War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Bright and chilly this Monday morning on California’s north coast. A more-crisp feel to the air as we’re experiencing a lull in the rain for a few hours — the NWS had earlier invoked a ‘Frost Warning’ for our area, indicating winter a-coming. Another rain front expected later this afternoon with drizzles and such until…
Overcast with occasionally some faded-yellow sunlight peeking through this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, an environment corresponding to a ‘slight chance‘ of wetness forecast for today, with a supposedly true rainstorm slated for Sunday. Surreal image at the right is an enlightened Dick Cheney, of course, one of the greatest living villain-assholes of our…
Last night at a Iowa fundraiser, Bernie Sanders proclaimed about the entire Republican Party: “They suffer from amnesia.” Mental incoherence is required — under the watch of the last GOP president: Worse attack ever on US soil, created a never-ending war in the Middle East, worse-ever response to a natural disaster, and, was oblivious to a…
As the fall turns into winter here on California’s north coast, another nasty-nugget from the lie-archives of the Iraqi war — according to a leaked memo, in public, Tony Blair was a seeker of peace, in private he was in war-cahoots with George W at least a year before the invasion. Ironic considering the GOP-inflamed…
Fog-influenced overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast — another notch in our mundane weather cycle. Now officially into summer, we’re still going to be the same for awhile. Despite the environment here along the Pacific shoreline, the NWS calls for triple-digit temperatures this week for the interior, and more wildfires. We’re supposedly due…
Light overcast this early Thursday on California’s north coast, maybe hinting of real sunshine quickly coming as heat burns off the fog allowing a brighter air — instead of the gloomy-gothic gray. In context of pessimism, Pope Francis was set for pontificating on climate change this morning, but tragically the encyclical event was overshadowed by…
Overcast with thick-gray clouds this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, supposedly another episode in a mundane weather routine — fog tainted with sunlight, rinse and repeat. However, I do so-prefer here than the three-digit temperatures found in the interior, away from these shoreline breezes. We’ll top in the mid-60s today most-likely. Seems little Eddie…
(Illustration found here). Nearly 11 years ago, and standing proud on Texas dirt, Dick Cheney, George W., and Don Rumsfeld posture perfect while seriously explaining away an accelerating horror-nightmare then boiling out-of-control in Iraq (US troops in August 2004 were having an extra-nasty time in Najaf), and were still full of war fever — another…
A near-ethereal sunrise this early Wednesday, at least as witnessed from my little back patio, situated not far from California’s north coast, — sky to the east hazy, but above and roundabout seemingly clear as a bell. Maybe rain forecast now for Saturday night, but till then, according to the NWS, continuing ‘mostly sunny,’ which…
Bright and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast, and a bit of breeze-driven chill in the air, too — altogether not unpleasant, however. I saw this story from over the past weekend, the first reaction to the headline at Raw Story was WTF! ‘George W. Bush Gets Intelligence Group Award.’ Yet the stink —…
