odd malfunction in what’s called a ‘plugin,’ and the personal ether was kinda technically-freaky for awhile. Nowadays via a a portion of George Carlin: I use the f word in…
In the midst of a crazed, over-gorged news cycle of late – from weather to sluts — a continuing, most-nefarious news story popped up again this week in the announcement of a subdued settlement in just one legal aspect off what’s so-infamously now known as the BP Oil Disaster. Just as trial was to begin…
